Litter and program updates

Litter update on 03 Apr •Babies saw our favorite vet today…everyone checked out beautifully!
Sam and Annie-Lou's litter
Carrie W.
Litter update on 30 Mar •…Selections have officially started. Be on the lookout for pics and video, with descriptions of each puppy, as I get to your pick in line. Each family will get 24 hrs to make their selections. I will also be looking at the schedule for next week and send out dates/times for meet ups. Thanks for everyone being so patient as I navigate the recent loss of my father as well. His service is 4/11/26 and I have family flying in the Friday before, so am needing all to be heading to new homes prior to that weekend (11/12th).

Litter update on 22 Mar •…I appreciate all your patience as I navigate this tough road with my dad and his losing battle to cancer. He is on hospice and I’m not sure how much time we have left with him. It’s been quite the juggle while trying to get the older European litter ready to head out on new adventures too, manage my family at home, be here with my dad, work from home, etc. I was able to get updated pics of the babies after their bath time…they are 6 weeks today and all are growing so well! They are happy nuggets, and are constantly wagging their tails. Some love snuggles more, while others love playtime. They will get their first 3 day round of dewormer starting this evening. I was able to get go home canvas tote bags done for both litters as well, so slowly but surely, we are getting closer to them being ready.

Verified owner · Sept. 2023
Tater turns 12 weeks old tomorrow. He had his first day of puppy kindergarten yesterday and all the staff were making time to come cuddle him and commenting on how well he is crate and potty trained. Carrie clearly took time socializing the puppies while working on crate training, meeting different people, loving car rides, and gave us a head start on potty training. Carrie’s behavioral assessments were extremely accurate. After discussing my family’s goals for a new family member, Carrie helped us choose the perfect snuggle monster.
