Olive's litter is SIX WEEKS OLD!

The weather has been terrific, so they spend most of their time outside in the nursery. After I feed them breakfast, it is necessary to vacuum and wash everything, so I take each one out individually to enjoy the shade, smells and noises of the outdoors. I play in the activity area a lot with my mature dogs, so they watch us and are entertained. It won't be long before I put the puppy tugboat down and fill it with water for them to play in. They are served lunch outdoors each day.

Once they are in for the night, they have dinner and then I clean and spray down the entire nursery area in preparation for the next day.

We are getting lots of visitors now and they continue through tomorrow and Monday as well. Sometimes, they are sleeping during these visits and other times awake. They are still babies and have very small periods of being playful. As they age, they get VERY playful and mouthy and you kind of wish for more nap periods!!!


This is one of the 'sweet' caramels - Blue Boy. He is a good greeter. :+) 5.8 lbs.


Teal Boy will be a deep apricot and seems to enjoy some action. We will see how he scores with the trainer. 5.12 lbs.


If Black Boy passes the prelim testing, he will be added to my program as a potential stud and be placed in a guardian home. 5.8 lbs.


Red Girl continues to be the smallest and most compact pup in the litter. Her coat is slightly different - thick, straighter than the rest but I feel will be beautiful as an adult. 4.4 lbs.


Purple Girl LOVES belly rubs and will simply roll over to get them. :+) 5.12 lbs.


Talk about a 'chunk of caramel'. Green Girl loves to eat. Both she and Blue boy have hazel eyes and liver noses. 6.8 lbs.

  3. What cute pups! I cannot believe Skidder is 8 mos already. She has trained so well and is doing great with the electric fence. She bounds through our field like a deer, ears flopping. She even has been swimming in our pool. Isis and Skidder have become best buds. Good luck with all the pups. We will look forward to seeing Clarabelle's next litter!

  4. Hi Wendy!

    It is amazing how quickly they grow. So glad to hear her training has gone well and that she and Isis are good friends. It appears our match went well!!

    Most of my dogs and puppies LOVE the water and swim in pools with great gusto. :+) Ours go to the gate and bark to be let in. I guess a triple dose of 'water dog breeds' has a lot to do with it.

    How is Skidder's coat? Should be just the right time to have it cut short before the mature coat begins causing issues.

    Thanks for posting!! I am looking forward to Clara's litter as well. :+)

  5. Skidder's coat is great and we did get her cut short for the summer. She is soft and wavy.
