First Day Out!

Hello Every one, today we had the pups experience the outside for the very first time. They had been out but only on the trampoline and Luna had touched the grass for a few minutes. However, today they got to play and run on the grass like real bonafide dogs!! They were in doggie heaven. Diamond and Stella were a bit apprehensive, yet they eventually warmed up to the idea, and towards the end got into it and started having fun too.  They ran and chased their Dad around. They were so fascinated by everything he did. Their Mom Bella was having so much fun, that she forgot that she is a mom! She thought they could tackle and run like grown dogs. She was a bit exuberant and flipped over them and ran into them even stepping on them, we had to tell her to stop and watch closely. She was so happy to go outside and play with her kids.  Mati Suki (Dad) was very gentle and appropriate with them and was careful not to bump them or anything, unlike Bella. We were pretty surprised by that, as we thought it was going to be the other way around.  Dogs never cease to impress and surprise us.  

Enjoy these photos.. I will upload video of their outside adventure as soon as I get a chance, but wanted to share the pics at least, so you all could see them on their special day.

Well happy Monday to all; if there is such a thing???

I was finally able to convert and upload Stella's video. This video is for Stella's family so they can see her while they wait for their puppy to come home. She is so sweet and lovely, we know they will so enjoy her. I am glad that I pushed through today and got it done, even if I am falling asleep as I type this! I had puppy duty last night so only slept like 4 hours total and then worked all day. Well signing off after this... So to all a goodnight.. Enjoy the video! My hubby thinks that it should have been made in color, but I just love the sepia tones as they are so romantic and melancholy. zzz ZZZ zzzz ZZZ...



Puppy updates - Video

Hello everyone! Sunday is almost come and gone; how can this be? I feel like I've accomplished nothing. Of course, taking care of 6 pups that are read to go, go, go, is a three person job and my girls both have been gone all day. On is working and the other gone to see a play. Therefore, I am terribly out-numbered and that is not even counting the adult dogs who need some care too, cleaning, boys, bills,  homework, etc..  If anything, I at least want to post two video updates, one of Luna and one of Stella, for their families..

Enjoy,

Stella for Helen and Fam.

Announcement!

Well, two posts in one day is rare, but I wanted to shout out a congrats to Payton as she has found a new family as well. Ken and Misty from Texas are the new proud owners!  Payton joins into a family of two parents and two dog siblings; an extraordinary min pin boy and a glamorous poodle girl.  Congratulations Payton!

GOT GOAT'S MILK?

All pups have families!

Good morning to all. I will write a short update as I am really swamped, but did not want to neglect the blog. The Pups are growing like weeds. They are doing so well. They are smart, alert, sweet, playful, and soooo healthy. What a difference when pups are raised at home underfoot and nursing from their mom for a long stretch. Many years ago when I would purchase a dog, the person would give me their medical records and there were several sicknesses listed and medicines already given to little babies!  I can't even imagine giving that poison to our pups, and they have never gotten a virus or cold. They are so robust; we are very proud of our litter. Last night I made them homemade gruel and they love it so much more that the canned chicken.  I included beef liver, apple pulp, kale, flax meal, coconut oil, two raw eggs (from our chickens of course) with shell, and some goat's kefir. Processed it well and voilà!  After eating, they enjoy raw Goat's Milk that we get from a wonderful local farmer.

The pups are nursing only like 4 times a day now, which is a much needed rest for mama Bella. She is glad to nurse them those few times and the gradual decrease has made it a comfortable transition for her without any engorgement or mastitis. She has been a star mom to such a big litter. I am going to post a pic of her in her honor. 

I want to announce that Diamond has found her forever home with the lovely Cecilia who comes from Kenosha. Diamond and her are a perfect fit, both beautiful and elegant.  We couldn't be happier.  Congratulations Diamond!

So I've got new pictures of the pups and a video I would like to add to this post.  The pups are 6 weeks old now and doing awesome. They are so adorable and have great personalities. They are going to make their new families very happy indeed.  Some of them are starting to want to play outside of their doggie play pen and even cry to get taken out. They are sooooo smart and use the pee pad very often. Today three of them, while wolfing down the delicious food I made them, actually stopped eating and walked over to the pee pad and did their business!! Super intelligent babies, no doubt. I don't know what we'll do when they are gone. :0(  We are going to miss them so terribly... Enjoy the pics..

It is time for an update on our Peke Pups. They are so big now and growing by the minute. They have been teething for like 2 weeks and many teeth broke through. Now they are biting each other and screeching out in pain. It is a bit of a show since I do believe they are feeling more insulted, rather than hurt.  We have 3 sold, and one I would like to keep so that leaves only 2 more to sell.  We can't believe that they will go to their homes in just under 4 weeks. We will certainly miss them, but they are a lot of work and we are certainly outnumbered. Enjoy a few photos of the puppies!

Hi everyone, the pups are growing like weeds. They are really aware now and have started playing with each other and actually peeing on the pee-pads!  The can lick now and I made them some puppy gruel. They love it! Now every time I hold them they go crazy licking my fingers trying to get some food.  They are still nursing and love that the best and could not care the least about the bottle and wont take it.  The sleep like 3 to 4 hours now thank goodness! Whoever sleeps next to them, can actually take pretty good long naps only waking to make sure they eat like 2 times in the middle of the night. This is a big improvement. Luv them! Wanna keep 'em all...
