I'm away from the kids for a week and the only way to survive is to watch their videos every day! Can't wait to be home with them again 🌅
One thing the dogs love -- berry picking time! We are fortunate to have thousands of Saskatoon bushes around our home. We like to freeze a bunch to add as a supplement to the dogs meals. Similar to blueberries, these guys are full of antioxidants. You may even see "Saskatoon berries" listed as an ingredient on some of the quality kibbles out there!
We make sure to sneak in some family picking before the bears get the rest 🐻 🫐
When we arrived home, Sassa searched for the puppies at the vehicle and we could tell she was upset but had a good idea what had happened. After being in Mama mode for so long, we finally have her back again and she's acting like a puppy with her own toys and cuddles in bed with us. Feels so good.
I want to thank everyone who met with us and just know that I'm thinking about all of you and missing them!
☀️⛱️🌳🍉🌻🌊
It's going to be a great Summer.
I've shortened this clip to only a few seconds for the sake of the family and the kiddos but I have to share their story. We learned that they would actually be surprising their children with this puppy after losing their 13 year old Golden last Summer. I feel so unbelievably fortunate to have witnessed this first meeting and was instantly tearing up 🥹 Just seeing our little puppies face curl up into a smile, knowing she would be getting so much love... this is priceless to us.
What a beautiful and healing experience a new puppy can bring into our lives! 🐾👨👩👧👦
We are finally on our way back home and can't wait to hold our dogs again. I was suuure feeling it when I was picking up the puppy bowls and toys and realizing they were really gone now... but I've been so lucky to receive updates already and had some teary eyes knowing they are in good hands! Enjoy these puppy moments because they grow so fast 🧡
Here is a video of Bailey (from our first litter) getting to know his new baby brother.
We love little adventures 🌼🌿
Took the whole group on a walk last night. It's beautiful here right now. The puppies had so much fun. They are really good with following us 🐾
Want to see how you tucker out 5 puppies that need to spend most of the day in the vehicle? Zoomies at every stop! 🏃♂️🌾
We left at 7:30am and home at 7:00pm and the puppies did fantastic. Not single accident in the truck if you can believe it. Puppies are so predictable - keep them on a schedule of food, play, potty breaks, lovin' and naps. ❤️
Vet visit went great! We had a new vet that left us feeling like she was the best we've ever had. We are hard to please when it comes to the care and attention of our dogs, so this was a great feeling. Puppies had their first set of shots and a great physical with the vet. We received a healthy stamp of approval 🙌🏻

Guess he's not sleepy 🤷♀️🤭
I just love you so much little buddy. Will miss you like crazy.
Lake day with the pups 🌞💦🏞🌿
Mom. Mom. Mom. MOOOOMM!
Sassa is going to miss this 🥲
Dog treats are expensive! I swear pet stores have a special mark up for puppy training treats too 😵💫 Not to mention some of them have a laundry list of ingredients.
If you're looking for a nutritious, high value treat - try some scrambled eggs! Keep a little bowl ready in the fridge for the day and use this to help reward good behavior and assist with training.
Here is the proof that puppies are obsessed. Yum! 🥚
If I had an idea of the perfect day... this would be it. There is nothing like playing with Golden puppies as they discover water for the first time. Totally perfect day outside with them this afternoon. Makes me teary thinking about how our days together are numbered. Worth the watch ☀️💦🫶🏻🌿
