Heidi and Hudson’s Litter Arrives – Day One



Welcome to the world!

 

Heidi and Hudson’s pups make their grand entrance!


We are delighted to announce the safe arrival of Heidi and Hudson’s puppies. It has been a whirlwind twenty-four hours. A trip to the vet revealed that Heidi was having very weak contractions and the puppies were ready to make their debut but her cervix was not open. At approximately 9:00 pm on Tuesday, February 26th, Heidi gave birth to twelve adorable and vocal puppies via C-section - six boys and six girls!

 We would like to thank everyone at Graham Animal Hospital for their amazing compassion and dedication. Special thanks to Dr. Carol Graham and Dr. Rasa Levenstein for once again going above and beyond.






The entire event occurred during a tremendous snow storm, however the puppies were snuggled together, keeping warm in our incubator during the lengthy trek back home.



The puppies are doing well and mom is getting to know them slowly. Heidi is still groggy from the surgery and a little uncomfortable, but is nursing non-stop. Fortunately she has a tremendous reserve of milk and no-one is going hungry!



That’s it for now, but be sure to join us next week for another riveting installment of “Puppy Tales”.

Dutch and Fiona’s puppies are now 7 weeks old!

Seven Weeks Old and Full of Fun! This week has been all about  play , and these little ones have truly come into their own. Whether romping around indoors or bounding through the snow, they’ve spent their days chasing each other, wrestling, and engaging in very determined games of tug-of-war. The puppies are now enjoying between  6.5 and 8 ounces of food per meal —and not a single morsel is ever left behind! They have fully transitioned to solid food, and Momma Fiona has officially retired from nursing. She has done a  phenomenal  job raising her babies, and now it’s her turn to rest and enjoy some well-deserved R&R. Although the puppies still sleep quite a bit, they are awake more often and absolutely adore being picked up and cuddled. This is such a sweet, affectionate stage. The highlight of the week was their  veterinary health checkup . We were incredibly fortunate to have our vet come to our home—especially helpful during today’s severe winter storm. H...

Six Weeks Already! Dutch and Fiona’s Beautiful Litter!

Dutch and Fiona’s puppies are six weeks old today — gosh, how time flies! What an exceptional litter they are. Their weights and appearances are remarkably consistent, with the girls just slightly smaller. If you’ve been watching on the 24/7 camera, you’ve probably noticed how much more they’re playing and interacting every single day. This week’s big news:  Fiona has decided that  all  the toys belong to her! One evening, I watched her go into the toy box, carefully select a toy, and carry it over to her bed. By the end of the night, every single toy had been relocated. She never destroys them — she simply gathers them like treasures. It’s absolutely comical. Faith ventured over to investigate, and let’s just say Fiona was  not  impressed with the intrusion. A huge thank-you to everyone who attended our open house last weekend. The puppies soaked up all the cuddles, and it was truly lovely meeting everyone. I know you're all getting excited to bring your puppy ...
