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...

Tulip & Storm's Litter – Five Weeks Old Already!

  Five Weeks of Fun and Growing Independence! Time is flying by, and I don't want to jinx it, but this has been one of the easiest litters so far. The puppies are thriving, eating exceptionally well, sleeping soundly, and, as many of you have seen on our 24/7 puppy camera, spending their waking hours playing, wrestling, and engaging together. Their little personalities will become more apparent over the next couple of weeks, and it's so much fun watching them interact with one another. Tulip continues to be an outstanding mother. While she still checks on them frequently, nurses them, and keeps a watchful eye over the litter, she's also enjoying a little more well-deserved time to herself. She has been spending more time with her adult pack. One of the highlights this week was a special visit from Dad, Storm. Tulip remained her protective self, carefully supervising the introduction, but she allowed Storm to quietly peek in on his youngsters. Storm was not invited to visi...

Dutch and Fiona's Puppies - 5 Week Old Birthday!

Puppies are 5 Weeks Old Today! Dutch and Fiona’s puppies reached a wonderful milestone today—they are officially  five weeks old ! They’re growing stronger, more coordinated, and much more mobile every day. This stage is incredibly important for gentle socialization and positive early experiences. Now that their little teeth have come in, you can hear them interacting more with their littermates—playful growls, tiny yips, and the occasional whimper when a sibling’s bite is a bit too enthusiastic. Their curiosity is blossoming, and they’re eagerly exploring their surroundings with increasing confidence. We’ve added more toys and an activity center to enrich their environment, and they’ve been enjoying every bit of it. They’re eating very well—about three ounces per meal. We’re rotating their proteins and supplementing with Welly Tails Puppy Start and Omega Alpha Puppy Probiotics to support their growth and digestion. We still sleep a lot! Last week we introduced a small toilet area ...
