March 9th - The puppies are almost ready to go home. They are eating dry food and drinking water. They are likely some of the smartest puppies we have ever had. Major problem solving skills.
The vet check was last week. We use Hillsdale Animal Hospital for wellness vet care. Everyone will get a health record to share with their new vet.

Life with a new puppy is easier if you have the gear. Take a look here for some puppy supply recommendations.

March 2nd - These babies are doing so great! They are eating dry food and drinking water. Using the litter box like big puppies. Heaven likes to sit with them sometimes but those nails and teeth are painful so she cant take it too long and she lays on her belly so they cant get to her. They will be weaned soon.
Took a quick video yesterday. So much personalities! Vet check next week!

February 21st - The puppies are growing fast. They are eating well. Heaven still nurses often and sometimes just likes to lay with them. They have started using the litter box. YAY! This makes my life easier for sure.
Sylvester was so cute for his pictures this week. Check out this video of him during his photoshoot.

August 30th- Phoenix puppies are very advanced for their age. The door of the whelping box stays closed now since they can hop out when they decide too. Now, they know when mom is on the other side and they reaching at the door to let her in. They are doing well with litter box training. Playing together nicely. They are eating well. Right now they get water soaked Purina Pro Plan Large Breed puppy food. A bit of Fortiflora probiotic and Purina Pro Plan Large Breed canned food added to make it extra tasty. They will be eating dry food by the time they go home. They were dewormed a second time and will be dewormed again before going home.

August 25th- The puppies are 3 weeks old now. They have been dewormed, have started using a litter box and have started eating food! What a busy time. Phoenix stay close by and nurses of and on thru the day. Here is a video of them having food for the first time.

August 16th- Phoenix and her puppies are doing great. Little gizmo is small but keeping up with his brother and sister. Eyes and ears are open. Puppies are playing and peeking out of the whelping box.

August 4th- Phoenix had her puppies on July 28th. They are doing well. This is her last litter. She is a super mom. Hard to believe she is 6 years old already.
Here is a cute video of the puppies.

March 9th - The puppies are almost ready to go home. They are eating dry food and drinking water. They are catching up quickly with Heaven's puppies. I leave the whelping box door open so they can watch each other during playtime.
So... Legend's litter had a rough start when we lost those 4 beautiful souls. Early on I checked to see how many girls and how many boys we had and then gave them their litter names. Well... I was touching up Peak's color and happened to notice that HE was actually a SHE! I have done this in the years past and actually did that this time with Appaloosa but it was always early on. This time it was 6 weeks. It was funny because after the discovery she turned and looked at me like "I have been trying to tell you!" So funny. So I doctored up some of her pictures to add a little girl. :-)

March 2nd- Legend's puppies started dry food today. They are drinking water too. They are still trying to figure out the litter box. They will get there. It just taking them just a bit longer. Legend goes in to feed them and grabs a toy and gets the heck out. OUCH she says...
These are cookie cutter puppies. They look so similar. Take a look at this quick video I took yesterday.

February 23rd - Legend puppies have been little eating machines! Great to see. They have a litter box now. Hopefully they will get the hang of using it soon.
The puppies are moving around well now and playing alot more. They will be trying to get out of the whelping box any time now.

February 16th- Yay... 3 weeks old! This is the date we pray for. Our safe place. Puppies are stronger and thriving at 3 weeks. Legend is feeling good. Eating well. Her puppies are exploring the whelping box some. Playing with the toys and each other a bit. Even started doing the frankenstein walk.
Puppies were dewormed at 2 weeks. Again at 4 and 6 weeks.
They started food yesterday. They will be eating wet puppy food twice a day. Check out this video.
Here is a video of Legend and her puppies this morning. So funny, she didnt stir when they were crawling all over her head. I feel like that some mornings too. No judgement here.

August 29th- Kinzie's puppies have come out of their milk comma. Kizie is nursing on a schedule. She stays close by keeping an eye on them. They are playing with toys. Just starting to use the litter box. They are enjoying the TV. If they get fussy, I turn up the tv and they usually settle right down.
They are eating water soaked Purina Pro Plan Large Breed puppy food. A bit of Fortiflora probiotic and Purina Pro Plan Large Breed canned food added to make it extra tasty. They will be eating dry food by the time they go home. They were dewormed a second time and will be dewormed again before going home.

August 25th- Kinzie and her puppies are doing well. They are still in their milk coma but but did start food last week. Here is a video of them. They were dewormed. They have a litter box but have not started using it yet. They will get there slowly over the next few weeks. They have been barking and playing together with toys. Kinzie is never far away. She is always watching over them. Here is a video of them nursing.

August 16th - Kinzie had her puppies early, on July 31st. They are huge so very ready to be here. She and the puppies are doing well. Their eyes and ears are open. They are just sleeping and eating right now. Kinzie likes to steal stuffies from the other moms whelping boxes and bring them to her babies. So funny!
Here is a sweet video of the Kinze and her puppies.

August 25th - Kastle is doing a great job with Cruise and PrarieDog. She loves them both equaly. They are just sleeping and looking like baby seals. Very chubby! Lots of milk. Almost 2 weeks old now. Cruise has her eyes open. Prarie Dog does not yet but any day now.

August 16th - Kastle had one baby girl on August 13th. She is strong and thanks to Legacy has a little brother to grow up with. This is awsome since just one puppy can be lonely.

August 25th - Legacy had 4 puppies on August 14th. She and her puppies are doing well. Kastle is raising one of her puppies for her. This way she has 3 and Kastle has 2. No lonely moms or puppies. The puppies are eating and sleeping alot. When Legacy is not laying with her puppies, she is sneeking into the other mom's whelping box collecting stuffies. Only the best for her puppies. So sweet!
