Ancient Dogges Performance Dogs

The puppies had some new experiences last night! Lance never went up the stairs (but he regularly climbs up onto the patio from the yard, which is the same height as going up stairs, and he was too busy checking out the cat, so I don't think it had anything to do with it being stairs. Viper investigated the sprinkler, and even tried attacking it, but the rest of the puppies either didn't pay any attention to getting "rained on", or else noticed, took note of where the water stopped, and made intentional choices about being in the stream, or not in the stream. Everybody got quite wet, including us humans! And we tossed the bumper around a few times, and took note of everybody's reactions - Lance, King, Mouse, and Timber all absolutely already have fetch drive, the rest of the puppies either don't yet, or just don't in the group setting, we did NOT do individual introductions to fetch yet. That will happen in a few days. Everybody pretty much knows Sit, has a solid recall, and are learning lots of other good stuff as well! My computer is cooperating again, and I have meant to do an updated photoshoot this week, and keep on putting it off, because every time I grab a puppy to do a photoshoot, I get distracted, and just play, and do training. 👀👀👀 BUT I have something coming this weekend, specifically for a super cute photoshoot, so just keep having patience, I promise it'll be worth it with the adorable photo plans I have!

The puppies got a bath, and nail trim, and then hurried to the vet for their first vaccine, exam, and fecal (they were still wet from the bath, because I accidentally slept in a bit 👀👀👀)! They all passed their physical with flying colors, accepted getting temps taken, samples for fecals taken, and vaccines given with quiet, and stoic bravery, not even a flinch (except for Lance, who DID hunch up a bit about getting poop stolen right out of his body, but he still stayed quiet, and didn't even get whale eyes)! And their fecal was clear as well. They all got their first dose of Credelio Quattro today, and as stated above, their first vaccine in their puppy series. They sure have a huge range in weights though!!! Mouse - 5lbs Timber - 5lbs 6oz Widow - 5lbs 9oz Viper - 6lbs Cobra - 7lbs 6oz Cotton - 7lbs 12oz Mamba - 8lbs 3oz Lance - 8lbs 3oz Wolf - 9lbs King - 9lbs 9oz

While we were working on rearranging the nursery room, our Venomous Litter got to experience moving into another room, using a new kind of pen, and their first experience with disposable potty pads! Lots of new things! They loved it, and wore themselves out playing, and zooming around the little pen! 😂

I have no clue why my camera automatically switches to night mode/black and white after a certain time, rather than sensing how dark/light it is around, but 🤷🏼‍♀️ The puppies' toys and blankets are being washed at the moment, don't worry, they always have lots of toys, and blankets available. Lol! Anyway, our Venomous Litter got a nursery upgrade, and that means they now share a fence with the Mother's Day Litter, and all 15 puppies are LOVING playing through the fence! 😂

Still waiting on a few items to arrive, but goodie bags are beginning to come together! The snuggle puppies will continue to be used, don't worry, I just wanted to get a pic showing mostly what we already have for them (I forgot to grab their blankies out for the pic, oops). Each goodie bag is loaded with: A folder of records, information, and tips 2 dishes (food, and water) which are large enough to use both now, and when they are fully mature (you're obviously welcome to get different ones that you like better, but I like to include dishes so they can start using them here, and have one more familiar thing from here during their transition) A collar A leash Several toys A blankie A snuggle puppy with a heartbeat, and 4 heat packs 8 rolls of poop bags (more if I happen to have them on hand in your color) A zipper bag of the food they are used to A zipper pocket to hold small items A clicker A dose of Credelio Quattro in their size (Unless your puppy is staying extra weeks, in which case they will be dosed with the Credelio Quattro) A package of potty pads A package of teething chews Several packages of various training treats A package of Safeguard for their first deworming in their new home And a small travel kit including - A dose of anti-nausea medicine A roll of paper towels A small spray bottle of enzyme based cleaner A few individually wrapped pairs of disposable gloves And a small roll of trash bags And as a small gift to the puppies' new families, a pair of Charcoal Labrador Retriever earrings! If you do not wear earrings, you are welcome to gift them to a friend/family member who does.

Gotcha days are right around the corner, and we almost have everything gathered up for it now! Tomorrow we start putting bags together, and the snuggle puppy's, and blankies will be added at the last minute, since they will be used up until puppies go home (that way they have their scent from home on them, for added comfort while they transition).

Check out our monitoring camera's image showing how the puppies are now crying at the gate every 2 hours to go outside and relieve themselves, doing *most* of their "business" outdoors! When they don't make it outside, they use their potty pads every time! Little smarties! 💕 They have officially hit the point where they will now begin sleeping in their closed crates at night, and being let out once during the night. And as of this evening, they will be being fed all meals inside their closed crates as well.
