Storm and Faith Litter – Week Four

This weeks it's all about playtime!

“Divas”

The pups are spending a great deal of time playing and interacting with their siblings. Mr. Blue Curaçao and Miss Crème de Menthe are enjoying a great brother/sister dynamic as they play. Meanwhile Mr. Marsala expends some of his energy either singing or providing instructions to the group with his verbalizations; we’re not sure which. Since everyone is growing so quickly, they need weekly grooming, and no one enjoys spa day with mani-pedis more than our two resident divas: Miss Limoncello and Miss Kahlua. Of course, we’re not using colour just yet.

 The action has ramped up in Faith’s quarters this week! Miss Faith and her crew have been relocated into the living room which is like a V.I.P. room for moms. She has a sofa to stretch out on for her ultimate relaxation while being able to keep a watchful eye and ear on her brood. What’s more, she has a private yard for a little walkabout which her puppies will eventually use as their playground.  In the meantime, the puppies have gym memberships thanks to an elaborate play station and numerous plush toys at their disposal. And in order to accommodate the puppies’ rapid growth and increased mobility, we’ve removed the pig rails from the whelping box and added an extension to the box which gives the gang lots more room to play in.

 Chanel and her litter of ten have also been relocated to the living room where they occupy the neighbouring whelping box. There are occasional sing songs back and forth, but so far everyone’s been on their best behaviour and we haven’t been advised of any noise complaints.

 That’s it for now but be sure to join us next week for another chilling installment of “Puppy Tales”.  If you're not able to view our video below, please click on this link.

Bronson and Tulip Litter – 7 weeks

We're 7 weeks old today! It has been an adventure-filled week! It was the puppies' first-time riding in a car! Introducing them to new experiences begins at this age. Rides in cars, sounds, meeting new people, etc. Our puppies are often taken to Home Depot, Winners, Homesense, Petsmart, and other pet-friendly stores after they receive their next set of vaccinations. While they still ride in the shopping cart, their horizons are broadening. We’ve expanded the puppies play area which is either in our kitchen, outside in the yard or on our porch depending on the weather. They enjoy playing together and are becoming more and more confident. Their play area includes toys an activity center, a crate, and tunnel.  Jolly Pets' Jolly Ball was a huge hit today. The puppies seemed to take turns carrying it! All of them weigh between 13 and 15 pounds. Their appetites are good, and momma Tulip occasionally stops by with a vanilla milkshake. Beef, turkey and chicken are among the protein...

Bronson & Tulip Litter– Week 6

A very happy 6 week birthday to this eye-catching litter! We are loving every minute we have with this litter and the weeks are flying by. The milk bar continues to be provided by Tulip who is an excellent mom. We had a wonderful time outside in between the rain showers this past week. The pups are confident and didn't seem nervous at all. Immediately they were at ease in their new surroundings, sniffing and exploring this new exciting adventure. Each time they go out, they explore further into the backyard but are always under the watchful eye of Tulip. This litter continues to be very quiet, which means they are very happy and content. They are all approaching 10 pounds in weight and it amazes me from one day to the next how quickly they grow up.  Mom begins weaning the pups and teaching them discipline. Through puppy play-biting, the pup learns bite inhibition and socialization with its siblings. Normal behaviour at this age. Six-week-old puppies still have a lot to learn from t...

Bronson and Tulip Puppies - Week 3

This week was filled with milestones!  The puppies are currently eating solid food, walking around, and interacting with each other. They're changing hourly! It is common for us to comment at this stage that puppies have grown so much since morning to evening. Puppies now eat two meals a day and supplement with momma's milk bar. Tulip will be pleased when pups begin eating three times a day next week. There is no doubt that they are quick learners. After the second feeding, they knew what to do and ate with enthusiasm.  Puppies are typically used to sucking, so we add raw goat's milk to pure ground turkey along with pre-probiotics, vitamins, and minerals. They devoured the second feeding in record time. Upon finishing the milk bar, their mom stopped by with dessert and they all fell asleep. Our whelping box has now been extended, so the pups have double the space to move around now that they weigh an average of 5 pounds. A pair of cameras has been set up for you to watch th...
