The puppies all ate their first puppy mush this evening. They had gotten all poopy prior to that, so I let them get messy in the food. They all got a bath, their butts cleaned up, and dried. Then went into a clean enclosure with a heater going. I think I wore them out!



Benny and Millie's litter

Leslie N.
This boy is almost ready to go home and he is quite the character. Singletons can be challenging, but he has been a good boy.



Benny and Maple's litter

This little guy was 3 weeks old on Sunday. He is in growing mode. Ears are open now so he is responding to sound. I love watching the stages!

Little Solo is 2 weeks old today and it was time for his photo shoot! I was hoping his eyes would be open, but it just didn’t happen. That’s okay—sometimes it isn’t at exactly 2 weeks. He also was wormed today. He is still charting 4 1/2-5 pounds. I don’t ever guarantee weight, but he is trending small.








Benny and Maple's litter

People ask if there are challenges with a singleton, and the answer is yes. You have to be much more active with socialization with a singleton from the very start. Little Solo has “littermates” I have made from socks filled with rice. They simulate having littermates next to him, or on top of him.

Summer is here! Solo is now 1 week old.

Sweet girl, but comes to you on her terms. Typical of a red, she is a little leggy.

Choosing a responsible and *actually* ethical breeder these days is a tough job. Finding the right mix of care for their breeding dogs, care and socialization for their puppies, and customer service plus affordability was daunting. Our family was lucky indeed to come across that perfect mix with Leslie. Solo now Zephyr, came to us happily and was already accustomed to having safe space where he entertained himself in a pen, making transition to naps and sleeping in a crate no problem at all. Upon pickup, it was clear to see that the pups were raised in the home in clean environments where they were exposed to daily household sensory experiences including kids and animals. Leslie was great at communicating through the long process from deposit to pickup while talking through any concerns I had (as well as general puppy anxieties) and I am super happy that I chose to work with her.
