​Eight weeks & headed to their new homes, October 5, 2015

Eight weeks, always a bittersweet time.  By now we have totally fallen for the pups, and they have become such a fun part of our home and daily schedule.  Fortunately, we have WONDERFUL and loving families all eagerly awaiting this day when they can come and bring their new fur family member home! Congrats to all our very special families!!

Five weeks on a Fall-like day, September 14, 2015

The puppies have grown and changed so much in the past week. Personally, I think the biggest change (in behavior, personality, skill, size) is from 4 to 5 weeks of age.  The puppies love playing with toys, being held, chewing on any and EVERYTHING :-) and romping around (outside and in).

One Week (and a day), Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Izzie is doing a wonderful job as momma.  I am always amazed at the apparent ease with which our mommas handle litters of pups - as a mom I am awed at the love and attention she provides to each of her 9 pups!!! The pups are gaining weight and growing quite nicely. At a week they spend their day eating, sleeping, cuddling - REPEAT. :-)  Here are some pics of the newest members of our fur family. There are 4 boys and 5 girls, all apricot (varying shades) with wonderful white markings on their heads, chests, belly, and paws. 

Izzie's Pups Have Arrived, Monday, August 10, 2015

Izzie began labor on Sunday evening, and by Monday morning was cuddling and caring for her new litter of pups.  Momma is doing great and the pups are gaining weight nicely and eating all the time.  :-)  We are allowing momma and babes to settle in before photos (all pups are apricot in color with nice white markings - belly, chest, forehead, paws, etc).  We hope to get pics up by the beginning of next week (when the pups are a week of age).
