Four weeks old

 Finally for all those owners-to-be patiently waiting for photos, here they are.  This was their first excursion out into the yard, they had a ball.  I have tons of photos and will update more as I have time to add them to the blog.

And here is the final batch of photos from today, enjoy.

Puppy news

More photos coming soon.

This handsome little man is the reason I haven't posted new photos.  Last Friday I woke up to find this little guy not feeling well at all.  Pushed away from nursing a couple times too many he was weakened and in need of lots of TLC.  A rush trip to the vets for fluids and then a week of extra care from me has him feeling a whole lot better, last night he rejoined his pushy siblings.
I haven't had a full nights sleep for some time, but now that he is feeling better, and I have all the pups started on solid food, I should be able to resume normal puppy photo cuteness.  Stayed tuned for lots of photos this weekend, you won't believe how much they have grown.
I will also be emailing out our Puppy Booklets in the next couple of days to everyone.

Look at all the changes

 It's been 7 days since I uploaded puppy photos and look at all the changes.  It always amazes me how fast they develop.  The eyes started opening towards the end of the weekend, still a couple not fully there yet, but, for the most part they are open.  They are starting to respond to sound, though neither sight or hearing is too developed at this stage.  Legs are being tried out, some more successfully then others.
This afternoon I will introduce to them their first supplemental meal of goats milk.  Not sure how much success we will have at getting the liquid inside them, something tells me they will be wearing most of it.  Wish us luck and enjoy the photos until later.  If the weather is good this weekend I may sit them out in the warm sun for a little bit and try for some nice photos.  Have a great weekend everyone!

 After almost 20 years of using our own nursery boxes I caved in and purchased the DuraWhelp by Breeder Base.  I have to admit I love it, light weight, roomy and a breeze to keep clean.  I also love that when I am finished with it the whole thing breaks back down and I can flat pack it into the shipping box and store under the bed.
