Headed Home Tomorrow, April 24
8 weeks tomorrow?! The rain held off today - that means we've been able to play outside and have their last photo shoot outdoors. Thanks again to Sue for the gorgeous dog bandanas! Sue is a DH momma of two (Cooper and Sophie) and works with me to get each litter a specific print / theme. www.cooperlovessophie.com

Hangin' Out, April 23
Noel's babes go to their fur-ever homes in just 2 days! We are enjoying every minute of snuggles and silliness we have left......I am so excited for their new families - they are going to love their pups - we sure do!
About the videos below: The puppies were enjoying playtime in our living room with their normal "puppy" toys....until they came across the "momma bones" - game changer. They thought the bones were pretty amazing.

Sweet cuddles and a "mooch" (as Reid calls it). ❤️ (left to right, Fischer - Reid - Rossignol)

6 Weeks, 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). Noel and Eevee's pups now closer in size, play together and sleep together.
5+ Weeks, April 7
It's another beautiful sunny ☀️ day - YEAH! The pups have really been enjoying exploring outside. They are playing on different surfaces (grass, leaves, sand/dirt) and playing with outdoor toys (balls, tugs and bones tied up for them to reach for) and different kinds of sights and sounds (balloons tied to string, children bouncing on trampoline right next to one of our outdoor pens, music playing on the outdoor speaker, birds chirping and flying by as well as peeper frogs chirping in the pond) and they are making "new" friends (playing with Eevee's pups). Every day is a new adventure.

4+ Weeks, April 2
Noel's pups will be 5 weeks this Saturday. They are enjoying exploring (playtime in their puppy pool and learning to get their legs under them on our hardwood floors) and playing with toys, though momma still is their favorite. We love snuggles on the couch while reading or watching a show, and my boys may have even begun sneaking them into their beds at night. 😉 The kids think that's pretty fantastic, but so do the pups - their wiggly-waggy tails going a mile a minute.
A little blurry - but a cute action shot of Salomon trying to see which momma was walking by.
Doesn't take much activity before the pups are ready for a rest. □
Video below: All the mommas enjoy when the pups are in the pool. Very often you'll find them jumping in to check on the pups (as you can see Summer is about to - and as Madi did just after I stopped recording).
2+ Weeks ❤️, March 17
Noel's babies have opened their eyes! I love being able to hold them and look into their eyes. It's also neat to watch as now they not only smell to locate momma, but they can see her. Noel is being a fantastic mother, nursing and snuggling with her babies. She enjoys us doting on her and her babes, but still prefers the other "ladies" in the house keep their distance.

Leap Year Babies! February 29!
Noel welcomed her first litter very late in the evening of February 29 - LEAP YEAR BABIES! The pups are all shades of apricot (light to dark). There are 6 boys and 1 girl. Noel has taken her role of mother and protector quite seriously, not wanting to leave her babes for a moment.
