Apologies for my social media absence lately—raising this litter has kept me busy and more than a bit sleep-deprived! 😴 🥱I've been focusing on nurturing one of the male puppies, and he's thriving.🙌 Finally sharing these newborn photos with you all—stay tuned for more updates and videos this week! 💜 🐾

Friday is doing great, as well as two of her puppies. The third puppy needs some extra help, including the middle of the night feedings. 😴 It’s all part of it!

Thank you to all of the responsible breeders out there for your tireless, behind-the-scenes work 💙 We're so grateful for you!

As a veterinarian, I’ve often shared with my clients that breeding is a journey not for the faint of heart. It’s a path filled with soaring highs and profound lows, a testament to the resilience of life and the care we bestow upon it.

Today, I hoped to introduce a litter of beautiful puppies to the world with joy and celebration. Yet, life has its own plans, and with a heavy heart, I must share that we’ve said goodbye to the little red male. We’re also fighting tirelessly to keep another precious puppy with us. This is the reality of care—a constant balance between hope and acceptance.

To those who follow our journey, your thoughts and support mean the world.

We wanted to give you all an update on Friday's labor. She encountered some difficulty due to a large puppy, which prevented her from progressing naturally. Thankfully, Dr. Pruett was quick to jump into action and performed a C-section. Big thanks to the team, including Blake Caron and Sophie Bega! We're relieved to report that Friday and her four puppies are healthy and doing well! We'll be sharing more pictures soon, so stay tuned for updates! 🐾🐶

Teaching our furry friends the art of chilling out can be challenging, especially for energetic breeds like Border Collies. Tethering can be a helpful tool in this process. Attaching a leash to a sturdy piece of furniture gives pups a safe space to relax while still feeling connected to the family. It's all about finding the right balance between participation and calmness. Pictured here is Keats relaxing on a dog bed.
