Happy 8 weeks! We started with a -15° morning, and the gusting winds. It kind of hit the 8 week old mark perfectly – rock n’ roll! The puppies had their first Health Exam – My veterinarian came to my home for two hours, observed the puppies together with their group dynamics, and then examined…

DAY #52 & #53
The puppies are now running, striding out, using their left side separate from their right side, and gaining more puppy coordination. They are still tumblers for sure, but more and more coordination to be sure. Their eyesight is slightly better as well, I saw two puppies tracking leaves across the yard, and one watching morning…
DAY 50 & 51
We have started the recall game. The most important thing you can ever do. To teach new puppies that coming to humans is the best thing ever – they can trust, feel safe, and be in an environment that is better than all of the other options. Kind and considerate hands and handling. More visitors…

Seven weeks old today! All of the puppies ears are starting to move around and show different ear set styles. Usually by 5 months of age it is the permanent ear set, but until them, they will be moving, changing, tipping, pricking, folding, or hound dogging it for awhile. SEVEN WEEKS is the day to…

DAY #63 – SNOW MORNING
Our two playground players, who invented all of the best games for everyone, went to their new homes yesterday, and it left Massimo, Pork Chop, and Mama Beetz at a bit of a loss. We had a very off night, edgy, and unsettled. Rhumb wanted into their romper room at about 4:30am this morning just…
DAY #61- #62 – photos and owner’s puppy bags
Each of our puppy owners will go home with a starter bag of everything I use for the puppies, plus my DIY raw food mix, frozen in patties that should last for the first 4-6 days during transition time. My gift to both the new owners, and the little Sexy Beasts I love so much….
DAY #60 – life in motion
We have been chasing sunshine around our yard all morning, literally. Just when it feels warm enough, and awesome enough, a cloud will come in, the temperature drops, and droplets of rain here and there, and then patches of sun come through again. Not a bad game for puppies in the yard who are learning…
DAY #58 – because it all happens so quickly
Okay time is going by way to quickly. We are just hitting our stride with a good routine, and the puppies are coming into their own and seem to live by the postal service creed “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers Sexy Beasts from the swift completion of their…
