Bella's Expecting!



Our sweet Bella’s ultrasound at day 30 of the gestation period

We are delighted to report that Bella’s ultrasound confirmed what we all thought – definitely expecting and everything is looking good. Bella and Hudson are a fine match and we look forward to them passing on their sweet stellar personalities to the little ones growing inside of her!

There are some interesting developments during the prenatal stages of pregnancy. A dog’s tactile perception develops before birth. Unborn puppies can detect touch when mom is petted so our Bella is getting lots of cuddles and belly rubs (her favorite!). Bella is on the very best diet possible to ensure her growing puppies are receiving all the nutrition they need for the best start in life.

Gestation period is approximately 60 to 63 days. At this point in a puppies development – day 30, their heartbeat can be heard, faces are taking shape, eyes, toes, claws and whiskers are developing also. Puppies at this age are about the size of an acorn or walnut.

The whole miracle of birth and the speed at which it unfolds within the womb is amazing. At this point fetuses are about 18 mm in size.

So the countdown begins…..stay tuned …

Jazz & Olivia Pups – 7 Week Birthday

Another Fabulous Week! What a week it’s been! The weather has been beautiful, and the pups have enjoyed every minute of it outdoors. Their confidence is blossoming, and they’re full of fun and personality. Momma Olivia remains completely devoted to her babies. She’s never far from them and even whimpers when separated for any length of time. Her maternal instincts are truly heartwarming. This week’s standout moment? Miss Magenta decided to show off her stealth skills—not once, but twice—by sneaking up and stealing my iPhone straight from my pocket! To make it even more hilarious, my phone is also magenta, so seeing her prance around proudly with a matching accessory in her mouth had us laughing out loud. We’re seeing more and more of the pups’ personalities shine through. They are playful, confident, and curious. After each meal, when the door of their whelping box opens to the backyard, they march out one by one like little soldiers. After about 20 minutes of play, they line up at the...

Jazz and Olivia’s Puppies – 6 Weeks Old Today!

 Jazz and Olivia’s Puppies – 6 Weeks Old Today!  Time is flying! It’s such a joy to watch these puppies grow and thrive — and their outdoor adventures are becoming more lively by the day. With the weather finally cooling down, the pups are enjoying more frequent time outside, and we've even set up a mini obstacle course to help build their confidence as they explore new sights, sounds, and textures. They’ve quickly caught on to our routine: lunch, then playtime! Like clockwork, they start to cry out in chorus — a little lunchtime symphony — knowing what’s coming next. As soon as we open the French doors to their private yard and unlatch the whelping box, they march right out, ready for action. The only challenge now? Getting them back inside! It’s become a full-on game of “Catch Me If You Can!” The pups are now weighing in at a healthy 10 to 12 pounds and have tremendous appetites. Each one is enjoying about 7 oz per meal, totalling approximately 21 oz of food daily. Their die...
