It’s a baby Vader! A Facebook memory popped up today from NINE years ago and it was this little cutie, just after she arrived.

She’s added a bit more colour since then but still adorable as ever and the light of my life ❤️.

The update for anyone wondering how Vickie’s rock/treshur collection is coming along, it’s grown and she’s added a sculpture titled ‘Ode to Pipsqueak’. Previous collection photo at the end for comparison.

Her works will be showcased amongst incredible talent in the cats and dogs exhibit currently being held at the National Gallery of Victoria over the coming months.

Vickie, showing you the many rock treshurs she has found and brought us over the last week. If you’ve been looking for a treasure hunting rock aficionado…we might have just the thing 🤣

We stopped off for a little stroll at the Surrey Park Model Boat Club today. Lovely little place, lots of tracks and sporting fields and birds galore. Loads of cool backdrops for pics as well…these ones are pre walk and post walk, hence the giant tongues 🤣

Schooner was our third kiddo to leave, our little rotund puppy (there’s always one 🤣) he’ll now be known as Kygo.

Registered name Ehana Fire It Up (AI)

Kygo is staying in Melbourne and heads off to live with his big bro/nephew Avicii…dog family trees are always amusing. Tiko, Kygos dad was collected by Armahani Lapphunds and subsequently sired a litter around a decade ago here in Aus. His daughter Flicka, is not only Kygos half sister, but also Avicii’s mum! Kygo will be hitting the show ring and trying his paw at all sorts of cool things and living it up with Avicii, following in his handsome paw steps, so you’re bound to see him around the traps!

Little Stella was our second Frothie to take off, heading home with the most amazing family you could ever ask for. Her new name is Elske, aka Ellie.

Registered name Ehana Fairytale of New York (AI)

Staying in Melbourne and joining a first time lappie family, she is fast on her way to becoming the best fluffy friend to her little human brother. It makes my heart sing seeing how well she’s just slotted in ❤️. She’s already showcasing her smarts like the little angel she is and drawing in crowds of paparazzi…if you want to become an overnight celebrity, you can’t go past a baby a lappie!

✨Crate training✨
Why do we do it? What are the benefits?

There are a million reasons why I think it’s an important element for any puppy, and has an upcoming episode on this very topic, but today proved a perfect example of one reason…the unexpected.

Today I went on an adventure with all 4 dogs, and whilst on my way home ended up mere centimetres from being completely totalled in a nasty car crash.

I threw the my hazard lights on and raced over, with another onlooker to make sure everyone was ok and assess the situation. We ended up spending about an hour at the scene, waiting for emergency services to arrive and providing statements.

The car in front of me, and the one who cut across the intersection were complete write offs. Luckily no on had any significant injuries and the people involved walked away.

My adults were in the back of the car, and Vickie was in the front in a crate. They didn’t understand what all the commotion was about, but they’re no strangers to relaxing in confinement. Vickie was asleep every time I came back to check on them, picture attached.

I definitely didn’t imagine that’s how I’d be spending the afternoon, but I’m glad I put the effort in to crate training which allowed her the ability to relax, whilst parked on the side of a busy highway during peak hour Melbourne traffic!

Little coops was our first Frothie to head off in to the big bad world. He’s now known as Parker

Registered name Ehana Far From Home (AI)

Parker has joined his mum Valkyrie, and big “bro’s” Thor and Finn where he’ll have all kinds of adventures, bringing joyful chaos and hilarity to everything he puts his paw to. You’ll no doubt see him at sporting events and shows and seminars and if he’s lucky, maybe even featuring in some modelling work like his mumma bear. He’s already well and truely hit the ground running!

Today we said farewell to our 4th little Frothie, Goldie.
She’ll now be known as Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum, aka p-bubs, PB, Bonnie, Peebs…and whatever other amusing nicknames we can come up with.

Registered name Ehana Famous Last Words (AI)* pending Dogs Vic approval.

She’ll be staying in Vic and going to live with her Aunty Marceline, and her cousin Azula and will likely join us in various dog shenanigans and adventures.

What goes in our take home packs?

Well, it’s different each litter depending on what we can find/have on hand, things that are on special or things we think will benefit the pups. I tend try and focus on food and functional things and leave the fun things up to owners.

Our folder - full of relevant health and ID documents, birth records and schedules.

Some Kong toys to help get started.

Chews/Treats - I find good chews to sometimes be a difficult thing for people to source, or not even know they exist and where to find them! They are super handy for crate training and those razor sharp teeth.

Food - We feed fresh/raw, so like to send puppies home with a variety that they’ve been eating ( , , , bones and sardines as well as homemade) in a little cooler bag.
This time around we’ve also included some and ziwi.

Frozen bottle (if you know, you know 🤣)

Toothbrush, pet piller and collar.

P**p bags and clicker.
ceuticals gut protect - I freaking love this stuff, especially knowing the stress pups little bodies are under with all the changes, if we can help keep their digestion calm, that’s a big tick in my book.

Slicker brush - new inclusion, we found them for a steal in Boxing Day sales!

Vet Bed

- an awesome product you add to meat to make a complete meal, super easy!

A bag to use for dog related things…or as a handbag…whatever really. Mine is my daily handbag/grocery bag 🤣.

What things do you like or find important for bringing a pup home?

Week 7!

This will be our last week for a few of the little frothies as next week they start heading off on their new adventures!

