Mischief a foot

I can't believe how fast this summer is going. Tomorrow is Aug 1. Wow, June and July sure went fast!! We've placed all the older puppies now and are ready to start placing Marnies litter. I can't believe they'll be 10 weeks old in just a few days. I actually placed Marnies little boy yesterday so we just have the 3 girls left. It'll be another month before the other litters are ready. The puppies grow so fast its amazing to watch them. From the time thier born about the size of a mouse to the time when they are ready to leave. They grow and experince so many things. Ther first time they nurse, The first time thier eyes open, The first time they can actually get all four legs under them to walk/wobble, The first time they come out of thier kennel/den to meet and mingle with the rest of the house, The first time they go outside to play. All of these first times really make you appreciate life. They sure keep me hopping though. With every litter they find new mischief to get into. lol

Well there is mischief afot and I need to go check it out so I'll catch up with you all latter.   

Wind in my face

Hi all, I thought I would share with you an email and picture I just got from one of our new parrents.

Well it didn't take long for our new puppy to go from shy and timid to tenacious and bouncy! Oh we just love him and every day is so exciting. He struts around now with his tail up and his head held high. These pictures just don't do him justice. It's hard to capture him on film. I want to assure you that even though in one of the pics it shows Franky licking a leftover corn cob, we are sticking to a healthy diet and we don't usually ever give him table scraps. :)

Franky loves to sleep with us and is doing very well with housebreaking. One accident just today, and it was partly my fault. I gave him a bath and didn't take him outside after. He liked the bath, but he liked running around all wet even more! He loves his pet bed and keeps his toys buried in there. When he eats, he'll take one piece of kibble and walk way over to his bed and eat it. Then back into the next room for one more piece of kibble, etc. etc.

He sure is smart, and even more persistant. You must be a saint keeping all those little Yorkies. They are such a smart and stubborn breed, I'd be afraid that they would assemble and take over the household!

The cat is coming around. She likes to come out when Franky is sleeping and lay down a few feet away and stare at him. He has such quick movements I think that scares Sophie. But, there is less barking and hissing so we'll just be patient.

 

One thing Franky really enjoys is bike rides. We are avid bikers so I'm especially happy that Franky likes it too. My husband got me a pet cozy that I can carry the dog like a backpack only the pup is in front. Only his head sticks out and he likes the wind on his face. Of course he was nervous at first, but now he sees the pet cozy and can't wait to get in it. I know I probably look like the neighborhood dork riding around with my little dog, but who cares - we really have fun.

 

 

 

Well take care. Thank you again - and we'll keep in touch.

Wow have we been BUSY

In my last blog I told you that Zoie had her babies late on July 3 and early on July 4. (Another all nighter). Originally she had 6 with one still born. Unforunately she lost one that had its lung punctured durring the birth. She also lost one with failure to thrive. It was just too tiny to make it. However, the other 4 babies are doing really well eventhough they are really small.

Then on July 6 Lucy Lui had her babies. She delivered 6 very healthy puppies. She now has 3 girls and 3 boys. She and the pups are doing very well.

Finally, Shelly started having her babies at 12:30 this morning. She was very nice to me and had a quick delivery and finished up about 2:30 this morning with 4 healthy puppies. She now has 3 boys and 1 girl.  

I am wiped out after all these deliverys. Thankfully we don't have anymore pregnant dogs so I will have a break after these ones are ready for thier new homes.  However, we will be really busy until then taking care of all these new babies. No boating for me this summer. lol

Well time to go. Have fun and take care of your babies.

Happy 4th of July

We just got back from the fireworks. All I can say is wow. Our little town of 200 really puts on quite a show. I just love those fireworks. All that snap and poping really makes me excited.

We also had some other excitement last night and this morning. Zoie delivered 6 boys last night but she started having contractions again about 8 this morning. We ended up having to take her to the vet. She had one more puppy in there that was still born and we had to do a c-section. She is doing well now and able to take care of her litter of boys. Thank God we have a good vet that will come in even on a holiday!

Well thats about it.  I hope you all are doing well. Take care until next time.

4th of July is comming soon.

Hi all,  I can't belive its been a month already since my last entry. Summer is sure going fast. The 4th of July is almost here. With the holiday almost upon us, I thought that I should give you a few pointers for the fireworks.

First, most dogs do not like the fireworks as they hurt thier ears. So no matter how much you may want to take your baby with you, He/She will probably be alot more comfortable at home.

Second, try to find a nice interior room in the house for the puppy so that it will lesson any of the noises that may penetrate the exterior walls.

Third, make a nice cozy bed for them there with thier favorite toys and something with you scent on it so that if they get scared they will be comforted by your smell.

 Well I hope this helps you and that you enjoy the holidays and the fireworks. Be safe and happy for the summer and good luck.

Time Flys
Hi everyone, boy how time fly's. I can't belive it is June already. We have 2 new litters that are ready to go and one that is growing nicely. We sure do love having the puppies in the house. They are just too funny. I am constantly amazed by the antics that they get up to. You can just see the little wheels turning in thier heads. Thier newest game is to try to climb in the fridge while I get the milk out. I have to double check everytime I close it to make sure there isn't a puppy in there : ) They also have taken over the wardrobe next to the back door. We use the bottom to store extra blankets and such and the doors don't shut tight. It is really cute at night because you can go in there and all the puppies will be curled up in there in one big ball sleeping on top of those blankets.

play date anyone?

We got our little Digger (Piglet) from Valley View Yorkshires in March 07.  Digger gets so excited when he sees other dogs and we have been looking for another yorkie for him to play with.  Anyone in the Twin Cities area (we live in Minneapolis) want to schedule a play date?

Hi everyone,
Mood:  mischievious

 

Well its Sat today. Whew another week gone by and the pups are another week older. Chloe had her litter a couple of weeks ago on Jan 26, 2008. She had 3 girls and a boy. We still have 14 pups to find homes for from our big group that delivered in Novemember.

Boy are they getting mischievious. They are into everything now and don't want to be in thier kennels so are out a lot of the time. It is so cute though to watch them explore thier little worlds and try new things. They have so much persistance and joy. They don't know the meaning of the word quit. They just keep at something until they get at what they want. I love hearing them run from room to room chasing each other back and forth. or growling as 4 of them all try to tug on the same toy in different directions.

 

See you all next chance I get. Send me your pics and I'll post them.
