K & M Golden Retrievers

🐾 ONE WEEK OLD UPDATE ON THE ROYAL LITTER! 🐾 Our precious little royal princes and princesses have officially hit their one-week milestone! 👑✨ Amazing progress this week: • They’ve almost all DOUBLED their birth weight - growing strong! 💪 • Successfully completed their first nail trim (tiny but mighty claws!) 💅 • Been receiving their ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) protocols since day 3 🧠 • Starting to explore and move around the whelping box more, though still at that adorable slow-motion puppy pace 🐌💕 Watching these little ones develop day by day never gets old. Each milestone reminds us why we love what we do!

Our little royals are not even a week old and already ruling our hearts! 👑🐾 These tiny bundles of fur are absolutely too cute for words. Their sweet little squeaks and grunts create the most precious puppy symphony - each sound seems to say “Where’s mama?” or “This milk bar better be open 24/7!” And oh my goodness, their uncoordinated wiggling is pure entertainment! Watching them army-crawl around with such determination, I can practically hear their thoughts: Little Prince George: “I WILL reach that warm spot even if my legs have no idea what they’re doing!” Princess Isabella: “Why does everything feel so BIG? And why can’t I control these flippers attached to my body?” Prince Edward: “I meant to do that… definitely meant to tumble over my sibling like that…” Princess Anastasia: “There HAS to be a snack bar around here somewhere. Following this delicious scent…” Their tiny pink noses twitching, little paws padding nowhere in particular, and the way they pile up together in the coziest puppy puddles - every moment with them is magical. They’re writing the sweetest first chapter of their lives, one adorable stumble at a time. Being their royal subjects has never felt so wonderful! 💕

👑 ROYAL UPDATE 👑 Our little princes and princesses are thriving! These precious babies are happy, healthy, and gaining weight like absolute champs. The milk bar is ever flowing, and they clearly love spending their time there - you can tell they’re getting all the nourishment they need! Mom is doing absolutely amazing and takes such incredible care of her little ones. She’s such a devoted mama, and it shows in how well her babies are doing. We’re excited to share that the puppies have begun their ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) programs, and they are doing so well with both! These early development programs will help give them the best possible start in life. Stay tuned for more updates as these little ones continue to grow and develop. We can’t wait to share more of their journey with you all!

The Calm Before the Beautiful Storm 🐾 Our whelping suite is officially ready and Athena has settled right in! At this stage, she’s wonderfully large and spending most of her time in peaceful slumber - the last bit of deep rest before the restless phase begins and sleep becomes a distant memory for all of us. Any day now, we’ll be welcoming her precious little ones into the world, and the excitement is almost overwhelming! For now, we’re cherishing these quiet moments and marveling at how she’s chosen to forgo her cozy whelping box in favor of the cool floor to keep that big belly comfortable. The anticipation is building, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for what’s to come. Soon our home will be filled with the sweetest sounds of tiny paws and gentle whimpers. Until then, we’re letting mama rest and preparing our hearts for the incredible journey ahead. Sweet dreams, Athena - rest up while you can! 💤

Puppy “Help” with Fence Repairs Mike thought he had a simple morning project: moving the bottom rail of the fence down a few inches to eliminate the gap where the smallest puppies kept escaping. What he didn’t count on was his enthusiastic team of four-legged “assistants” who were absolutely certain he couldn’t possibly manage without them. The moment Mike grabbed his drill and started working on the rail, the entire pack of puppies sprang into action. Clearly, this was the most exciting thing to happen all week, and they weren’t about to miss out. As Mike worked to reposition the rail, three puppies immediately began their own “repair” project, digging enthusiastically at the base of the fence posts while one particularly helpful pup grabbed his measuring tape and took off across the yard, trailing it behind him like the world’s most adorable surveyor. Every time Mike knelt down to position the rail at its new height, at least two puppies would squeeze themselves directly into his workspace, convinced this was obviously the perfect spot for a group huddle. The puppy appointed as “Tool Inspector” made sure to thoroughly investigate his hammer by trying to carry it off, while another decided his work gloves were clearly meant to be tug-of-war toys. When Mike finally got the first section of rail repositioned and started on the next, the puppies celebrated this progress by immediately testing the “repair” - trying to squeeze under the fence exactly where he was still working. Getting them out of the way required treats, gentle shooing, and what can only be described as a continuous game of puppy herding while trying to hold a fence rail in place. Two hours, countless muddy paw prints, and one completely exhausted human later, the bottom rail was finally secured at its new height. The puppies, satisfied with a job well done, promptly tested the fence by running the perimeter - and staying safely inside. Mike looked at his newly escape-proofed play yard, covered in dirt and dog hair, and couldn’t help but smile. Sure, it took three times longer than planned, but he’d never had such enthusiastic project supervisors before.
