Happy National Puppy Day! Warning: This video contains excessive cuteness, wiggly tails, and zero self-control. Proceed with smiles. 🐾💛

Hi everyone! I know you’re all waiting on this week’s puppy update—pictures are coming soon - I promise 😊 In the meantime, I had to share that the babies are already getting the sweetest early socialization from their big sister, Greta the Great (GG). She takes her job very seriously and keeps a close, gentle eye on them. We couldn’t ask for a better little helper 💕

I know I just sent an update yesterday, but I couldn’t let this milestone pass us by without sharing the news…Daffodil looked around and was so calm as I was trimming her nails….just soaking it all in!!! 🌼 Daffodil Update 🌼 We had our very first “eyes open” milestone this week! Sweet Daffodil was the first puppy in the litter to open her eyes and start taking little peeks at the world around her. At this stage their vision is still quite blurry, but it’s always a special moment when those tiny eyes begin to open. Over the next several days the rest of the puppies will follow, and their little personalities will start to shine even more. Daffodil has been calm and content, soaking up the snuggles and continuing to grow beautifully. We love watching these early milestones as the puppies begin their journey through the Puppy Culture program. More updates coming soon as the whole crew starts to join Daffodil in seeing the world for the first time! 🐾

Week One Update – JoB & the Puppies 🐾 JoB has settled beautifully into motherhood and is doing a wonderful job caring for her babies. The puppies are nursing well and gaining weight each day, which is exactly what we hope to see during this first week of life. We began Puppy Culture early neurological stimulation on day three, introducing the puppies to gentle developmental exercises that help support neurological growth and resilience as they mature. We also weigh each puppy daily to monitor growth and ensure everyone is thriving. You can see their steady progress in the growth chart — exactly the kind of consistent gains we like to see during the newborn stage. If you look closely at the photo, you may notice the blankets look a little… “customized.” JoB firmly believes the nursery should be arranged her way, not mine. I smooth everything out, and she happily redecorates to create the coziest puppy nest possible. For now, life in the whelping box is a warm little pile of sleepy puppies and one very proud mama. 💛

🐝 Honeybee Spring Litter – 3 Day Update 🌼 Our tiny little Honeybees are now 3 days old, and they are doing wonderfully! These early days are all about snuggling, nursing, sleeping, and bonding with Mama JoB, who is doing an amazing job caring for her babies. We’re keeping things very calm and cozy in the whelping box so JoB and the puppies can settle into their rhythm together. Starting today, we also begin the first gentle Puppy Culture exercises, introducing the puppies to small early experiences that help build confidence as they grow. I’ve taken a few group photos of the whole buzzing little crew, but individual puppy introductions will come soon once everyone is a little bigger and stronger. For now, these sweet little Honeybees are mostly a pile of warm sleepy puppies with full milk bellies. 🐶💛 More updates soon! 🐝

JoB and I are having a serious debate. Will all y’all help break the tie here? First, my idea of nesting and getting the den ready for puppies. Note how neat and tidy, correct? On the right, Mama Dog JoB’s idea of a ready den. She goes back in and “redecorates” every time I get ready as shown on the left. Which looks more suitable to you? Note: We are all beyond excited!! 😅😂🙄🐶🐾 #puppywatch #passingtime #nesting

Greta the Great aka Little Bits aka GG just heard the news that she will not be the youngest for much longer. Our next litter is due on March 1! We are thrilled and excited to meet the JoB and Rocco litter. Please reach out for information.
