Hot Fun In the Summertime
A Week of Summer Play - 4 week old pups!
In the Spotlight - 3 weeks old!
Scout's Mamma Mia! pups are 3 weeks old and the time is flying by! This week we started early potty training, handling exercises (in addition to the normal loves and cuddles!), daily socialization experiences, and sound desensitization. Puppies at this age can be a bit messy—between starting potty training and learning to eat puppy food, which means we're cleaning constantly. And in the McLaughlin house, cleaning is virtually synonymous with singing and dancing along to our favorite music, so these little guys are very familiar with their namesake songs! It's been busy around here, but these pups have definitely inherited momma Scout's incredible "go with the flow" attitude towards life! Over the next few weeks, we're excited to watch as their own individual personalities develop—we know they'll be showstoppers!

The Lineup - June 8
The #MamaMia pups are 2 weeks old! Eyes starting to open, and definitely quick to scramble to mama Scout when there's milk to be had!
Enter Stage Right! Tuesday, May 25!
Scout's puppies stepped into the spotlight this past week! We had eagerly awaited Scout’s 2nd litter of puppies. Since her last litter arrived with little warning, we kept careful eyes on her for several days before her due date. Thankfully, these pups arrived right in middle of the day (easier on us humans than the middle of the night)! Scout is an excellent momma, cuddling and nursing with a no-stress approach. All 5 pups are growing nicely rounded bellies and shiny fur!
The two oldest McLaughlin kids were part of a local high school musical the weekend before these pups were born, thus the name theme—Mamma Mia songs!
