Green Pasture Pups

"Big Green" took a little ride with us to meet up with his new local family! So fitting for these John Deere-loving boys to end up with the one we called "Big Green." He is their first puppy...Goldens are perfect for that ❤️. I think those boys are going to test just how much energy he has😉!

How cute are these 2!!! "Kink" (our nickname for him) will be his mom’s first official dog as a college graduate🥳! Congratulations! He will offer lots of support and stress-relief for mom this fall as she goes to law school. How cool is that! In the meantime, they are going to enjoy summer!
(This brings back so many memories as I think of my first dog that accompanied me to vet school. Her companionship was such a life saver❤️).

"Blue" went to the bon fire tonight and was a hit with the littles ❤️ He is available 😍

"Red", one of the biggest boys at around 18.5 pounds, went home with his new family tonight. He is going to have so much water fun with his big doggy brother, Walter...he ran right over to him❤️. His human, big brother might have already named him Mr. Pickles on the way home😉😂.

We poured our heart and souls into all the pups but this one required a lot of extra care to survive...The only female of our litter went to an amazing home today❤️. Born at 4.5 ounces, she was a fighter from the beginning. She would burrow under the boys to stay warm and find a teat, which happened to be almost bigger than her mouth, that they overlooked. I slept next to mom to make sure she didn't lay on her and was also up every few hours to supplement her and weigh her for 1-2 weeks.
At 2 weeks we treated her the same as the boys, but at 4 weeks/start of weaning, she took a turn for the worst and almost died. She was 2.3 pounds, while the boys were probably 8-10, and it turned out that severe constipation/dehydration from not reaching a teat (mom stood to nurse them) made her incredibly sick so she was separated from the boys and once again placed back on mom after I provided 5 days of intense, round the clock, medical management. From then on she was separated from the boys for sleeping and feeding.
Play time with all the big boys turned her into a sassy little number. Have fun with your new big brother and new mom, Runt Runt McGrunt (Adams nic name for her) aka Lee (Briars nic name)❤️

We had a staycation this weekend❤️ I was super thrilled that the kids made mud for them to play in🙄😂. They also had a play date with a Small Munsterlander Pup from Gosch Kennels!

It was our last weekend with all the pups together. ReaIizing that it's finally time for our kids to part ways (our kiddos were finally accepting of this 😉), I finally increased my effort and some are being welcomed into their forever homes this week ❤️. So excited to meet their new families! Others are still looking for homes. (I would love if some of them stayed local🥺😉)

Sangel is such a cool, quiet, dog and the dad to our litter of puppies. We immediately fell in love with his sweet and calm nature and his adorable big blocky head and frame. From the famous lines of Rus Pekos, he is an imported European junior champion, who passed all of his breed-related health testing. Rolling Hills Acreage, Orange City, IA is proud to call him theirs.

Big red is tuckered out. He chooses to lay at my feet on rocks instead of a comfortable place❤️

For the past week we have been going on outings (like school, lake gatherings, house visits for my job, stores, local vet clinic) together and individually. Pups are 7 weeks today! It was amazing to see them visit my son's preschool class. The kids could not get enough of them❤️.

6 weeks 1 day today. As you can see they got totally worked up for their first vaccine today😉🤣. They got dewormed again, toe nail trims and they were old enough for their first flea preventative and heartworm preventative. Our goal this week is to visit different places!

6 weeks tomorrow! Evening play time
