Almost 8 Weeks, Wednesday, October 26
The pups will be 8 weeks this coming weekend and ready to head off to their forever homes. They are super fun and playful at this age; they love their Kong Wubba toy and play tug-of-war with each other almost anytime they're not sleeping. They've been practicing on the stairs and are getting quite proficient now. In fact, Laarzen has become quite a climber and managed to escape from the box yesterday - what a surprise when he came, tail wagging, to greet us at the door! A litter of pups always brings so much fun and energy into our home! We'll be sorry to see them go, but we know they'll be bringing their sunny spirits with them to their new families! The animal print we used as the background for these photos is in honor of the season; my boys will be dressing up as a cheetah, zebra, and giraffe for Halloween!

Indian Summer! Monday, October 17
We had so much fun playing outside on this gorgeous Fall day so I snapped a few photos on my phone. At 6 weeks old now, the puppies are starting to happily crunch down on dry kibbles, drinking from their water bowl with minimal swimming, and are just full of fun as they bounce and pounce their way between naps!
Family Visits This Weekend, Wednesday, October 5
The pups are 4, going on 5 weeks. This is such a fun week - personalities start to shine through, they begin playing with toys (and each other). The pups were not sure about the photo shoot (being on the table - "are you sure this is ok?") but enjoyed being center of attention. Absolutely adorable for sure!!

Open Eyes! Saturday, September 17
At two weeks old the puppies are fat little barrels of cuteness and have just opened their eyes! They still spend almost 100% of their time sleeping though so it's hard to get good photos with any attempt at alertness. But we managed to capture a few cute poses for you!
Knop (Button) - 1 pound, 11 ounces - female
Laarz (Boots) - 1 pound, 12 ounces - male
Kiki (Peek-a-boo) - 1 pound, 13 ounces - female

Hanna's Puppies are Here! Saturday, September 3, 2016
Hanna decided to take Labor Day weekend literally and proudly presented us with five adorable little puppies in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Mama has been very attentive to her little pups and she has been keeping them squeaky clean and well-nourished. Jack suggested we name the pups after Dutch things, so enjoy the fun names!
