Rose's Pups open Eyes

Yes. Rose's puppies are opening their eyes. The two boys that have begun to see the world are pictured below. They are still young, so they're just beginning to develop their own little puppy personalities. They are so tiny!

Also, We still have three of Minnie's Pups, and are starting them on potty training. Albus, Victor, and Archimedes are still causing trouble here at honey ridge, the darling little devils.

anyway, the pictures of The tiny ones:





Three cute little boys, already developing excellent markings. it's too early to say whether they'll have any beige, but we'll see.

8-week and 2-day update

Okay, so.
Minnie's puppies are 8 weeks old.
They had another bath this week, (these guys have more baths than my brother) and several pups went to their new homes since last Friday.

We took pictures of The four boys left, so here they are.

In order, we have Albus, Archimedes, Bilbo, Victor, and the group.






in other big news, Rose delivered a litter of three yesterday. This is her first litter, so we were anxious for her. But after two all-night vigils to make sure she was okay, she pulled through spectacularly. It turned out that she didn't need any help whatsoever. She delivered three healthy little boys, who are being taken very good care of. Good for her!

seven-weeks old!

So, we have new seven-week pictures now, and I thought that I would share them.


Archimedes, with a green ribbon and his ever-sad expression:

Albus, who still won't sit still with his glasses very long:

Victor, who was amazingly asleep for picture-time:

Rincewind in a very fetching bow:

Gaston, Teaching those glasses a lesson they won't forget:

Eowyn, giving her cutest look:

And Bilbo, who wasn't too happy his nap was disturbed.


So Yes, the puppies are getting very cute by now. I think they look good on tiger stripes, don't you?

Bathtime fun

So, the other day was yeat another bath day for the puppies, but this time we snapped a couple quick photos of them getting washed.

First are a few pictures of one puppy, sudzing up with the special puppy shampoo




Then we have drying time. Towel-dry first, then the blowdryer to get them nice and fluffily dry.

We gave them a good bath and then took them to the vet to get their vetcheck and shots. He said that all the pups were very healthy, and they had fun going out and seeing a nother new face!

cuteness.

A few pictures of the pups playing around with Fawkes and Rose:

The pups had another bath yesterday, just before we had some company come over. They are getting well used to the water and the blow dryer. We had our friends hug and cuddle the freshly-cleaned pups.

Today we snpped a couple pics of the puppies during excercise time. They had great fun playing with Rose and Fawkes, and inspecting the water bowl. They are having quite the fun time!

About the puppy care kit

So, just a quick note about the puppy care kit that comes with the little buggers.


When the puppies are sold, we have a little kit that we throw together to go with them to their forever homes. Here's a little description about that.

As shown above, they will come with:

• their UABR and APRI papers and pedigree
• a Home Again microchip and the paperwork that goes with it
• their favorite toy
  
• a Sample of the food they've been eating, and a 5-dollar coupon off Pro Plan brand puppy food.
• A nice rawhide chewy
• a big book on basic puppy training and tips from Purina.
  
• If your puppy is older than ten weeks, he's had a solid grounding in housetraining, which is really great.
  
• And a through veterinary examination and all of their shots up to date.

We're also looking into the Home Again service. This service is supposed to ensure that if your puppy gets lost, you get him back as fast as possible. That would be a year-long subscription type of thing.

Updated! This post is accurate as of 7/20/08 as to what comes with your puppy!

Fourth week pictures!

Yes. More Pictures.

So today was Bath Day for the puppies. They got mighty clean.
They also got new pictures taken! Which means they are now up on NextDayPets(.com).

So Anyway, final names have been decided, and their microchips are in. We now have Seven puppies who are quickly developing unique personalities. It is quite adorable, I must say.








This Is Albus Dumbledore. He's a very curious critter. He wasn't a fan of those glasses, though.






And here we have Archimedes. Archimedes is a bit more quiet than Albus, but still quite an energetic puppy.


Of course then there's Bilbo Baggins, the little guy. But just because he's little doesn't mean he's any less of a handful. Bilbo is getting to be a cute little bugger. His ears, by the way, are developing a beige tint to them.



This is Eowyn, the only girl in the litter. She is quite the cute little critter.

Here we have Gaston.
He's quiet when he wants to be, but he can also be a roaring ball of fury when he's worked up.



There's Rincewind, the fastest puppy and one of my personal favorites. Isn't he cute just there with the little bow in his mouth? I'll eventually get to making him a little red hat that says 'Wizzard'. So Cute!

And of course we have Victor Krum! Victor is always the first to stir up trouble, and the first to whine when mom isn't around to comfort his bruises.

Plus, I snapped some pics of the older dogs while I had the camera out.

Here's a new picture of Minnie, (mom) with her scarf and a puppy.
This is Fawkes, one of our other girls. Fawkes is the youngest, aside from the pups. (In my opinion, she's the cutest as well.)

Also, Rose just went into the vet. He did an ultrasound and confirmed that she is pregnant with at least three pups. She's been a bit nervy, so we expected it, but we'll be watching her.

Anyway, that's the puppies this week!
