8 weeks today
Friday, September 25th, 2009The puppies turned 8 weeks old today, Arlene put a collar and a leash on them and 1 by 1 she walked them up to the corner of our property line to see their reactions. It was like they have been doing it on regular bases. Every one of them walked on a leash with no problems and they just took all their new surroundings in like it was a daily routine. We have 1 black female and 2 yellow males available at this time. Actually there are 3 yellow males but we have decided to keep 1. His name will be “Chisum” after the movie Chisum starring John Wayne.
Week 7–doesn’t seem possible!!!!!!!!!
Friday, September 18th, 2009Week 7 and boy are they an active bunch. They all enjoy being outside and romping around. There is not a shy one in the litter, they are all very active and out going. Today they will start to go to their new families it doesn’t seem possible that it has been 7 weeks. The picture below is rest time, it was much easier to take a picture when they are resting.
Week 6–Doggie Doctor
Friday, September 11th, 2009Arlene and I and 9 puppies all went to the doggie doctor today. The 9 pups had their physical and their first set of shots. All of them loved all the attention they received at our veterinaries office. When we returned home they stayed outside for about an hour, the weather was so nasty and it was their first time outside. Hopefully the weather will change and they will be out longer in the days to come. They all enjoyed being outside and ran around like they have been outside on a regular bases.
Miracle Update
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Miracle has settled in to her new home very well, they have taught her to come, sit, fetch, lie down. Her new family says she is a quick learner and now is up to 18.5 pounds. She is getting along with “Quincy” their other chocolate lab. Her new family registered her with AKC as Sunsets Little Miracle and her call name is Latte. No matter what her call name is Arlene and I are just happy that our little Miracle has a wonderful home with such a great family.
Week 5 and all is well!
Friday, September 4th, 2009Becky’s puppies are doing very well at this time. They all are growing very fast and are extremely alert to their surroundings. At 30 days old we moved their whelping pen from upstairs to the downstairs so they would see and experience more activity. The first few days they just took everything in, watching our other dogs and our 2 cats now the puppies want to romp with our older dogs. We usually don’t move their whelping pen until they are 6 weeks old but they all seemed like they were getting bored with just listening to music and having Arlene and I to socialize with and they would bark when ever they heard our other dogs barking. This litter has progressed at a rapid pace, they look and act like they are about 7 weeks and they are only 5 weeks. We had to put 2 pans of food down so they all had room to eat and boy do they eat. Next Friday they all go to the doggy doctor and then they will start going outside. Also it is hard to take picture they all move so fast, the best time for pictures is when they are eating at least then they are usually not moving so fast.
