Oh My What a Week We Have Had!!

So, where do I begin?

Maybe I’ll just skip the mini disasters of the week and go right to the tree crashing across our entire front yard three days ago!

Thankfully no serious damage…but we are now on day 3 of having no power and no internet. Which means of course….no blog posts!

 

So I am at our wonderful public library, plugged in and recharging my phone and my computer. So this will be brief!

So this is the tree…at least 1/4th of it!

And here are a few cute videos….

 

And some very cute still photos!!!

They all really love their puppy bed!

Sitting down on the job!

Looking for a friend!

And this is how i feel right about now! Like I could fall asleep just about anywhere! So I guess I will head home from the library and hope our power is back on!

 

 

 

Sienna’s puppies are really into their new food!

 

 

And “nailing it” with potty training at just 3 1/2 weeks!

 

 

One Week Old and Twice as Big!

The beginning of socialization! My daughter in law getting her first wiff of puppy breath and giving Sienna some loving!

 

Our puppies turned 1 (week) today! They are doing great…even the little one! Everyone has at least doubled their weight which is a good sign.

The first three weeks are always the clinchers. I

don’t want to let Sienna outside because we have tons of deer in our neighborhood. They are beautiful but also disease carriers. While the pups do benefit from Mom’s antibodies in the colostrum and in her milk, I am nervous.

Here are some recent photos!

Grandson Ben loves to hold puppies! This is the same young man featured on the “cover” of this website….10 years ago! He is holding our littlest one, Luxio.

They try to sleep in clumps!

You can’t see them all, but the other 5 are nestled under the whelping pen’s pig rail. A pig rail prevents mom from accidentally crushing one of her babies.

Sienna getting some quality on my bed with Luxio. My way of making sure this pup gets all the milk he needs. Special times.

Sienna, me and Luxio. (I am terrible at selfies!)
