Bittersweet day. The puppies are 8 weeks old and are all happy, healthy chubby puppies. We have seen them on the x-ray, counted the days until their birthday of April 14. Anxiously waited for each one of them to be born.
Order of birth:
Henry at 9:42 am weighing 1lb 1oz
Mack at 10:35 am weighing 1lb 1.7oz
Oslo at 12:17pm weighing 1lb 2.9 oz
Jacquouille at 1:12 pm weighing 1lb 1oz
Milla at 1:31 pm weighing 1lb 1/2 oz
We sat and watched them nurse and sleep. We watched their eyes and ears open at around 2 weeks old. Cuddled, worried and took pictures of them daily. We saw their firsts steps, runs, growls, barks, teeth (oh those sharp teeth), eating puppy chow, baths, nail clipping and grooming. It was our privilege and pure joy getting to be apart of these puppies first moments on earth. They all have wonderful homes they are going to.
We know they will have wonderful lives and be loved just as much as we love them. So today is bittersweet that they start going to their furever homes because we will miss them so. (We encourage and love updates from their new homes). Today is also a very proud day, we have raised beautiful puppies and they will get to live their best lives with their new families.
After all of that, here is the last video of all 5 together. Oslo goes to his new home today, joining Denver, his brother from a previous litter.
Almost 8 wks old. Hard to believe.
Guess I didn't post the am video. Sorry about that.
One more for today. We did some more harness walking today, they didn't mind as much as first time. Was not able to get pics of that, will try tomorrow
A little chilly this morning but that means no black flies. Always a plus.
Good rainy morning from the pups
