Today we celebrate the second Birthday of the #fivestarlitter (Poppy x Shep) September 10, 2022. Here they are are 5 days old, volume up ⬆️!
Stay tuned to see Finn, Sadie, Scout, Torra Rose and Teddy today!
Poppy is such a wonderful mum, very nurturing and protective of her puppies. I know not to stress her out by not allowing the other dogs near her pups (even Reggie the Dad). I also limit the number of people who can see, let alone touch them in the early days. It has been shown that stress of a mother can be passed on to the puppies in these first few weeks.
It’s my job to ensure these pups have the best start to life they can. I don’t place them on foreign blankets or hold them up and take pictures of them…it’s really unnecessary…what they look like in their first few weeks is only a glimpse of what they will become.
Here’s a quick video of them (volume up) they are starting to fill out and are starting to move around very well . It’s neat to see them move on and off the heating pads as they learn to regulate their body temperature.
Poppy is panting here, not because she is stressed, rather the opposite, she just came in from some wonderful exercise in the sun…good for her body and soul.
Look at Mr Grey and how eager he is to learn new skills!!
Aquaman showing off his recall. This pup is so chill it's amazing, he'd be a great buddy for someone who wants to take their dog everywhere with them in their truck!
