Two weeks worth of puppy pictures...

Hi Everyone!  I know I haven't uploaded any photos of the puppies for a while, but now that they are really active, it's hard to get good pictures.  So I'll show you some of the ones I've taken but haven't shared yet.
The puppies at 7 weeks old.

The pink color collared girl went to her forever home on Sunday the 15th.  She went home with a very nice guy named Kolton.  I hope they will be happy together for years to come!

The puppies at 8 weeks old.

 Bo and two of the boys playing in the yard.

 Bo is very good with the pups.  He lets them climb all over him.  I've nicknamed him the babysitter, because he helps me keep them away from the road.  I always put him out in the yard first, then open the door to the puppy nursery and let them out.  They go running for the door where he is waiting and they all have to stop and jump up on him to say hello before they head out to the yard to do their business.

 It's really quite the sight to see them run out and then all over the yard, staying together most of the time.  I have an outside kennel that I use for the big dogs, but have been putting the pups in to safely enjoy the outside.  I also put them in it so I can clean the nursery.

It has really been fun having them.  I'm still trying to find homes for them all.  I've had lots of calls but the timing just hasn't been right.  My hunting friends think I've priced them too low.  They have seen them in action and have been impressed by them.  So we'll see what happens this week.  Well, thanks for stopping by.

Six weeks old...

Hi Everyone!  I meant to post this yesterday, but ran out of time.  The puppies are six weeks old now.  On Monday they are going to the vet for their first set of shots.  These pictures are from Wednesday night when I moved them out of their normal area into this make shift play pen area so that I could clean their area.  This first picture is of Bo (Sire) watching them.  He's fascinated by them. 

The puppies are eating dog food.  For the most part it still has to be wet or watered down dry food, but they are starting to go for the all dry stuff too.  It just depends on the time of day.  They have been separated from mom for over a week now.  But if they see her and think they can get to her, they run after her and she just runs the other way.  Her milk is just now starting to dry up.

I've been taking them outside every night after work and a couple of times a day on the weekends.  They love it!  It's fun to watch them chase each other and roll around.  This weekend several people are stopping by to take a look at them.  So hopefully they'll be finding their forever homes.  Less than two weeks before they can go home.  I'll be sad, but I've loved the experience.  Thanks for stopping by.

5 week old puppies...

 The puppies are five weeks old now.  It doesn't seem possible.  The puppies went to Mom and Dad's after the Easter meal was over and the egg hunt was done so that my cousin's children could see them.  This little guy is super afraid of dogs but this is the second visit he's had with the puppies so maybe we can lay some of those fears to rest.  Doesn't he look happy holding that puppy!

Look at how big these puppies are getting.  All the puppies use to fit nicely in this basket and now look at them.  But they are healthy dogs and getting bigger every day.  They are using the puppy pee pads instead of their bedding which has made it much easier on me to clean up.  And in case I haven't mentioned it, the puppies were born in the large bathroom closet and have their bed and play area in there and their food and pee pads on the floor in the bathroom.  The bathroom is tiled which makes clean up so much easier.


Next week the puppies go back to the vet for their first round of shots.  And in three weeks they will be able to go to their new homes.  So, if you are interested in a puppy, please let me know.  Thanks for stopping by.

Puppy collars, food, and activity galore...

Hi Everyone!  Here are some pictures I took a few days ago.  The puppies now have collars on so it's very easy to tell them apart.  And made giving them their de-worming medicine much easier.  They are really getting active.  They can all climb over the wooden barrier except for one, the blue collared boy.  He has a little trouble but is starting to figure it out.  They stay in their area except for when Bailey and I go in and then it's a mad dash to get to her and to see me.  They are also starting to use the puppy pee pads, hallelujah! which makes cleaning up after them so much easier!!!  I've started them on puppy food, watered down or wet canned food.  They get a little milk from mommy yet, but they have teeth now, OUCH! 

If you know anyone interested in a puppy, let me know. Thanks for stopping by.

Mug shots...

Hi Everyone!  Here are some close up pictures of each puppy and their profile.  As you can see, they all now have collars so it's easy to tell them apart.  And they are getting big.  My dad is hold them and they are definitely a two-handed handful!  The profile picture of each puppy is right next to their portrait picture.  You can't always see the collar in the picture, but I know the order they were taken and then have their pictures labelled.  The first two are the girls and then the boys.

If you're interested in a puppy or know someone that is, please contact me.  I'm taking reservations.  Well, thanks for stopping by.

We have activity...

Hi Everyone!  The puppies are finally getting active!  That means the fun is beginning!  I love it when they interact with me.  It's fun to cuddle them when their sleeping too, but their personalities are starting to form.  I already know who the smartest one is.  And yes, it's a girl!  But the most lovable is a boy.  It's difficult to get really good pictures of them when their active, so I'll just show the little photo session we had that ended with dinner on Bailey. 

And of course you can't tell it in the pictures, but when they start nursing, their tails wag.  Bailey has less than a week of nursing left because they will start to be weaned.  I think Bailey's more than ready for that to happen.   Well, thanks for stopping by.  If you are interested in a puppy, let me know.

The puppies are 3 weeks old...

Hi Everyone!  The puppies are three weeks old now and getting big.  I took them over to visit my mom and dad the other day.  These pictures were taken there. 

They are just huge!  All their eyes are open and their starting to get a little more active.  Although they slept most of the time we were at my parents.  But when I went home for lunch today, they were active!  They were rolling around with each other and one was pulling on one of the others ears.  Of course I didn't have my camera handy.  I'll try to take some more pictures tonight and post them.
