Puppies "For Sale" Update

We just started advertising our puppies for sale and have had a lot of interest.
As of today (April 30) 4 of the 5 females have new homes and another couple is considering having the 5th.
We have 4 boys who we are looking for homes for. Already this coming week there are three people who will visit with the pups and us to see if they will take one of them.

Puppies - One Month Today

The puppies were born on March 29th, exactly a month ago. We are beginning to wean them, they are romping around in the grass, and are becoming cuter by the minute!


Two of the boys wrestling - puppy style!
Line them up, get 'em eatin'

Puppies, Day 29: Eat Up!

The puppies started to eat from bowls yesterday, right at 4 weeks of age. They took right to it, much to our delight and to the relief of Bailey! We now begin the weaning process, and helping Bailey get back to "normal" after being the mother of 9 puppies!

Puppies - 4 Weeks Old

The puppies will be 4 weeks old tonight. We are half way to the time when the pups will go to new homes! Today we begin the weaning process as the puppies have their first taste of puppy formula!
     Here's some pictures from the past day:

with a certain white chubby little girl!

Pile a Puppies!

I came back from a trip yesterday and went straight to the baseball diamond to umpire two games. Finally last night I was able to spend some time with the puppies (Day 24, by the way).
     There's nothing quite like laying down in the whelping box with 9 puppies climbing all over you!
(Our older dog, Angel, is outside the box in the photo wondering what the heck I am doing! She's a skeptical old lady at this point in her life)

Puppies @ 3 Weeks

The puppies are seeing, hearing, and walking well now. This is the beginning of the "Cute phase" of puppyhood! They are a lot of work and a lot of fun! Here's some photos of the pups at 3 weeks old:

Puppies Day 12 - Eye Opening!

The puppies began opening their eyes yesterday (Day 11). This little boy's eyes both opened today. That's my friend Troy who was visiting us the past day. He seems unconvinced by the situation!

Puppies - Day 8-ish

Our kids are "grown ups" now. But like everyone, their inner child comes out around the puppies! (Carly visited for a long weekend over Passover-Easter and got to see the puppies for the first time)

Community, Puppy Style

Puppies have absolutely NO boundaries, with each other as well as with their mother. We spend part of the day getting Bailey away from her pups and eating and drinking enough so the puppies don't kill her by nursing all the time!
       When they are not nursing they are doing this - I call it, "community, puppy style."

Puppies - Day 3

Bailey is a very good mother. We have to pay attention to her more than to the puppies, so that she has enough food and drinks enough water to provide the non-stop nutrition they need.
This picture is the epitome of "cozy!" Check out the pup under Bailey's ear!
