Storm and Sierra Litter – Week Seven

We are such a happy bunch.

“Does this Rag Smell Like Chloroform?”


We have litters of puppies that are memorable to us for different reasons. In the case of Sierra’s litter, they’re renowned for their ability to sleep soundly. And they’ll do it anywhere. This past week, the gang went on their first car ride to visit our friendly veterinarian. Some litters will punctuate the ride with ear-piercing shrieking, but not this one. They managed to sleep through the entire ride. Once at the clinic, they put their best feet forward and were very well-behaved, but also very brave throughout their examinations. All scored top marks.

This group doesn’t always come across as though in a coma. They have their share of rowdy moments and we’re sure it was a team effort that resulted in the inversion of the “tip-proof” water bowl in their whelping box. Best of all, they had massive play dates with Bailey and her eight pups. The weather was agreeable enough that we were able to get everyone outside together. While inside, Bailey will often stand inside either whelping box just to be close to the puppies. While outside, she loves to engage the little ones in play and they were all too willing to oblige.

The other morning as the household was waking up, the noise level was ramping up with the clanging of dishes as breakfast was being prepared and barking dogs that either were waiting to be fed or wanting to go outside. In Bailey’s litter right “next door”, the pups were already bouncing off the walls playing with each other and squealing with delight. And Sierra’s gang you might ask?  Sound asleep.

The past few weeks have seen a roller coaster sampling of weather wherein the group has experienced all four seasons. They had ample fun playing together, whether inside or out and they made a lot of friends, both two and four-legged. While it’s sad to see them go, our hearts are warmed by the knowledge that the puppies will be abundantly loved as they continue on the next leg of their journey. As the week wound down, we spent a lot of time with each and every one to ensure that we all got our fill of kisses. These were among the most special moments that we’ll treasure forever. So long, little ones and be safe!

P.S.  We’ll be looking for your picture postings on Instagram! #regalgoldensfamilytree

That concludes this edition of “Puppy Tales”.  See you next litter!

A Big Week for Dutch and Fiona's Puppies!

Two weeks old today! Fiona's puppies are now two weeks old, and what an exciting stage this is! Every day brings new changes as the puppies grow stronger, more aware, and even more adorable (if that’s possible). At this age, the biggest milestone is that their eyes are now open! Though their vision is still a bit blurry, they’re beginning to see the world for the first time — mostly shapes, light, and movement. Over the next week, their eyesight will continue to sharpen, and they’ll start recognizing their littermates, their mom, and of course, us humans. The puppies are also becoming more mobile. Their wobbly little legs are gaining strength as they start to scoot, crawl, and even attempt to stand. It’s amazing to watch how quickly they go from tiny, sleepy newborns to curious explorers. Fiona is doing a wonderful job keeping everyone clean, warm, and fed. Although she doesn't have the milk supply we hoped for, we are supplementing by bottle feeding at least once daily.  The p...

Three Weeks Old — A Big Milestone for Fiona and Dutch’s Puppies!

Today marks a special milestone for our  puppies from Dutch and Fiona— they’re three weeks old! The puppies have begun eating on their own, a big step in their early development. Fiona is still nursing, but less frequently now, as the puppies transition to solid food. Because her milk supply was limited, we’ve been bottle-feeding to supplement their nutrition over the past few weeks. Now that they’re confidently eating on their own, it’s wonderful to see them thriving and growing stronger every day. At three weeks, puppies start showing more awareness of their surroundings. Their little legs are steadier, their eyes and ears are fully open, and their curiosity is blooming. They’re beginning to interact with one another — playful tumbles, wagging tails, and the sweetest attempts at barking! And as for Fiona… she’s quite happy with this new stage too — especially because she gets to enjoy all the leftovers once the puppies are done eating! Stay tuned.....
