Off into the Wide World! May 2
It's always bittersweet - but we know these puppies are going to just wonderful families so we're very happy for them!
Trix is going to her new home in Clarksville, NY! And Cheerio will be calling Marblehead, MA home from here on!
Time to Wean! April 8
Trix, Cheerio, and Captain Crunch reached 4.5 weeks old today. We recently integrated them with Milly's puppies and all puppies are comfortable nursing from both moms. However, puppy teeth are in, so I can't say that both moms are comfortable nursing! Weaning has begun and the #CerealPups like their new chow. It's yummy to lap it up from the bowl, off your buddy's mouth, and off your feet after you've walked through it!
Hop over to see Milly's puppies' page and see what we're up to with shaping their "so what" response to abrupt noises and new environments. We're looking forward to meeting all the new families this weekend!

Toddlers! Friday, March 27
Princess and Nico's puppies are 3 weeks old and doing fantastic. We appreciate all Princess is doing for them. Princess has been getting back out on her normal walks and she lets the other mama dogs near her puppies now. They are toddling around their whelping box and take steps on the various surfaces we are exposing them to when they're awake and out of the box with us. When they sense their mama is near, they can now make slow strides towards her for a recharging snack.
In the video, you can see Cheerio climbing into other side of their playspace. Trix tries to follow, but Capt Crunch holds her back. Princess enters, munching loudly on food, and then Lacey enters for a brief moment.

Puppy Savings Time! Saturday, March 7
Princess’ first Dutch Haven litter arrived Saturday evening, at the exact same time as Milly’s pups! Princess had a quick and quiet labor, and she did a lovely job, licking and cuddling her pups immediately. She’s keeping them toasty and fed, and they’re growing quite round and chubby under her attentive care!
We’ve since started Early Neurological Stimulation, which is a series of short exercises that help stimulate growth and development in the puppies’ immune and cardiovascular systems, as well as increases their stress tolerance.
Cap’n Crunch: male, 10.0 oz, apricot with white snip on head and white patches on chest
Trix: female, 9.0 oz, solid apricot
Cheerio: female, 8.4 oz, lighter apricot with small white snip on head and chest
