If you have a Maywood puppy in your life, you know that I send birthday cards to your pup every single year. The card is a new one for each year, and often one I've put together with photos of dogs mostly from my first litter.

When I first set about this idea, I organized files with birthday cards for each year, one file per year. Since filing cabinet space is at a premium in our house, John and I agreed that well, maybe after 10 years I can combine into one file because let's face it, as hard as I try to breed for longevity, not every single puppy will make it past the breed average. And unfortunately, statistics suggest I'll need substantially fewer cards in those years.

Last year I went ahead and made separate files for years 11 and 12, as 90% have made it to 12 years. In a few more months, I'll be adding one for 13. And as I was just digging into my Year 12 file, thinking oh, I'll have plenty of cards left since I have to order a minimum each time, I found that I NEED TO ORDER MORE YEAR 12 CARDS!

A big thank you to all who have loved the puppies from our program and taken truly exceptional care of them. I know there have been a few really unfair losses - genetics are certainly a gamble sometimes - but as a whole, I'm so very thankful that after 13 years I'm still having to worry about getting birthday cards out on time :).

Trying again to share this. This was the Puppy Palooza event the Art Litter participated in!

The last day with all of them. They were flinging themselves at the sides of the pen and I told them "no, sit," and this was the result. They really are good puppies, even if it looks like they had a litter box party in their playpen πŸ˜‚.

Happy seven weeks, Art Litter! My last full week with you guys, and I'm going to miss you, but I'm so excited to watch all you become! Gordie and Story did really good 🩷.

Making puppy packets is actually one of my favorite things, even though it's always a little bittersweet. It's like packing up your kids to send them out into the world... necessary, but definitely the end of a chapter. Hard to believe it's already time to start putting things together for these guys to leave on their next big adventure, but today I pulled things out to start taking inventory. Lots more to add, but just the start made me a little sad. I'm definitely going to miss this bunch.

A few more from today. First time to really play outside. Wish it would let me add the video.

A few pictures from this weekend. These guys are becoming more fun and active every day, and are definitely some of the most confident puppies I've ever seen!

Yesterday it was almost 80 degrees, so we took advantage of that and let the puppies go outside and see water. Today it's frigid with wind gusting to 40 mph, so we stayed inside, but traveled to John's work to meet a whole bunch of new people and kids.

Six weeks! Time sure has flown by!
