Two more pups left today and another is going in the morning. Things are looking a little… unoccupied… around here!The three pups were so cute at the vet’s on Thursday… they were, of course, a little amazed at all the people. They’d forgotten Penny and her family and were pretty Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, I know, at least it’s not snow! But I am so tired of wet… SOAKING wet dogs… I’m ready to move to the Sahara. Well, if it wasn’t so hot there, I’d be ready to move!I’ve starting letting the pups out on the deck now that I have just 5 to keep track of. Usually, pups immediately Read the rest of this entry »

I moved the pups into a larger pen this weekend. Once the two Doodle rescues left, there was a really big one available and the pups seem to be enjoying it. They were pretty crabby Sunday afternoon and woke up whiny a couple times that night, but it’s home now. They adjust fast. The Read the rest of this entry »

And one day later, 3 more will be on their way with their new families.The house will seem empty after that… well almost empty since there will still be more in residence here than there!And this Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently hearing me say “Good puppy” lost its appeal for the pups. The last day or two has seen them ignoring the newspaper when they are out of the pen. Now don’t get excited. Training ONE pup is very different from training nine… or any number more than two. And a couple of Read the rest of this entry »

Big, BIG step forward! Every time the pups have been loose today, they have gone back into their pen… and the newspaper… to go potty.

I’m seeing good changes in the house training process. The first part consists of waiting for puppies to become aware of their own poop. Left to their own devices, time after time, I see litters go from making deposits anywhere they have to go to everyone in the litter using one area Read the rest of this entry »

the missing microchip…one of the pups has misplaced his microchip! I’ve scanned all over his body and it is nowhere. This is no big deal as I’ll just give him another one, but it is perplexing. Where did the thing go? And how did it go there? It’s been several weeks since the pups Read the rest of this entry »

The pups have discovered adult kibble. The way I have things set up… mainly because of the weather… all the adult dog are in the house and penned when the pups are loose in the tv room and the “dog room” (which originally was the living room.) So, the puppies have not been able Read the rest of this entry »
