Pupdate: Lucy is 8 months old and definitely in her long, lean teenage years. Her color such a beautiful, rich ruby and she looks just like her mom! Her family reports that she still has some puppy energy, but is also a huge snuggler! 🩷

🧸 5 WEEKS 🧸

Carl and Clara are 5 weeks old today. They are starting to eat solid food. They play so well together and with the adult dogs.
The puppies are getting more curious every day. They love playing with toys, pulling ears, climbing and napping! 😉
The puppies weigh 3 pounds 12 ounces. They are finally slowing down a bit as Reign is spending most of the day away from them.
This week we will continue play time with the adult dogs. We will also continue transitioning to eating solid food. They have nearly identical faces. Can you tell which is which?

This is how we spend our days!

I have a quick update for the families on my waitlist. These two ladies have both been bred and now we play the waiting game⏳…..
These will be my final litters for the year. I will know more in month. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

The puppies are all HOME now. They were picked up this weekend and I finally got to meet some AMAZING families. These puppies are loved so much and I have already received loads of wonderful pupdates! 🐶🏠👍🏼

🎓 8 WEEKS 🎓

I already posted about boys’ vet appointment, but I couldn’t let the day pass without their 8 week post! Bo, Comber and Kiele had an awesome week. Lots of playtime in the house with the big dogs, outside time, snuggle time, baths, car rides, vet visit, etc. It has been a busy week as I prep them to join their families.
They are ready! They have graduated from SBC academy! I have poured myself into these three little chicken nuggets. This litter of boys has stolen the hearts of my entire family. We are all sad that they will be leaving us soon, but the smiles and excitement that I know is coming when their families arrive this weekend fill my heart with more joy than I can explain.
This week’s photo perfectly explains how the puppies spent their first eight weeks of life. They have been loved, snuggled and spoiled! ❤️

Today was vet check day! It took me twice as long as a normal visit because these three stud muffins were quite popular. Every single person working came in to hold them and get kisses!
All three boys were deemed perfect! I was not surprised, but it sure feels good to get a great vet report!

⭐️ 4 WEEKS ⭐️

Carl and Clara are 4 weeks old today. I apologize in advance for not posting many pictures of them this past week, but I have been hard at work! The other litter is getting ready to leave me and we have been potty training a LOT! It’s been all hands on deck with those three!
That being said, Carl and Clara are doing wonderful. They moved out of the bassinet almost a week ago. They have a larger pen with a crate, nap cave, and lots of new toys.
Carl and Clara and both walking and have a mouth full of teeth. They both weigh 3 pounds 6 ounces and LOVE to eat. If you look closely their little white faces are milk stained because they often fall asleep while nursing!!! Reign is a very present momma and lets them nurse as much as they want. I expect her to begin leaving the pen more this week as they get more active and rough with her.
Carl and Clara haven’t gotten many fb posts, but they both have been getting loads of love. They are held constantly and have had several visitors this week. They love the attention! 🥰

08/06/2024

I will post more tomorrow when I do their weekly update, but I had to share this picture of Carl and Clara. I love how they are always snuggled together. 🩷🩵

Butterfly chasing!! The puppies were curious and confused on what the fuss is about.🦋

08/03/2024

Outside fun. These boys would stay outside all day if I let them. They especially love finding a random stick or leaf to carry around.

08/02/2024

Look at this handsome boy. This is Grace’s brother who is now a Champion in the show ring, just like her father. They could be twins - he has the exact same markings as Grace. 🩵

🌼 7 WEEKS 🌼

How is it possible these boys are 7 weeks old!?! My time with them is flying by way too quickly! 😭
This final week, we will continue with our schedule and potty training. They are doing so well and often let me know when they need to go out. They will need loads more training when they go home, but I have laid the foundation and they are getting it!! 🙌🏻
These boys love to be outside. They run and run and have such a blast playing with the older dogs. I love to watch their interactions. 🥰

3️⃣ 3 WEEKS 3️⃣

Clara and Carl are 3 weeks old today! They are both nearly 3 pounds! Combined they are over half of Reign’s weight! 🤪 She still refuses to leave them but that will change soon as their teeth are coming in. The puppies are out of the bassinet and are moving around more and exploring. By the end of the week I expect them to be pushing up and trying to stand.
I have added some large plush toys to their area. They also have a bed to climb in and out of. I change up the toys daily and will add some hanging toys once they are standing.
This week the puppies are listening to country music as well as the Olympics. I also have been mixing in other noises like car engines, thunder, birds, etc. The new sounds and voices are so important.

