Ruly and Tulip Litter - Week 5

Tulip’s Puppies Turn 5 Weeks Old Today – Growing Fast and Full of Cuteness!

Wow, time is certainly flying by! It always amazes me how quickly these little puppies are developing. At just 5 weeks old, the puppies are already averaging 8.5 lbs—up from around 6 lbs last week! They’re eating three meals a day, with each pup consuming about 3.75 oz per meal.

The biggest change this week is how social they’re becoming. The pup are starting to interact more with each other and with humans. When they hear a human voice or spot a hand, they excitedly move toward it, eager to engage. It’s such a joy to watch their personalities begin to shine!

This week also marks the start of housetraining. Puppies don’t like to soil where they sleep, so we’ve introduced a tray with an incontinence pad. About 80% of the time, they use it to go to the bathroom—such a smart group already!

Tulip is still very hands-on with her puppies, always staying close to them and offering care, but she’s also taking a little time for herself. She now sleeps outside the whelping box to get some much-needed rest. It’s clear she’s doing an amazing job as a mom, and we’re so proud of how caring she is.

It’s been such a joy to watch these puppies grow and develop, and we can’t wait to see what the next week brings!

Stay tuned.....

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...
