Dearest Readers,
The first of the two Bridgerton litters have reached the age of 3 weeks old tomorrow. Their necks are getting stronger and they have accomplished the feat of rising up on their front legs. Much more action and gossip in store over the coming weeks!

Dear Gentle Reader,
The second litter of the “Ton” are now 2.5 weeks old. I am happy to announce their eyes have all fully opened. I must admit, they are over indulging in the milk bar, but alas, they will be walking soon and will burn it all off. 🥰

Dearest Readers, with much cajoling, sweet Mama was convinced that her children need to come out into society. So I present to you, the other halves of the Bridgerton Couples. These beauties already have their eyes open as they are nearly a fortnight old.

✨Dearest Readers, may I present to you the first half of our Bridgerton Litters. This group is 5 days younger than the others, but dear Mama of group one is a bit overprotective so we are reluctant to take pups long enough for pictures. Expect more pictures forthwith!

Mom vs daughter! If you look past the markings, their facial features are identical! 🥰😍 So nice to see updates from our pups!

When we start potty training your pups we use a multi-faceted approach. Pups start with potty pads, transition to a litter box or brilliant pad (mostly use brilliant pads now for their cleanliness) and introduce pups to a doggy door and grass. Puppies learn that potty does not belong in their bed or personal space and that makes potty training them so much easier once they go home.
We have just learned of some AMAZING benefits of using a brilliant pad in your own home as a potty option. I will start training my adults on it ASAP because the issue with pooping in the house when it rains is REAL!
Let me know if you have any questions about getting a brilliant pad for your dog and continuing the foundational training they received. I will share what I learn as I go!

I forgot to tell you the good news!
While we had intended on keeping Ruby (Bailey from the tipsy litter) for our program, several things fell into place just perfectly and we decided she needed to be with our friend Amy in Ohio. Amy had met and bonded with Ruby’s mom when I brought her on a trip with me, and she wanted that same temperament in her program’s foundation dogs. We are so happy to see the joy she is bringing this family. And we know she will bring so much more joy in the future as she has other like-temperament puppies down the road. We will keep you updated on her and how she grows. She is such an amiable, goofy, happy lil girl. Goodbye Ruby Tuesday! We love you! 🥰 Amy Laws

Stitch spent the 4th of July effectively drugged up. 🧨
Some dogs have a rough time with fireworks no matter what you do. It’s ok to get help from your Vet to manage that. Hugs to all you babies during fireworks season!

🏖️ Catalina went home this weekend and is now Maisie! And I know I’m silly but oh my goodness when puppy families cry at pickup 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I love it! I mean, I don’t love that they are crying but because I know how much my puppy will be cherished! It makes that twinge of sadness in my heart completely go away. Because I know they need this lil one more than I do and its ok to let them go. Have I mentioned lately that I love what I do?! 😍🥰

Today I am sharing a whole different kind of ultrasound than I normally do. I’m so happy to share with you that my beautiful daughter is pregnant and I get to be a Grandma!! I am definitely a baby person. I love babies of both the human and canine varieties so this has me over the moon. If I have been distracted and not posting much lately, this is definitely partially to blame! 😂😂

Our ☀️🌊Sunny Beach 🏖️ 🐚 litter are 4.5 weeks old! These pups are a precocious litter, hitting milestones early. They are doing great with their potty pads and have transitioned to a litter box and brilliantpad. They are smart and beautiful… and very hard to photograph!! 😂😅 Hope to get more in the next few days.

If you haven’t been following my stories, this sweet baby girl was found behind my air conditioning unit late last night. Couldn’t find mom but she was very dehydrated. Gave her puppy formula w pedialyte last night since thats all i had on hand and picked up some kitten formula this morning. Im estimating 3-4 weeks. Heading to the vet in an hour to get some sores looked at and get her some relief from the fleas eating her alive. This is when I am thankful my daughter is a Vet tech and can get us squeezed in. Ty! @clojulee

Finley says “ples don do dat” Your Vet has had a rough year too. They stayed open thru the pandemic shut downs, had a huge increase in work due to people being home with their pets and noticing issues more, and because of the increase in pandemic puppies. Your vets and their staff are regularly overworked and see abuse and neglect cases, and daily perform euthanasia. This is a hard job done by loving and compassionate people. Its not just playing with puppies all day. The industry has very high suicide rates. All it takes is patience and compassion. #notanothervetnurse #notanothervet #notanothervettech #loveyourvet #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram #bostonterriersofinstagram #bostonterrierlove #dogmomlife #dogmom #dontbeakaren
