These are some big bellied babies! Not quite 4 weeks old yet (technically, tomorrow) but they are READY for something that sticks to their ribs. Then back to momma for some comfort food (milk). They're gonna be running and jumping before we know it ❤️
The Shih Tzu Sisters Squad hit the streets today 🤣🤣 Soleil & Ducky (Venus) are half sisters. Morticia (FKA Zoya) & Ducky (Venus) are cousins - their moms are sisters! Definitely got some puppy energy and attention span happening haha. I usually take a well trained adult "trail leader" or two along with an enthusiastic pupper. Today, we just went wild. Bring the baby girls!
Soleil the solid red girl, parents are Karma & Santa. Grandparents are Pandora, Anubis, and champion show dogs in Ukraine & Russia (not mine). She's a whole whopper!! Her mom is only 9 lbs but she got ALL daddies size and weight genes. Her competitive sport would be an eating competition. Crowned winner here 👑🍔🤣 Her brother and sister from the same litter are much smaller, but we love our chunky happy girl ❤️
Ducky (Venus) the red & white girl is way overdue for a bath but I thought the road might be wet or we might get rained on so figured I'd wash her afterwards. Her parents are Odessa & Santa. Grandparents are Kikimora (from the Ukraine show kennel), Morpheus, and champion show dogs in Ukraine & Russia (not mine).
Morticia ((Fka Zoya) parents are Cassandra & Bounty. Grandparents are Kikimora (from the Ukraine show kennel) & Morpheus. She's my sugar baby. Total best friend material just like her mom and grandma!
My loves!! ❤️ Potential future mommas. Never truly know until they mature and pass all their health testing, but we are hopeful as their parents and some grandparents completed their OFAs. Good genes in these babies!
Breakfast & snuggles on the comforter hill 🤣🤣 Its already like an obstacle course for these clumsy wobble babies.

Last potty and cuddles before bed. A lot of times they'll run into the crate they want to sleep in. Tonight they must have felt attention starved or maybe just well rested from early napping and wanted some cuddles before they go to bed. Fair enough! I'm always down for some puppy therapy! They're just so sweet and FULL of love!!
I guess they're ready for bed! 🤣🐾💤 Comet walked out of a crate right as I opened the camera, before I started recording. She looks sleepy. Must have been cat napping. Some of Godiva's have themselves squished in behind the crates, so not necessarily crating themselves but they are seeking that tight space in a dark corner feeling. Klaus, Houston, Jingles, Molly, Zuzu, and Wilson must all be in crates on the right side pen because i don't see any of them. Someone's in the bigger crate playing with the jingly crib toy that's dangling down from the top. Alexa is playing music for them. Nothing crazy, just soothing music. Sometimes we play various sounds like storms or honking or whatever random thing I can think of, to help them get used to lots of different noises at different volumes. Sometimes we play rain sounds or just generic white noise. Anyways, they're doing great getting on a schedule! Sleepy time now and between 7 & 8 am they will be hollering for potty & breakfast! Someone needed a 12 am potty break last night & then someone else needed to potty at 3 am. I gave everyone a turn to potty and drink water both times. It can take a few days for their bodies to catch onto the schedule, and then with multiple ofcourse they can wake each other up. They're doing good though!! Sleeping peacefully and comfortably, and letting me know if there's any urgent potty need, then back to bed ❤️ I hope it makes their first nights home much easier for them and their families, because everyone enjoys the new puppy experience more when it's easier!
Crate doors are all open, BTW, unless they bumped one "closed", but they're not locked. I'll go wake them for a last potty and tuck them in so they can settle for the night. Sweet dreams babies! ✨️💤🐾
Happy puppies!

We are moving right along with vet visits and puppies going home! Next weekend will be a big pickup day with lots of puppies moving and then it'll be a lot quieter around here.

We did a little rearranging with the babies today. These are their "eat, sleep, potty" apartment pens. A confined space helps them build the skills for a really solid potty training foundation. Then we go across the room to the right where the big playground is setup to play, socialize, exercise, and try new things! With puppies leaving and the remaining pups 8 weeks+, I wanted to work on puppies sleeping through the night in crates. We'll start with 2 puppies in a crate together to help wean them from sleeping against all their siblings. It can be a BIG change for little puppies to go from all this extended family to being a single pup. Learning to sleep in the crates alone or with a sibling is a step forward in the independence they need to feel confident, comfortable, and secure in their new homes. It's not always a seamless transition, some are more sensitive to change than others, but we try to give them a good start.
On left is Houston, Klaus, Jingles, Molly, Wilson, & Zuzu.
On right is Godiva's litter: Prancer, Roger, George, Eppie, Comet, Nyxie, & River.
We'll get River & Winston back together on Monday. I'm just paranoid about newly vaccinated puppies shedding virus or something to puppies without vaccines. Im not sure it makes sense, or is even a concern, but it makes me sick with worry, so I like to give them a few days without that crossover ❤️ Just incase! Their little immune systems are so fragile leaving them vulnerable. We've almost got everyone vaccinated though and then i won't be so over protective 🐾🐾
