Crazy to think that these guys will be six weeks old on Saturday😍

The cans have been introduced in their pen for two days now. So they have had plenty of time to explore them free-will. Today we upped ante while they ate their morning meal💪🏼 They could care less👏🏼

-Door knocking/door bell ringing

Queso vs Churro in an epic battle💪🏼 Three weeks old🐾

25/04/2022

Puppies are three weeks old now, which means weaning is starting! Yesterday they tried goats milk for the first time and it was a huge hit😋🐐

22/04/2022

Puppies will begin weaning this next week! We are so fortunate to have access to raw goats milk to make the transition to food easier!💪🏼 We have started slowly freezing it away in preparation!🥳 We also love Fromm Family Foods, and all the puppies will be started on their puppy gold formula😋

21/04/2022

Puppies are a lot more mobile now, so we decided to go ahead and move them out of the whelping box😨 We also have officially started pan/litter training the puppies! This will set them up for success when they go to their new homes and transition to outside!🥳The alfalfa pellets smell earthy, and by placing used puppy pads on top of the trays is encourages them to sniff and go there!🐾

19/04/2022

Churro & Chip cuddling in their new bed🐾 We upgraded their whelping area today now that everyone is getting more mobile💪🏼

18/04/2022

Thanks Panic! At The Disco & dancing cactus toy for helping me out with some desensitization today!
