Tulip & Storm's Puppies – Three Weeks Old Today!

 

Three Weeks of Growing, Exploring, and Playing!

It's hard to believe our Traveler's Litter is already three weeks old! This week has brought another exciting milestone as the puppies are beginning to walk with much more confidence and are starting to interact with one another. Watching them discover their siblings, play, and explore their surroundings is both entertaining and heartwarming. Their unique little personalities are beginning to shine through a little more each day but don't really emerge until 6.5 weeks of age. 

Tulip continues to be an exceptional mother. She still spends much of her day caring for and cleaning her puppies, but she's also beginning to ask for a little well-deserved "mom time." As soon as she heads outside, she races around the backyard, joyfully rolling in the grass before happily settling down with one of her favourite treats—a bully stick. She enjoys every minute of her little break... for about two minutes! Then she's back at the door, eager to return inside to check on her babies.

When she's ready for a slightly longer break, Tulip enjoys finishing her bully stick on our bed, where she has the perfect bird's-eye view of the whelping box. Even during her quiet moments, she's never far from keeping a watchful eye on her little family.

As we mentioned previously, this weekend marks another exciting transition. Tulip and the puppies are moving from our bedroom into their spacious puppy area in the living room. The slightly larger play area will give them plenty of room to explore, strengthen their legs, and continue developing their coordination.

Over the next week, we'll begin introducing their first solid meals as they become steadier on their feet. They'll also be introduced to a variety of toys, and an interactive play area designed to encourage confidence, curiosity, and healthy development.

The puppies are now weighing approximately 4 pounds each, and they're growing quickly! By the time they leave for their forever homes at eight weeks of age, they'll likely weigh around 15 pounds and will be well on their way to becoming confident, happy Golden Retrievers.

Every week brings new adventures, new discoveries, and plenty of smiles. We can't wait to share the next chapter with you!

Stay tuned… the fun is just beginning!

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.....
