8 Weeks Tomorrow, April 19

Not sure how we are already here (8 weeks?!).  The pups will be headed to their fur-ever homes starting tomorrow. We had their last photo shoot today, so the pups could show off their adorable little faces and their super cute bandanas from Sue at cooperlovessophie.com.  🐶😍

Happy Easter, April 12

Easter was a day for on-line services, egg 🐣 hunts, bouncing on the trampoline, a family hike and of course playing with pups. 

Pool full of cuteness! The pups love playtime in the pool (which usually begins at 2.5-3 weeks). Pups left to right - Grumblegard, Dak, Winger, Burple and Layla.

However, as you can tell - by almost 7 weeks they see themselves as too cool for the pool (and much prefer to romp around the house with us).

Time for Rest and Snuggles, April 11

After playtime outside and some lunch, the pups were tuckered and ready for a nap. Tyler and Reid wanted to be in with the pups and snuggle (though Dak seemd to still have a little bit of energy/interest in playing with Reid). Eevee and Noel's pups now closer in size, play together and sleep together.  

Just Another Day, April 10

Social distancing from friends, families and out-of-the home activities is made so much better with pups! ❤️🐶

6+ Weeks, April 7

The pups are loving the ☀️ and so are we!  This weather has allowed the pups to have plenty of outdoor playtime to romp around and explore.  While outdoors they are exposed to many new sights, sounds and surfaces to work on proper socializing. They've walked on grass, leaves, dirt, rocks, wood pallets and concrete.  They're experiencing new sounds - birds chirping in the trees, peeper frogs peeping in the pond, music on an outdoor speaker (ok, not new - I have music playing for them all day 😉), kids bouncing on the trampoline next to one of their yards, cars driving by and neighborhood dogs barking.  They are also working on their coping skills from environmental changes - balloons hung by string blowing in the breeze, plastic bags crinkling in the wind, sand trucks rolling by gently (Reid and Drew help roll their toys by for the pups to watch and once comfortable, follow along), and balls rolling by (Ty and Devin assist by gently passing a soccer ball back and forth), a vacuum cleaning near their pen, etc.  Socializing your pup doesn't just mean them hanging out with other dogs, it means exposing them to as many "new" and "different" experiences as possible. These guys are having a great start to their socializing.  👍

3 Weeks+, March 19

Eevee's pups are just like their momma - laid back and sweet!  Their eyes are open, and they have begun to respond to our voice and are have begun showing interest in toys.  We are so thankful to have these sweet pups to play and cuddle with. I got a couple videos too (see below) - of them starting to move about, play with toys and explore.  Soon they'll be bounding about!  ❤️🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶❤️

Playtime and Exploring, March 20

1 Week+, March 4

Eevee's pups are as easy going and chill as their mom.  Their favorite things to do are snuggle with momma and eat (as you can see, ha!).

Group Shots, March 4

Hello Puppies, February 24

Eevee's pups are here! Momma delivered just as easy and gentle as her disposition. Destiny had put the girls into their kennels for their dinner and walked out of the room to check on her dinner. Destiny walked back into the living room to check and see if momma Eevee was eating only to notice that Eevee had delivered her first pup! Momma and pup were just hanging out so peacefully together, Destiny almost didn't believe it! They were quickly moved to their whelping box (where a comfy heat lamp and soft blanket were waiting). Eevee then delivered 4 more beautiful and robust pups. There are 4 males and 1 female.

Name theme for this litter will be based on the characters from Reid's (Destiny's youngest) favorite show: Rescue Riders. We have Grumblegard (buff male), Burple (apricot male), Winger (apricot male), Layla (apricot female) and Dak (light apricot male).
