Happy 3rd birthday to our little Valentines!

09/21/2023

A very happy First Birthday to Chunk, Pudge, Squish (now Porter) and Little Girl (Nova)!

Newborn photo, and Porter Squish in the middle. That’s his grandpa (his favorite “person” in the world) Miller on the left, and his mom Oakley to the right. 😊

Managed to get another family photo this evening as I went to feed our barnyard pals dinner! Pardon the yard in need of cutting and edging, it’s rained tons lately and hasn’t dried up enough to allow me to get any yard work done.

We hope you all had a happy and safe Fourth of July! If you have a pup from us, how did they do with fireworks?

We had a major storm roll through just before dark - these goons were outside enjoying it and had to be called in for their safety. Fireworks didn’t phase them, thankfully!

I feel like a not-so-small miracle took place today. Caught this scene as I was playing lifeguard for our disabled duck (yeah, you read that right.) they rarely hold still, so a decent whole three generation family picture is extra special.

Would have been better had I pressure washed the muddy door… grateful our yard isn’t a mud pit any longer but the cleanup feels never ending!

(Their +1 is Ripley, one of our miniature poodles. He’s everyone’s favorite playmate and considers himself an Aussie!)

Haven't had much to share lately, much easier when there are cute little puppies around!

We have not yet decided if we will continue with our program, or if our last litter was it. We've kept so busy working on our home (which we moved into a year ago almost exactly!) that it's definitely on the back burner for the foreseeable future.

Speaking of our last litter, can you believe they're seven months old today?! I need to get an updated photo of Porter (Squish) but he's almost as big as his dad already, and Archer's a big guy! Porter is definitely the most energetic of our Aussie's, he loves his grandparents and has picked up the most annoying quirk of each, so that's fun. 🤣 He loves playing with Archer and Oakley as well, but is definitely more fascinated by Miller and Scarlett.

Happy 7 months, babies!

Happy Second Birthday to our little Valentines!

12/28/2022

Porter (Squish) went to the vet for his next vaccine today.

23.6lbs! He definitely gets it from his daddy. 😬

12/26/2022

Merry Christmas from all of us at Miller’s Legacy!

Mama Oakley and not so little Squish (now Porter) snuggled up after a busy day playing in the snow!

(And yep, he is almost as big as she is. Porter definitely takes after his daddy.)

Just a quick funny from today. Our granite was installed today (a real Christmas miracle! LONG story) and they started drilling the holes for the faucet. It was much louder than I expected, and after about 15 seconds, I went “oh no! Porter Squish must be terrified.” and ran to make sure he was ok.

That was two seconds of worry wasted. Early exposure works!

Pardon the fluff, apparently I only selectively swept this morning. Video is loud, watch your volume!

These past few days have been hectic, and I forgot to update.

Sis met her family Thursday! She did great on our road trip (except for an incident 10 miles into our trip…) and slept almost the whole way. She was excited to meet her people and did well on her trip home. The update I received yesterday said she was settling in well, and that she and her big dog brother acted like they’ve known each other for years!

I definitely miss her antics, but know she found an awesome home! We love you, Sis! 💜

And last but not least, Squish has found his home as well! His name is Porter (Squish will remain his middle name) and he’s making a very long trek to nowhere.

We love you, buddy. 💙

12/13/2022

Our little Sis meets her new family Thursday! She’s headed to Louisiana! 💜

12/12/2022

Update picture from Pudge’s mom! She said he’s settling in well and loves his new big sister.

How cute are they together? 💙💜

12/11/2022

Our not-so-little Pudge flew the nest today! His new family is very sweet, he has some cute kiddos to grow up with and an older dog sis to learn the ropes from.

Have a happy life, Pudge. We love you!

12/11/2022

Sis/Squish/Pudge

It’s kind of looking like we might have some great news to share tomorrow!

12/05/2022

Squish/Pudge

I was telling my sister today that something got a little goofed up while these two souls were created. While I’m not positive they’ll stay, it’s looking like they decided to split two pairs of eyes and will be “odd eyed” boys!

12/04/2022

I decided I’d teach them how to play soccer tonight. Pudge is the only one humoring me!

12/01/2022

Our last Chunk photo, he and I made the trek to meet his new family today!

The other three ran around like maniacs (they aren’t usually penned up that long!) when I got home, Sis decided to try being a lap dog, then went splat on the floor to cool off. Pudge crashed to side-eye watch a basketball game with me, and both boys were annoyed Sis can now carry things up onto the couch with her!

11/30/2022

Ten Weeks Old.

Where did the time go? Seems like they were born about two weeks ago!

They had their second vet visit today, everyone checked out perfectly. I didn’t get updated weights as the scale was broken, but I CAN tell you who’s the Squishiest. See what I did there?

They gave the vet and tech kisses while getting their shots and immediately after, they definitely don’t hold a grudge!

Chunk meets his family tomorrow, packed up his paperwork and some presents for him to take with him. We’ll sure miss that little teddy bear! 💙

Here they are as I type. I moved their pen to mop, finished and they had put themselves up and crashed. Busy day!

11/29/2022

When you’re the princess (aka the only one able to get onto the couch!) and your brothers are annoying you… watch their antics in comfort.

