Seven Weeks Old, Saturday, August 1, 2015

The past seven weeks have just flown by for us!  It seems like yesterday these little munchkins joined our family - and now we are just days away from them going home to their new and forever families.  They are a sweet, sassy, playful, and cuddly little group - and ADORABLE, of course!!  :-)

Five Weeks Old, Wednesday, July 15, 2015

It's an amazing transformation, and I think the biggest, between 4 weeks and 5 weeks.  The puppies are playing with toys, each other, and us.  They are chewing on toys and their litter mates and becoming vocal (as we like to say "sassy").  They've even started escaping from their whelping box if the doggie door cover is not clipped on - none of this was happening last week - so they've got us on our toes to say the least!  :-)  We are enjoying the energy and fun they bring into our home, even my youngest Drew, squeals with excitement when he sees them.  

This past weekend the pups had their first baths (yes baths - plural, they have been getting supplemental formula feeding and that is a very messy endeavor) in preparation for all of the families coming for visits (puppy selection). 

All pups have found wonderful forever homes!

Summer Sun, Thursday, June 26, 2015

The pups are now two weeks old and their eyes have opened! It was a beautiful sunny day, so we decided to take them outdoors for their photo shoot.  The sun was a perfect (natural) heat lamp, providing the pups with plenty of warmth - and us with great natural light.

Sadie's Pups are here, born Wednesday, June 10, 2015

Our home welcomed a beautiful litter of 8 pups (4 girls, 4 boys) yesterday, Wednesday, June 10!  Sadie did a fantastic job and has settled into her role of momma seamlessly.  The pups are doing great - eating, snuggling and of course sleeping.  Our name theme for this litter is "San" and "Santa" towns of California (Santa Ana, Santa Fe Springs, Santa Maria, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Pablo, San Leandro and San Jacinto).  More pics to come.
