We got all of our little colored collars on the puppies now, and it really looks like a rainbow when you see them all gathered together. They are so sweet, and getting a bit more playful now. They try to pounce on each other and end up just falling down. Every time we bring them inside on our wood floors they slip and slide. We will be watching them closer for the next two weeks to see their personalities come through and help you be ready to pick the perfect puppy!
This week we went from zero puppies to nineteen! As crazy as it sounds we are excited to have two litters at the same time for the very first time. Our kids are in absolute heaven and already beg to hold the puppies all day. Rosie and Iggy are both proving to be very patient mommas, so these puppies will get lots of loves!
Anytime we go out and play with the puppies now the kids say, "Yeah! Let's play family fun time." This is when they one-by-one bring the puppies out of the kennel and put them in a nice flat grassy area to play. Who know why it has to have this exact title, but is does seem to fit. We were so excited to come home from traveling yesterday and play with our puppies! They grow so much in the first few weeks, we knew they would be so different after just 10 days away. They have just opened their eyes, and some of them still have the filmy look as their eyesight is developing. They are also taking their first real steps, and slips, on our floor. We absolutely love them!
My kids always get excited when they know one of our mamma dogs is pregnant. Yes it means puppies will arrive soon, but it also means we will be getting ice cream! About a week before puppies are scheduled to come my husband asks the kids what day they think the puppies will come, and how many puppies there will be. We write this down on the calendar, and it helps the whole family anticipating the big day. When the puppies are born, we all celebrate with ice cream, and the person with the closest prediction gets a double serving. This time around it was my little man. He guessed the exact day, and was only one off on the number of puppies!
