Tulip & Storm's Litter – Happy 6-Week Birthday!

 

Six Weeks of Zoomies, Snuggles, and New Adventures!

Another week has brought so many exciting milestones! The puppies have spent most afternoons outdoors this past week, usually after lunch, as we begin encouraging them to do their business outside (and yes...it's working, haha!).

They're still a little cautious when they first venture into the yard, but within minutes their confidence takes over and they're happily exploring every corner. Tulip keeps a watchful eye on each and every one of them, always making sure her babies are safe while giving them the freedom to discover the world around them.

This week they've also started exploring the puppy tunnel and their crate, both of which have quickly become part of their daily adventures. Tulip continues to be an incredibly devoted mother and is never away from her puppies for very long.


At six weeks old, their curiosity is in full swing. Every stick, leaf, weed and bug deserves a thorough investigation and then another one just to be sure! They are active, playful, inquisitive little explorers with razor-sharp milk teeth, and they spend much of their day chasing, wrestling, and interacting with their littermates as they learn valuable social skills.

Tulip still enjoys the occasional bully stick, although lately she's been carrying it into the puppy pen and leaving it for her little ones to discover. It's such a sweet reminder of what a thoughtful and nurturing mom she is.


The puppies are now eating three hearty meals each day, followed by visits to Tulip's milk bar for dessert. Their appetites are excellent, and they're growing beautifully. We're also beginning to see the first glimpses of their individual personalities. Over the next week or two, those unique temperaments will become even more apparent, making this one of the most exciting stages of their development.

It's amazing how quickly they're growing, and we're soaking up every moment of this wonderful journey. Stay tuned.....

Storm & Tulip Puppies – Day One

  They're Here! What a day it was! Tulip didn't skip a beat yesterday. She enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner as if it were any other day... and then, at 6:30 p.m., she calmly welcomed her first puppy into the world. Making a grand entrance was  Mr. Rocky Road  (brown collar). Not long afterward,  Mr. Maple Walnut  (beige collar) arrived, and that's when things started to get a little more exciting! Our third arrival,  Mr. Pistachio  (green collar), decided the backyard lawn was the perfect place to make his debut while Tulip and I were out for an evening walk. Thankfully, I always carry a towel with me when we're close to whelping. I scooped up our newest little traveler, and Tulip and I made a speedy dash back to the house. The surprises didn't stop there!  Miss Vanilla  (white collar) made her entrance on the bedroom carpet while I was letting Tulip outside for a quick bathroom break. Shortly afterward,  Mr. Moose Tracks  (blac...

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...
