Happy Thursday!! Feeling Blessed

My favorite name is serendipity - it comes from 1754 of horace walpole meaning an unexpected discovery by chance. It represents finding pleasent things while not looking for them. It leads to joy and gratitude.

This is so important to read ..New Puppy Owners!!

‼️To New Puppy Owners‼️
This is an excellent read! I didn't write it (but added to) it's completely true. Be sure to research your breed!!! Please read ❤️❤️

Realistic Expectations

You go to the breeders home. The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally outgoing or relaxed. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy WILL cry in the crate for the first few nights/weeks!! Absolutely making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends/family you invited over to see your new puppy. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Different environments, animals, smells, sounds,temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least!!!

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.THEY EXPERIENCE FEAR PERIODS!!

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks(or more) to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS OR MORE!!! Not 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing/over excitement or grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine!!!
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house‼️This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch/learn them
- don’t expect a 9-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. Seek professional training !!! This not only helps TEACH YOU but strengthens your bond and teaches the puppy to look to you for direction and input
- lastly be patient & CONSISTENT !!! Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. SMART SOCIALIZATION !! Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly❤️

Please feel free to share!!

Well here is our little solo girl. She had a sister that was born first but the birthing was just too much for her body to handle. She lived maybe 4 hours. This girl was stuck for 45 min and I worked with all hands to get her out. Luckily momma knew I was helping and let me reach and work her out feathering around her pelvis. You have to do what you can.

She was born early Sunday morning. She has an endless supply of milk.

She is going to have a dark muzzle and mahoghany colors. She maybe staying here with us.

We are so blessed Momma and baby are doing good. I will post updates. And thank you to all our followers / friends for all the encouragement and words of support.

Some may ask why only two pups. When I did the ultrasound there was 7 sacs. Sometimes with this weather, heat ect they absorb. Luckily she had two or she may not have went into labor at all. She didn’t display the usually labor signs. She didn’t leak any fluid , swell up back in her rear either. She didn’t nest for days or really go off her food or sleep alot right before.

So here is our little blessing. Continue to watch her grow. I have a feeling she is going to be hefty girl.

Right now I am focusing on pushing her off mom when nursing like other puppies would be doing. Handling her a lot. Putting my hands down near her mouth while feeding. Holding while feeding. We will also be watching her weight and make sure she don’t develop swimmers syndrome. Bite inhibition and fear of over crowding is a main concern so we will very dedicated to working that early. If anyone has any suggestions I am open. This is only our second time. Our First one Martha May turned out very social with no behavioral issues.

Miss Hot Pink’s family unfortunately was a no show / no call since Friday. I am a very compassionate and understanding person. A simple text or phone call is just common courtesy. I gave ample time and even had confirmed read messages. Just Not the right home

So here she is!!
