More milestones

The puppies will be 5 weeks old on Tuesday. I have moved them from the quiet of my office to the kitchen and finally on into the dining room where they have plenty of room, a view of the outside, more commotion all around them and easy access to the outside when the weather gets a bit warmer. They have moved from puppy "goop" to a more mature diet. Here they are enjoying a dinner of chicken necks:

Next week, I have scheduled the Volhard's Puppy Aptitude test and the following week, structural analysis and temperament testing. Then, I will gather all of my notes and applications and start matching puppies. It should be an exciting week!

Four weeks old tomorrow and the first one with his ears up. Good Job Rogan! Tullia in the foreground.

Funny, we used to all fit! Inna declares "open bar" while the puppies all try to find a spot.

Somehow or other they all figure it out and settle down.. Mom seems satisfied with this morning's adventure!

Tala meets the puppies

Hello! Well of all of the times to schedule some remodeling, this was probably not ideal, but rarely can we plan things perfectly. So, I am getting my stairs redone and last night we all hunkered down in the family room. Puppies were brought down for the night and even the big kids had to find a comfortable spot to spend the night.

Tala, whom I kept from my first litter, got a chance to meet her siblings from litter #2. By the end of the evening, everyone was pretty tuckered out.. you can see pictures here. Hard to believe that just 6 months ago, Tala was the same size as these little ones. After much exploring, and tons of blurry pictures everyone finally settled in for the night. Tonight.... my stairs are back in operation so everyone gets to sleep in their own bed... including me! :)

ENS _ Day 3

Today we start the ENS exercises. These exercises were designed by the US Army as part of the SuperDog Program. They are said to enhance brain development and learning. Here s onee of the five exercises we will be doing for the next 2 weeks. Rogan seems to be enjoying this!

Day 2

The babies are all doing well and growing by leaps and bounds!

Good Job Inna!

We have puppies! The first puppy arrived at 5:03AM and we just finished up. Five beautiful girls and two handsome boys. Inna sure looks pleased!

More pictures to follow in the next couple of days!

A Belly Full of Puppies!

That is what the vet said after looking at the x-ray of Inna's belly today! The puppies are all nicely sized and counting skulls and spines we definitely see seven, and maybe a pup up under the ribs. So, she will keep us guessing for another week. Due date is March 4th.

SPRING LITTER!

We just returned from the vet. The ultrasound shows at least 7 puppies. Expected date of whelp for the Mikko x Inna litter is March 4th. Stay tuned for updates.

Happy New Year!

From all of us to you and yours, here's to a wonderful, happy, healthy and successful New Year!