I’m late posting pics but I did take them on Sat/Sun morning, it’s been a crazy week, lots of visitors, lots of outings, fireworks and some of the wildest weather I’ve experienced since living in Vic. These poor kids have only been earthside for 7 weeks and they’ve already experienced TWO heat waves 🤣.

Yesterday was vax, chips and eye checks. They were absolute troopers taking the hour car ride in to the apps, in pouring rain, with no dramas…being brave little souls for their needles and getting a tick of approval on their health checks. Then it was off on another car trip to their eye appointment, where they had fancy drops to dilate their pupils and a thorough exam getting the green tick, as well as getting loads of cuddles and attention from all the staff.

This will be the busiest week, as we prep for their departure with puppy packs and take home food/treat packs, inordinate amounts of printing/document creating (I’ve already run out of ink 🤣) and filing as well as the fun task of deciding on their fancy registered names. They’ll have their first baths, get some more crate practice in and a bit more work on lead as well as learning more about treats and how to follow a lure.

I’m really stoked with them all and whilst this wild weather has thrown their routine a little out of whack this week (resulting in some lovely 5am serenades thanks to Valkyrie waking them up 🙃🤣), they really have been the most pleasantly easy litter I’ve raised to date. We’re definitely feeling tired now, it’s been a lot of work but they are such happy, joyous little souls with charisma that makes you smile and I know they’ll steal the hearts of their new families just like their parents did before them.

Our backs just didn’t have a group shot in them this week, all that stepping over pens and bending takes it’s toll…we tried, we winced and the best we got were the hilarious pictures of everyone trying to escape the esky.

Enjoy and remember, Frothie responsibly 🍻

02/01/2025

Frothies had a little excursion today. They got put back together by our canine chiro after all their wild puppy shenanigans and everyone got a big tick for being structurally sound. Then we stopped off local for a coffee and some sight seeing. Everyone has promptly passed out after the big morning.

I’ve been a bit slack with photos mostly due to the computer taking sooooooo long to do anything 😅 but here we are, week 6 with the Frothies.

It’s been a SUPER BUSY couple of weeks with Christmas and everyone off work. We’ve had a bucketload of visitors which the pups have been eager participants of…much fawning, many a belly scratch but most importantly, shoes to monch on!

Food wise they have tried a bunch of new things and they’ve absolutely smashed it all! If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know by now that we don’t feed kibble and try to encourage people who do to add fresh food to their dogs diet. These guys have tried chicken, lamb, beef, pork, roo and duck through a variety of combinations…home made, commercial raw, air dried and freeze dried. Commercial foods they’ve tried are big dog, proudi, lyka, frontier, soul mate, ziwi, prime100 and k9 naturals. They’ve sampled some eggs, some fresh fruit/veg from our garden, chicken and duck necks as well as whole sardines for lunch today. Nay a loose stool in sight! They definitely aren’t fussy with food 🤣.

We’ve had a few pups go in to and come out of a fear phase, with Stella being the latest to come out the other side. Little Victoria seems to be heading in to one but doesn’t let that stop her doing Victoria things

We’ve expanded the outdoor ‘puppy run’ again, now adding a bunch of fun equipment to help with confidence building…tunnel, foam blocks to climb up, platforms, balance discs and some interactive toys that move and make unexpected noise. We had unexpected fireworks on Christmas Eve, which were perfectly timed as they started just as we put down their dinner! Lucky us. We’re prepping for New Year’s Eve tomorrow night to make it a good experience for the kiddos.

There’s been more nails and grooming practice, lots of screaming by Curtis and I through the Boxing Day test match (go the Aussies!!!) and this week we’ll start building up to their first car trip later in the week.

Enjoy and remember, Frothie responsibly 🍻

As well as being Christmas, it’s our little Vader Vays birthday! She’s always been of the opinion that all the hype this time of year is specifically for her, and don’t you ever doubt it bubba.

9 years young today, and doesn’t act a day over 6 months 🤣. She is the BEST dog you could ever ask for, she’s beyond adored by us and we love her 3000.

She’s a lover of food, so her birthday treatos involved a homemade ice cream sandwich, some doggo ‘rum balls’, a furry cows ear and a Christmas bon bon from Aunty Claudia. We’re about to head inside for some snuggles under the AC because it’s so damn hot and she’s currently about that fake baby life 🤣.

Here’s to another 70 million years sharing this earth with you bub ❤️❤️❤️

Spitz owners know the drill 🤣

Pipsqueak earlier this morning letting me know it was time to get up. At least she’s polite…though she has begun to scream yawn like Aunty Diaz 🤣

Just Vickie things

Today little Vickie got to catch up for an impromptu outing with her bro beans, Parker….and of course Claudia and I for coffee 🤣. They had an explore around Burwood Brickworks and got all kinds of amazing exposure! We tackled escalators, elevators, stairs, trolleys, prams and wheelie walkers, dogs of all shapes and sizes, a rooftop garden, automatic doors, weird sights smells and sounds from all the shops and businesses, cafes and restaurants…and so much more. The aim of the exposure game is to help your dog become neutral to every day things they might encounter, teach them it’s nothing to bother with…and these two smashed it out of the park. It’s not often you get to take doggos in to shops, so it’s always a place we enjoy visiting with pups.

When you know those grinch feet have to go
