Week 7 Day 7

This has been a really fun week for the puppies. The weather has been warm so they have been able to go outside for many hours at a time. They spent all of yesterday afternoon outside. This morning, they were desperate to get outside and continue their explorations and play.  Of course, they found some mud and became mud puppies!  It is so cute to see them rolling and romping outside.  I am having difficulty posting video. It shows that they have uploaded but not queued--so I will redo this later today if the videos don't show up.

Here are the personality test results from Week 5 Day 4. The puppies are fairly similar and differences very minor. The testing is consistent with other litters except they are more conditioned to being in awkward positions.

Personality Test

5 Weeks 5 Days

Our first adoptions have taken place. It is always one of my favorite times when families come in and enjoy the puppies and their parents.  This group continues to have fantastic personalities and you will see that they are very beautiful with rich, full coats.  They are much more active (evident in the two videos right below) and love to play with me. They are beginning to show some of their personality in the videos. They are all sweet and love me, but some are more apt to sit on my lap while others want to play tug-of-war with me. Beautiful, fantastic puppies! Enjoy!

Arthur is a well rounded puppy that both enjoys being held and playing. He has the fluffiest fur of this group.

4 Weeks 5 Days

The puppies are continuing to grow and mature. They are much more active now and love to play.  It has been fun to see how quickly they fell in love with me when I started their second round of training. Kira continues to love being with her puppies.  You will see that they have become very beautiful this week and they are obviously very smart too.

3 Weeks 5 Days

The puppies are walking around and exploring now. They have begun the second phase of our training where we prepare them for what they may encounter in their new homes. We do 6 specific actions with them: 1) pull their tales 2) rub their fur back and forth 3) pull their ears 4) hold their mouths shut for a couple of seconds 5) swab the inside of their mouths with my finger 6) gently pinch between their feet. After each event, I give them a pinch of yogurt as a treat. It is amazing to see what happens as a result of this.  On the very first day that I did it, the puppies went from indifferent to my presence (mother was everything) to surrounding me. They love the training (and the treats) and that helps them to accept all of these actions. 

I do not have individual comments yet, since they just received their names today. As a group, they are large, active, sweet and fun.  They seem like they will have lots of personality (sometimes this is not true until week five).  Enjoy the individual pictures!

Here is a fun story my wife told me about Kira: I had let her outside in the morning and put the timer on to let her in an hour later. My wife went outside to do chores. We have known that Kira is a good mother--she is incredibly intelligent in how she has been caring for her puppies. This time, Kira showed us that she is also very smart and knows how to tell us what she wants in a very polite manner.  First, she came up to Judy and whisper talked to her to get her attention. Then, she did a couple circles, went 10 feet and laid down.  After Judy talked with her, petted her, and played with her, she went 10 more feet and laid down.  She kept doing this all of the way until she led Judy to the door that leads to her puppies--pausing to make sure Judy did not go in the wrong door.  She gave Judy a big thank you when she let her in with her puppies!  It was so sweet!

2 Week 4 Days

The puppies had their last round of neurological stimulation today--a  couple of days longer than I normally do it because my schedule has been so crazy that I lost track of what day they were on. They are all growing really well and are large and active. They have begun to eat solid food and Kira is now spending over an hour away from them, several times a day. They all seem to be big and blocky with wavy coats--though it is a little early to know how full their coats will be. You will see from their pictures, that they are becoming really cute!

1 Week 2 Days

Kira continues to be fantastic as a mother. Her puppies are all growing and doing well and she is an incredibly attentive mother--which makes my job very easy.  They have had their dew claws removed at day 4 and are getting their neurological stimulation. They seem to be an active group and are getting accustomed to being held in all of the odd positions. Kira watches patiently as I do all of this--it is really fantastic to see how much trust she has in me!  Their faces and paws have changed from pink to black and as you will see in the pictures, they are beautiful. 

Day 2

Kira is an amazing mother. She is nursing well and always is aware of where her puppies are.  All six puppies are evenly sized and fairly large. She is really sweet and loves all the extra attention.  

Day 1

Puppies are born! All six of them are doing absolutely great and so is Kira. They are a nice size and already nursing like craze and getting plump! Kira is a wonderful mother so far and had them cleaned and dry so quickly!
