Piper and Simon’s puppies are 4 weeks old today.  I’m seeing lots of play, lots of growling, beginning interest in toys.  Their teeth are erupting. They have begun to eat puppy food (in gruel form).  They get around much quicker than they have, but at times they are directionally challenged…the feet don’t always take them where they think they want to go.  Instead of “Let the Fun Begin”, perhaps I should have said, “Let the TROUBLE begin!”

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Rosie – Jackson Litter

Rosie's New LitterOn Thursday, July 18, 2013 Rosie’s litter was born–3 males and 2 females. All the puppies are doing well and gaining weight daily. Rosie continues to be an excellent mother and really dislikes being away from her puppies–even for a very short time. One week pictures of the pups will be taken on Thursday–and hopefully posted to the blog shortly thereafter.

More Puppies

Another birth announcement–Rosie (Kenningway Affinity Wild Rose) and Jackson(Encore’s Nordic Connection) announce the birth of their litter–3 males and 2 females. All healthy, good weights, and nursing. Rosie is being a very good mother. Pictures to follow after Sue and I get some rest. This litter took much longer in arriving than Rosie’s first litter and it has been a long time since I’ve been up all night!
