We're starting firework desensitization today. They aren't impressed but also none of them are even remotely bothered.
Also, they got small crates added to their space a few days ago. As you can see it is their preferred sleeping place.

We had our 1st car ride yesterday! Everyone did great. The puppies will have at least 1, if not 2, car rides every week until they join their new families.

Play time is our favorite time! The puppies got their slide and a 4 way tunnel this past week. Everyone is loving running through the tunnel, jumping on the sides of the tunnel, and conquering the slide. Play time is hard work and there's always at least one puppy that loves to nap on the slide.

The puppies met Hei Hei yesterday as part of their curriculum. As you can see, he makes a lot of noise and has sudden movements. Everyone reacted better than expected. Most were curious and walked over to see what the ruckus was about and a couple just sat down and watched before going about their playtime.

1st time having puppy mush! Everyone participated without hesitation. Some more than others. Lol. Everyone stayed pretty clean. No puppies walked through, completely stood in, or rolled in the mush like some of the puppies from our previous litter. To be honest, this was the cleanest and most successful introduction to mush that we have ever had from any of our litters! There wasn't much for Annie to clean up when they were done. These puppies just keep impressing me and exceeding my expectations. ❤️

Last week was a big transition werk for the "Alice in Wonderland" litter! The got moved out of my bedroom and into to the living room. With this came double the space, potty pads, a tactile sensory mat, and introduction to their water dishes. Everyone settled in quite nicely. Annie also appreciates the extra space as it's less cramped at feeding times. The puppies are doing awesome with using the dedicated sleeping area and only going to the bathroom on the potty pads! Next week we will introduce grass pads to their area.

Big day for the "Alice in Wonderland" pups! Everyone got upgraded to big kid collars and they got a remodel of their space. Now that they're bigger and more mobile, we have added potty pads and a designated sleeping area. It's only been an hour since we revamped their space and it's great to see that they are already using the potty pads!

The "Alice in Wonderland" litter is doing incredible! Everyone is gaining weight nicely, starting to walk, finding their voices, and eyes are starting to open. This past week they all gor their 1st nail trims. We are half way through their Early Nueroligical Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction. Personalities are starting to show and we are so excited to continue to watch them grow!

Goldendoodle
About Annie
Meet Annie (aka Anners Bananers aka Muppet)!
Annie is a standard size (60ish pounds), multigen goldendoodle. We brought Annie into our family back in November 2023, and life has never been the same. It's funny how you don't know what you've been missing until it shows up in your life! Annie fit into our home, our family, and with our dogs the minute we brought her home. She is the happiest, goofiest, silliest, and possibly clumsiest dog we have....by miles. Life with Annie is like living with a real-life Muppet. Her personality is larger than life, and her antics keep everyone laughing. She is always happy to see us and never stops wagging her tail (which she does with her whole body). This girl is down to snuggle for hours and is often caught watching the TV with the kids. She gets along with everyone, humans and dogs alike, and it's impossible not to fall in love with her once you meet her! ❤️
