2/2011 pups in their Happy Homes

Here is Winston, living in East Mesa with his hu-parents and big sister, Liza (an all black morkie)

Next is Mila, now living in Tucson with her hu-parents and big sister, Parker (Westie)

One by one....

This is a bitter sweet time for me. I love meeting the new families and see the love they have for their new babies....little babies that I have eagerly awaiting the birth of and then watched over as they grow from blind helpless newborns to spunky, bouncy little furballs. They mean the world to me and I am so grateful to the loving families that will watch over these little ones. **sniffle, sniffle**

Winston's family came to pick him up saturday. I was so excited to meet them, what a cute and kind couple! Winston will go home to an older sister morkie and will have so much fun!

Then today (monday) Kendra's new "mom" came to take her home. Kendra will be an only child....and her mom is the sweetest young woman who has waited a very long time for her first dog! I am so blessed that she chose little Kendra!

Now it is just little Mila here. Her family will be here this saturday to take her. I can't wait to meet them and show them the little doll that I have been sending pictures of!!!

***please be sure to visit youtube for new videos*** I will be posting more videos tonight.

Vet visit day

The puppies took a little ride today to see the vet. Kendra and Winston didn't care for the ride, but little Claire was just fine...a little nervous, but no drooling. (I think Kendra/Winston might have eaten some kibble before leaving the house and got an upset tummy during the drive)

The were poked/prodded....

Had their ears, eyes, lungs, heart and parts and examined.

Then the doctor gave each baby a vaccine and gave me lots of compliments on what a great litter of puppies they are! We discussed their development and weaning and it was agreed that they should stay with their mom until 10 weeks and if not nursing can leave between 10-12 weeks...that is just another week or two! WOW

The babies are teeny tiny (no, don't say it...don't say "teacup"). Kendra and Winston both weigh 1 lb 2 oz and Claire weighs just 1 lb. This means the puppies are charting to mature at between 3-4 lbs. Yep, that is teeny weeny tiny.
