Bronson and Tulips Puppies

Bronson and Tulips Puppies - 2 Weeks old

It's been two weeks since we were born!

The puppies are growing rapidly and time is flying by!

This week marked a milestone as the puppies' eyes opened and they began to walk without assistance. Currently, they weigh about 3 oz and gain about two to three pounds daily. Each pup is weighed once a day now to ensure they are gaining weight and getting enough nutrition. It's no problem for Tulip to keep the milkbar open all day and night for them.

We will begin feeding the pups solid fresh food mixed with vitamin supplements and raw goat's milk next week. Over the next several weeks, we will wean them off momma's milk. Therefore, Tulip will supplement their diet rather than serve as their main food source.

The puppies' nails are being cut weekly now and I recommend you continue this at least every three weeks.

In addition to providing traction, short nails also protect your floors.

Tulip now moves freely in and out of the whelping box, and when "room service" arrives for her, she promptly leaves the whelping box. Tulip has a tremendous appetite and is being fed four times daily now. Several times, Mr. Blue Bell has been attached to her and ended up on the bedroom carpet!

He didn't seem to mind and waited for me to "air lift" him back to be with his siblings.

Stay tuned ......

PS Check your inbox for an invitation to watch the puppies live 10 am to 6 pm approximately. Note; times will vary daily. Additionally, I will send you weekly information about caring for your new family member.

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...

Dutch and Fiona’s Puppies – One Week Old Today!

Happy One Week Birthday! Fiona’s journey into motherhood has been nothing short of remarkable. After a long and exhausting 14-hour labour , she safely delivered 12 beautiful puppies . As the final hours stretched on, both Fiona and I were completely spent. Sadly, the last few pups became our little angels due to the extended delivery time. Despite every effort — providing oxygen and stimulation — we were unable to revive them. As heartbreaking as that was, we are deeply grateful to have nine strong, healthy puppies now thriving under Fiona’s care. This first week has brought its share of challenges. Fiona developed metritis , a uterine infection likely caused by the strain of her prolonged labour. She has been on antibiotics and is recovering well, but the infection initially impacted her milk production. To ensure the pups received the nutrition they needed, we began bottle feeding every 2–3 hours around the clock . Thankfully, the puppies ada...
