Needless to say...it melted my heart ...two of these pups left today and arrangements are in the works to get the last one home...

Our something new was provided courtesy of Mother Nature...SNOW...not much, but enough to say the pups got to play in the snow. I love the snow...and the puppies did too!! After breakfast they took off...to their favorite spot...the creek!!! They played for awhile and then let me know their toes were cold! So we headed home and finished our adventure inside...CARPET TIME...to play, dry off and warm up!!

Another big adventure with The Perfect Dozen...
They decided where to go this morning....I just followed and watched the magic of puppies!!
I didn't add music to the video...and it is a long one...sorry...not sorry...I wanted you to experience the adventure as close to what I see/hear. Other than an occasional whistle to call the pups back for a quick head count...it is just the sound of the leaves under 48 little paws...I love that sound!! ๐Ÿ˜Š I do talk to the pups ...just not on this video. We played in the creek bed for close to an hour...
I will post pictures later today...

The Perfect Dozen have reached the point in their journey when I, Mamashar, start feeling sentimental and... a little sappy. I start thinking about being with these babies, when they took their first breath, found their momma and nursed for the first time...all of those firsts we have experienced together and will continue to experience until the moment they leave.
They have reached the point where they lead the way...they no longer need me to guide them, they still look to me for reassurance and praise...but they are brave and confident and are becoming independent!! They will soon be meeting the people that will take over my job, of loving and guiding them...they will look to them, for praise and understanding!
We have amazing families that take these babies home to love! I am beyond thankful for that!!
During this last week...we go on as many adventures as we can, get as many cuddles as we can... cherish all of the moments.
This morning on our adventure we went to a spot along Mud Creek where we could walk down into the creek bed...it is mostly dry...with so many places to explore...the pups ran and played for close to an hour. I just stood and smiled thinking about how far they had come in just 7 weeks...I am proud of these little ones!! Just as their name says...they really are the Perfect Dozen...

It is the PERFECT day to be a puppy...almost 60ยฐ on December 30th...we took a long walk this afternoon...fresh air and sunshine!!!
The pups ran and played and explored. We walked to what was our little pond. We are about 13 inches behind on rain...so we played where the pond is supposed to be!! The puppies had a great adventure!! The Perfect Dozen are one week away from going home day!

Because I think it is so darn PERFECT!! Another puppy chow video...
Typically in the mornings...Jeff takes the pups on a walk, while I let the big dogs out and make puppy chow...then I bring the food out and call the pups for breakfast. This morning they were a long way away...but they still came running!! I don't think they could possibly be any cuter!! ๐Ÿ˜Š
After they eat...then we go on their big adventure...I will post more later from our morning adventure!!

When you are getting old...and the cold makes you feel sore...you get to spend the winter inside on the heated floor...We love these boys so very much!!

Our adventure to the big pond...In the summer...I hope that we will have some swimmers...this time of year I pray they stay dry....๐Ÿฅถ. They were curious about the water and a couple dipped their toes in and decided to go no further!! They did enjoy the walk and exploring!!
The Perfect Dozen are go getters...they ALL love to go and explore!! They are amazing little pups!!
I missed a lot of good shots on our adventure...my touch screen gloves don't work well and my voice activated shot has a delay...so when my fingers could take no more, I put the phone away! If anyone has gloves that the touch fingers actually work well...comment with the brand please!!

The Perfect Dozen are 6 weeks old...I don't know how time can go so fast!!
Our weather has been cold and rainy, the pups are having their adventures inside. They love carpet time!! They get to warm up and...get extra snuggles
They are spunky and fun and oh so sweet!! They are completely weaned and are eating their food whole ...no more gruel. We add water to the food, to help with hydration and to prevent choking. They do get to eat it dry occasionally...I spread it out on the carpet and they have to hunt and find it. It is a fun little game...they also LOVE playing with empty feed sacks. They love the sound it makes. Even though we are playing inside...they are still learnimg new things every day!! They go to see Dr. Patty tomorrow for their 6 week shots and exams...
Plans are being made for going home day...
We do have 2 males available...tell all of your friends!!
FYI...Girls are wearing pink collars boys are in blue.

The Perfect Dozen had a great adventure this morning...they are figuring out how to ALL get headed in the same direction...which makes adventures so much easier. They are learning to listen for my voice when they venture off and follow...they are getting out and away from me a little more every adventure. When we are heading home and get back to a familiar place...it is fun to see that they recognize where we are and they take off...toward home. They are getting more confident and are quickly becoming bold and brave
puppies!!

Yesterday we took a walk to the pond...Our little helper is on Winter break and spending sometime with Granny and Poppy and puppies. We loved having her on our adventure...we have missed her!!

These babies continue to surprise me...with a little coaxing we got them ALL out for a big adventure!!
We made it to the place...I set as a goal for 5 weeks...they will be 5 weeks tomorrow!! We even went a little further to the old bird pen. It is a favorite spot for puppies...apparently it still has some good bird smells...from years past!! The pups loved the wet leaves and enjoyed carrying them in their mouths!! I think they would have gone further...but I was afraid they would get too tired...and want to be carried back. After we got home they played for a long time, in their grass kennel and had milk with Momma, before settling in for a nap!!
Yesterday was rainy and they didn't get much outside play time...so they made up for it today!

The Perfect Dozen had a really good night, in their outside kennel last night...this morning they all came out on their own and out to the grass for breakfast. They don't seem to be getting any neater with their eating...but I love their messy faces!!
It is a little rainy today...but that didn't bother them...in the least!! They all ate, ran and played, took care of their business and just had an all round good time!!! They then went back in their concrete kennel and had milk with momma. They were all happy to see each other!!

Another busy morning for these babies. Last night was the last night The Perfect Dozen spent inside with momma...they will be staying outside full time starting today!! Their grass kennel is the same, it has been moved to the other side of the building...so they had a new place to explore. They were feeling pretty feisty and seemed to love having new grass to explore. They will see Momma for milk and cuddles three times a day...but will be spending their nights separately!! They are ready...and so is Momma!!
We will start encouraging them out of their comfort zone so our adventures can really begin. It will take a few days to get this bunch organized and moving in the same direction...but we CAN do it!!

The Perfect Dozen had a great morning!!! Big litters are a lot for mommas...kind of overwhelming...when we have a big litter, everything we do is fast forwarded by 3 or 4 days, (which in puppy lives, is a lot.) They started eating solids sooner, using the grass kennel, being separated from mom, etc. Now that Pearl isn't with her pups full time, she is feeling much more relaxed and content when she is with them. ๐Ÿ˜Š
This morning...the pups ate all of their puppy chow, they all explored a little and took care of their potties and poops and about half of them kenneled in their grass kennel on their own. It is hard when they are so little not to pick them up and carry them...but they have to learn to do it...they are making big strides. They are building confidence and independence...
They explored in their kennel and loved the soft toys...It was fun to watch them pick them up and carry them..
Just an FYI..the pups look fairly big, in the pictures... they weigh around 4 pounds and I can easily carry 4 at a time in my arms...so pictures can be deceiving!!

The Perfect Dozen are spending a few hours outside today. This week, we will start transitioning them, from living inside with momma full time, to living outside...separate from Momma.
They are eating solids three times a day...and still getting milk from Momma... Milk is still their favorite, puppy chow is pretty popular with them too. They are good eaters!!
