Little Beaux giving our son the run around. #TrackStar

The miniature goldendoodle babies had their vet visit today and were all cleared to join their families next week! Healthy and happy! ❤️ Little Missy got the hiccups at the end. 😍

Spending a little time outdoors before the thunderstorms roll in this afternoon. #Puppylove #PuppyRacing #Goldendoodles #MiniatureGoldendoodle #Tiny #LoveDogs #HoustonTexas

Everyday, we have one on one time with each puppy. We let them roam and explore new areas of our home and sniff different objects the kids leave around. They also get to greet our oldest dog (grandma ChiChi) which helps them get to know/socialize with another dog other than their mom. #PuppyOnTheLoose #MiniatureGoldendoodles #PuppyLove #PrancingPuppy

Sometimes puppies like to cuddle their mama. Other times, they like to be comforted by each other inside of a tight space such as a shoe box. ♥️

Getting and giving some sugar. ♥️💋🐾

The miniature’s giving Avalyn some love. #PuppyKisses #PuppyBreath

This girl is so smart. She needs the expert puzzle because she has this intermediate puzzle down. Basically, you place treats in the slots and the pup is supposed to move the slots with their nose or paw to retrieve the treats. Did any of my puppy families use theirs yet? If so, how’d your pup do? #BrainGames #goldendoodle

Rearranging some things this morning! 🐾

More outside fun. ❤️

Look at those tail wags. ❤️

Children love to play with boxes and puppies love to play with bins. 😌

Daily dose of cuteness. Puppy kisses and tail wags. ❤️

When you can’t turn mothering off. 🥰 This is our miniature mama (Selah) trying to nurture and comfort our medium puppies from mama Jazzy. This week, we are weaning the puppies so Jazzy is spending less time with her puppies which makes Selah want to spring into action. Selah is due with her own puppies any day now! Exciting days ahead.

They’re being so sweet. Three weeks is a sweet spot because they still don’t have teeth, and they don’t think they’re the biggest dog on the block.

Little Bear was giving Elias puppy kisses. #AttackMode

Our miniature goldendoodle babies At The Cross Kennel had their first helping of mush today! Mama Selah is not wanting to feed them as much now that they are getting teeth so we want to make sure they’re getting all the nutrition they need. ❤️ We add NuVet powder to their food to help achieve this, & we see great results. It is a big milestone for them! #Goldendoodles #DogLovers #FurBaby #Love #OptimalHealth #DoggieDays

It’s the proud little tail wag for me. “Am I growing tall?”

We are introducing a few new things to them slowly now that they are walking and their eyes are fully open. We put a box in their pen so they can go in and figure out how to get out. It is a different texture than they’re used to so it’ll expose them to something new. Our daughter also picked out some toys today for them which make different sounds such as squeaks and crinkles. This phase is all about exposing them slowly to new things and giving them small, realistic challenges to overcome. They’re some spoiled babies already!

Our goldendoodle babies are incredibly affectionate and are raised around our kids in controlled environments where they can learn to trust little humans rather than fear them. I think it is also safe to say our children benefit too and love being apart of each puppies journey.
