Lots of excitement today. In addition to meeting some of their future families, the puppies got to try solid food for the first time. As you can see, there was no hesitation. Puppy gruel is the best.
The puppies are busy practicing their walking skills. They are so competent now. They are no longer wobbly and uncertain. They are confident little puppies.
The cockapoo boys are waking up from a nap. They always sleep in a heap, sweetly snuggled next to or on top of each other.
Clean bedding, a bath, and a drink of milk....
Luna gave birth to a beautiful litter of cockapoos three weeks ago. Please take a look at the proud mama nursing her six adorable puppies.
Can you imagine anything sweeter? Six tubby bernedoodles taking a morning nap.
Four days old and getting more beautiful every day.
Ruby's cockapoos are one day old and adorable.
Happy New Year from Lucy and her puppies. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year. May you thrive and feel content like the puppies.
Merry Christmas from the whelping room. Lucy's puppies are sweet and plump. Here they are, popcorning. They twitch in their sleep as their nervous system connects with various muscles, and they build strength for an upcoming milestone: taking their first steps.
It is such a joy to hang out with Lucy and her puppies, now four days old. They are amazing: strong, healthy, and always ready to feed. At this tender age, the puppies spend most of their time feeding and sleeping, just like human babies.
Athena's bernedoodles have now rounded the four-week mark. Their love of milk shows; they are big, strong, and healthy. Today they get to test a litterbox with alfalfa pellets. If they use it, even some of the time, it is a great first step.
And a greeting from Ella's poodle pups. They love the outdoors and all the many sensory impressions: sunlight, a warm breeze, the smell of the earth, their paws on the smooth grass, and bird song in the air.
Walking, sniffing, finding their way.
Where do the puppies go when their pen is being cleaned? A laundry basket works quite well....for now.
Athena's puppies are busy too: growing, opening their eyes and ears, and starting to get up on all four paws.
Ella's puppies are six and a half weeks old. They are now on solid food, and they gobble it up. But when Ella lets them nurse, it is obvious that there is nothing better than mom's milk.
It's Sunday, and guess what Lucy's puppies are doing? You're right. They are eating....again.