11/26/2022

And of course it’s the tiny lady who learns to jump on the couch first. 🤣

11/25/2022

Friday night hang out!

(I’ll add names as a comment to photos)

11/24/2022

Happy Thanksgiving!

These four are thankful for some new toys and each other. Non stop wrestle mania today, and many many rounds of keep away with the “toy of the moment”.

We put our Christmas tree up this morning, they’re interested but not overly so. Also finally brought up my metal donkey, they’re super interested in that!

(If you’re wondering why there’s a metal donkey… it’s because there’s five of the breathing kind out back and they’re kinda my thing!)

11/23/2022

Puppies turned nine weeks old yesterday and… Chunk’s moving to the Nashville area next week!

11/22/2022

When your siblings are all wound up about new chew toys and you’re… Pudge. Had a few chomps and he’s happy to chill out and observe.

11/15/2022

And just like that… they’re eight weeks old today!

We celebrated by leaving them out of their own unattended for the first time (2.5 hours in a puppy proofed area!) without issue, and nail trims. We really know how to party.

They’re ready to “fly the coop” in just two weeks. They’ll have their second round of vaccinations by then as well. If you’re interested in adding one of these little cuties to your family, please read the pinned post for some important info, and contact me!

(Photo order - Chunk apparently telling a funny story, Pudge wearing some lunch on his head, Squish and then Sister fighting Pudge for her right to a photo)

I don’t think I’ve shared this here, but I just showed this to someone and it made me laugh despite seeing it 100 times, so here you go.

This is Miller. The Miller behind “Miller’s Legacy” - paternal grandpa to our current puppies.

He was our first Aussie and gives new meaning to “momma’s boy” to say the least. He’s my dude and he KNOWS it. We are attached at the hip and perhaps a little too codependent on one another, especially after The Incident*.

Anyhow. He really loves his dad too, but as his dad travels a lot… he REALLY loves his side of the bed. Miller crashes hardcore in our bed when there’s a free space, and only grumbles a little after he hugs his dad hello after a trip when reality sets in. Sometimes I send my husband pictures like this, just for fun. Yep, that’s his pillow. 🤣

(*if you’re newer here, Miller is a tripod. He had a front leg amputated after being brutally attacked by a former neighbors dogs. He is completely over it and moved on and I am… like this => 🤬 almost three years later.)

11/12/2022

Blurry, but that’s life with puppies. 🤣

I put out five chew strips and only two of them are good, apparently. The “keep away” game is strong tonight. They’re definitely wearing themselves out, which I’ll appreciate later when I want to catch a tv show with minimal distraction!

Pudge standing, Sis on the bed tugging with Squish and Chunk hiding his so nobody knows he has it!

(And because I know someone will worry - yep, that’s an electrical cord in the background! They aren’t let out unsupervised, and they have all been taught not to touch it. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone even get close to it in over a week. The goal is that they know to avoid them whenever they see them, so hopefully their new families will have a head start on that manner of puppy proofing.)

11/10/2022

I am SO proud of these babies!

We had our kitchen cabinets installed today, while it did NOT go as planned (if you want to know which big box store to avoid for cabinets, just let me know…) these puppies acted like it was their 100th construction project! (To be fair, it was easily their fifth or sixth)

Strangers, giant objects being carried right past them, power tools, banging, phone call after phone call, the big dogs barking here and there and… they largely slept through it. They enjoyed some chew treats as a distraction when they were restless at a time I couldn’t safely let them out, despite initial frustration on their part, they calmed within a minute.

Once it was safe and I could put their gate back up, they came out to play and I trimmed their nails with loads of distraction in the background. We also worked on sitting when asked and sitting when someone stops walking. This should help with meeting new humans in the future, as they don’t think to jump up first.

As of now, the pups are all still available! If you’re interested in adding one of these sweeties to your home, feel free to reach out!

First picture is our little lady and Chunk.
Second is the little lady (she’s VERY consistent) and Pudge
Third is Pudge, Squish and the little lady during some major power tool usage. Chunk we sound asleep!

11/10/2022

It’s a construction zone here today, as you can see, the puppies are terribly stressed. Accidentally woke them by going to take this photo. 🤣

11/09/2022

Seven weeks old today! Not quite sure how that happened so fast.

We celebrated with their first vet visit. One week late, but . I didn’t want to haul them over an hour each way to the next closest, but it worked out well. They’re scheduled for their second round right as they’re ready for their new homes.

They all did VERY well with their exams and vaccinations. They gave lots of kisses to both the tech and vet, they impressed them by sitting on the scale when asked and nobody even noticed their vaccination because at the exact right moment, I stuffed a little canned food meatball in their mouths. That way they should hopefully realize the vet isn’t always about pain and will have a positive association.

Our little lady weighed in at 9lbs and the boys all between 11-11.8lbs! All are in perfect health and I couldn’t be more proud of how well they did!

Squish isn’t pictured because he’s apparently over me this evening. Sister is the one laying down.

Early morning wrestling!

Sound on for puppy voices! (And if you’re able to hear the “say hello!” at the very start of the video, that’s Leo, our African Grey parrot. He’s pretty positive he’ll be able to teach the babies to talk!)
