8 weeks old puppies: The puppies moved to Provo UT when they were 7 weeks old They are now 8 weeks old and can start moving to their new homes. They are learning to sit nicely for a treat. Rosebud, and Archer are the most patient and have learned sitting the quickest. They all did amazing with the move from a loud house full of kids to our more quiet home. They are sleeping all together with Sol's puppies in a crate, They sleep from about 11:00pm to about 6:30 am. They love running around the yard and field and love to chase anyone that will run. They were pretty scared of Orlando when they first met him. Mainly because Orlando likes to run fast and jump over the puppies. They have now figured out he is sort of fun and they are not afraid anymore. They have loved the new toys and the chance to eat out of treat toys, and to eat food scattered on the ground.. We are enjoying the many people that are coming to see the puppies. At 7 weeks old we did the Volhard aptitude evaluations and they all did really well. This is a great litter that have great temperaments. Some more active and curious, some more cuddlly and quiet. Lucky people that find one of these puppies to be in their family! 

 

Week Six update: This is our last full week with the puppies in Wyoming. They will be going to Utah to my mom's home for their temperament/aptitude testing and will remain there in preparation for their forever homes. Soleil has nearly finished weaning the puppies and the puppies have mastered eating puppy food. The puppies have been working on crate training for a few hours a day for an hour or two at a time during their nap times. We are loving on the puppies as much as we can before they leave. They all got baths and cuddles Sunday night and they seemed to really enjoy the water. All three of our dogs love to swim in rivers and lakes when we are hiking and camping, so it doesn't really surprise me that the puppies enjoyed the water too. This week will be a busy one for the puppies they are schedule for vaccinations and a vet check, a visit to the elementary school and a drive to Utah. 

​

Week Five update: The puppies are SO playful. They are climbing, racing, chasing, barking, following, wrestling, and playing. They spend more time awake and want to play constantly. Sol and PS are sharing puppy duties as both litters are together now. Sol is working on weaning them, but PS is still nursing them whenever they want. They have moved on to softened puppy food from puppy gruel and they really like it. They seem to be afraid of next to nothing, but growing up around noisy children helps with that. They have started crate training and spend about an hour at a time in the crate after their outdoor play time. Each puppy is showing more of its personality and it is amazing to watch them interact. 

​

Week Four update: This has been a week of many firsts for our ocean litter. The puppies are playing together, barking and have decided that toys are fun too! They are more curious with every passing minute. They have tasted their first puppy gruel and they seemed to enjoy it. They went outside for the first time in a snow free area on a little hill in the backyard. The big rock was the most interesting thing for the puppies and they spent most of the time just sniffing it. A few of the puppies were even brave enough to walk out on the snow. Weights range from 2 pounds 15.7 ounces up to 4 pounds 7 ounces.

​

Week Three update: What a week of growing for these darlings. They are spending more time awake and playing, but they still nap A LOT! They all fell asleep during their photo shoot. The puppies have discovered that they have siblings and they love to chew on each other's faces. They are all getting better at walking on all four paws and they are discovering that they can bark. The barks are so tiny and cute. They spend hours every day cuddling with our children and meeting their friends. The puppies are also starting to learn where to potty and are getting really good at moving off of their blanket to potty. Weights now range from 2 lbs 4.3 oz to 3 pounds 11.7 oz. 

​

Week Two update: The puppies continues to grow so quickly. All of them have opened their eyes. They are learning to walk on all 4 paws, but they spend most of their time napping. Puppies now range in weight from 1 pound 14 ounces to 2 pounds 11 ounces. 

​

Week One update: The puppies are growing so quickly. The smallest is 1 pound, 3 oz and the largest is 1 pound 9 oz. They had their first vet check and dew claw removal. They are healthy and chubby. This week has been all about nursing and sleeping.
