Meet the Puppies! Individual pics and info about each pup.

Update on Thursday, April 19: Just a week until puppies start going to their new homes!  They are doing great!  We've been taking them out of the kennel a lot to play on our large deck (and they can come into the kitchen area). They love the freedom and romp around all over!  We are starting to transition from all softened food to where they get some dry kibble too. Tomorrow all the pups are going to Cherry Park Elementary in the David Douglas District where they will be the stars in a puppy play room! Then next Tuesday and Wednesday they are going to George Fox University where they have a tradition of having a puppy play room during finals week.  Should be a fun adventure moving all these puppies! Final news: they go to the vet Saturday morning for their first round of shots and another wellness check. Also, we continue updating their weights here and they all are showing steady growth (and one has topped 10 lbs now!).

Update on Saturday, April 14: All the puppies have now been chosen by their new families and most will go home between April 25 and 28!

6 Week Old Puppy Update on April 11.  Now the first pic for each one is their 6-week-old photo. People will begin choosing their puppies too.  As that happens, I will update the records to show if a puppy is taken or available (and perhaps share their new name too).

Updated on April 7 with pics at about five and a half weeks old! So, first pic of each puppy is at 38 days old and the pic below that is a week earlier at 31 days.

Now that they are over four weeks old, it's time to show each separate puppy! They are starting to show individual character in their color and coat, in their face shape, size, and somewhat in their demeanor.  We have a name we use for each puppy, but of course their forever families will have their own name for their puppy.  Also, this post will be updated with more info and pictures over the next few weeks.  As a puppy is chosen, we will indicate that too.

Puppy Love Pics! 26 Days Old

Puppy Love Pics from Lani. As you can see, they are getting bigger -- and more fun -- every day! 10 out of 11 are now reserved -- so if you were thinking about getting one, better act fast! 

We've been having fun with them as we are home this week for spring break.  Some of our friends went to Palm Springs for the break, so we decided we are having "Puppy Springs" here for the break.  It's a toasty 78-80 degrees here (the perfect puppy temp for their early weeks) so we can hang out in our shorts and t-shirts too!

For those following along about their development and health -- they got their first de-worming a couple of days ago and will do this again in two weeks (and have their first shots about that time too).  We started supplementing all of them with goat's milk and they absolutely love it!  Friends at an all-natural pet foods store suggested that this is much better than the cow milk based products that we've gotten in the past at other pet stores.  In just a couple more days they will be four weeks old and we'll start putting out dishes of liquid and food for them to transition to.  And also at four weeks should be a good time to do a feature on each individual puppy.  Stay tuned!

National Puppy Day pics and video!

Our puppies are now a couple of days over three weeks old and yesterday on "National Puppy Day" we took some pics and video.  They are starting to play with each other and move around quite a bit.  They do respond now to some sounds and will follow you with their head if you walk by (although I suspect they are still not seeing clearly, but that will come).   Also you can see their coat colors starting to show more; you can see more variation in some of the lighter colored ones. Another thing you can see now is that they are all wearing a different color of velcro color. This makes it easier to keep track of who's who!

Also, we now have received deposits/reservations for ten of our eleven puppies. So. . . if you were thinking about getting one, don't wait any longer!  And we're home all this next week -- the lives of teachers on spring break -- so it's a great time to come visit!

Sleeping in their usual puppy pile!

Then awake to nurse. Kitchen's open!

Now a little play time. . .

They like to wrestle and paw each other.

And sometimes a little playful biting is in order too!

Here's a little video of them walking around and playing a bit.

Puppy Pics and Video - 17 Days Old Now!

Here is a short video of the puppies when they're seventeen days old.

And here are a bunch of pics!  You can see how much they have grown the last few days.  And they are starting to move around a lot more. Eyes are all open, but they can't really focus well yet.  Ears aren't really open, but a few seem to react to some loud sounds like when Molly or Jasmine bark.
