Introducing the Lucky Seven Litter...... Born April 29, 2010
Week 8: Puppies are ready for their new homes! These puppies have the most wonderful homes waiting for them. They have been a great bunch of puppies and we will miss them!
Week 7: The puppies went for their vet visit this week. Everybody got a clean bill of health! They continue to enjoy playing outdoors in the early mornings or early evenings. Our babies always enjoy playing with the soccer balls.
Week 6: Sweet puppy faces. On the left is the only girl in this litter. The puppies received their first bath this week and they have established a daily routine. It's too hot during the middle part of the day for the puppies to play outside so we've set up a "puppy daycare" in our kitchen. They still look forward to early morning and evening romps outside.
Week 5: The puppies enjoy the great outdoors but they still love to snuggle when they sleep.
Week 4: The puppies began eating puppy mash this week. Basically it's ground up kibble mixed with water. By the end of this week they are totally weaned.
Week 3: This week was all about becoming more alert to the world around them. The puppies pop their heads up when we enter the room. They love when we get in the box to play with them. Teeth are coming in which means solid food is not far behind.
Week 2: Another busy week for the puppies. Their eyes are open and they can hear. Each day the become more steady on their feet. We're coming to the end of the early neurological stimulation. The puppies love snuggling in the soft bed we've placed in the whelping box!
Week 1: The puppies have been busy growing this week. On Monday they had their dew claws removed. We began early neurological stimulation on Day 3. Zoe is the ideal mom, confident, calm and attentive.
April 29, 2010: Right on time.....six boys and one girl. All puppies weighed over a pound at birth. All puppies have ridges, no kinks or dermoids detected. Mom and babies doing great!