I was walking Hazel this morning and realized that I need to post about a favorite new product. I LOVE www.packleashes.com. This peach pattern is my favorite. I love that I was able to purchase everything to match: the collar, bow, leash and p**p bag holder. I also bought some of the solid colors, the Rosé and the pizza pattern. 🤪
The best part of this new company is their mission to give back. Every purchase feeds shelter dogs. They have already donated over 200,000 meals to shelter dogs! AMAZING!
I’ve shared this info with my new puppy families already. I reached out to The Pack and they gave me a coupon code to share to save 20%! Use code SBCFamily20.

🏖️ 6 WEEKS 🏖️

The Ruby boys are 6 weeks old today! It’s the last week of summer vacation in our area and it has been raining every single day. The yard is wet and soggy so the boys get very wet while we are outside for potty time. I decided to make the most of it, so we are pretending we are at the beach. 🤪 Hawaiian shirts seem perfect for today’s photo.
This week has a pretty easy plan: inside, outside, inside, outside, inside, outside……. I think you get the idea. I am potty training the boys and that is what we do all day long. It’s a lot of work, but they love to be outside and they love my big praises when they potty. Pray for me as there is rain in the forecast every day for the next ten days! 😬

07/24/2024

Potty training has begun and the puppies love to be outside. Grace is the best babysitter and entertainer! She has such fun and wears them out!

🍑 2 WEEKS 🍑

These sweet Georgia peaches are 2 weeks old! Their eyes and ears are open and they perfect, chubby babies. Reign is definitely a helicopter parent and still stays with them 24 hours a day. She is very protective and only allows myself and my family to get close. She isn’t aggressive or mean, but she will definitely give a low growl and a lip curl if any of the dogs get close. Lol. She is such a cute momma bear. 🥰
Clara and Carl are growing and changing every day. They are snuggly, cuddle bugs and love to be held. They will stay in the bassinet for the time being. Reign prefers this setup until they start pushing up and moving more. I expect I will remove the bassinet by the end of the week. This week they are listening to county music in the nursery and Mother Nature is exposing them to lots of thunder and storms. This isn’t great weather for potty training, but it’s great for the pups to get exposed to these sounds early on.

HELLO sweet babies! It’s so great to see you!! 👀

🔸 Morning playtime 🔸
Turn the volume up if you want to hear the sweet conversation the boys are having! 😬

👟 5 Weeks 👟

The boys are 5 weeks old and they have found their crazy. Haha. They are running, climbing, barking, growling and tearing up my house! 🤣This is the age when the fun begins. They love to play!!!
They have been weaned from Rue and now eat solid food. WOW do they love it! They are little balls of energy, and they love to snuggle just as much as they love to play. They LOVE to be held and kiss my face. They will curl up on the couch with me for hours!
This week we will start to get on a 3x a day feeding schedule. This will be a big change because it’s been an open buffet up to this point. A feeding schedule helps here as well as when the puppies transition home.

🍩 1 WEEK 🍩

Carl and Clara are one week old today! It’s been an easy and quiet first week. Reign has been dutifully caring for her pups and is doing amazing!
Both puppies have been named and have very excited families waiting for them. They will both be going home to big brothers that are SBC family! That is super exciting!
As you can see the pigment is starting to appear on their sweet noses. That will continue to fill in over the next few weeks. Over the next week Carl and Clara’s eyes will open! Reign prefers caring for her babies in the bassinet, so they will remain in there this week as they focus on eating, sleeping and growing! 🩵🩷
