Tempo - on the move!!

Puppies!!! Cuteness in 1, 2, 3...GO!!

Puppies outside!!

 The puppies have been enjoying being outside underneath my big tree in my front yard today.  They had several visitors and met some really nice people!  For those wondering I might have Lyric, the brindle female available to a pet/companion home.  The others are all sold or pending final evaluations.

Puppies at 4 weeks - first meal!

As many of you might have heard, I hurt my foot pretty badly.  No broken bones but a bad contusion.  So, I have been barely able to do much the last week.  I am hopeful that I can get Evan to take some fun photos of the puppies today after we get them moved into their new home!  They are just too big for the whelping box, so time to move them in the sun room.  This week, they did get a chance to eat their first meal.  For those who are curious, yes that is just raw ground chicken.  This is how we start off our puppies on a raw natural diet and have been for many years.  Secret is still being a great Mom and cleaning up after them as best as she can!

Puppy pictures at 3 weeks!!

 Evan was kind enough to take some much needed updated photos this week for me while I was busy.  Here are just a few. :-)

 

The Lincoln look alike - Rhythm!

 Here is the mini Lincoln aka Rhythm.  I thought it would be cool to post two pics of the both of them at about the same age just so you can see why I say Rhythm is a Lincoln look alike.  Here is Rhythm above, and Lincoln below.

New 2 week old photos are posted on the website. :-)

Secret's puppies are here!!!

 Secret's puppies made quite the entrance to the world, thus why I haven't posted anything yet about them.  Last Monday, Secret's temperature dropped like a normal girl does right before having puppies.  Unfortunately she did not go into labor, instead started having a discharge that is a sign that puppies are in trouble.  On Tuesday morning, she went in for an emergency c-section at our vets.  The problem ended up being a puppy who had died in the uterus and was slowly intoxicating the other puppies and Secret.  I was very thankful I saw the signs that we were in trouble, otherwise the outcome may have been a lot worse.  Unfortunately though, we did loose one of the other puppies, due to it being so close to the dead puppy.  Another puppy we struggled with for it's first week of life to get it nursing and thriving, but she is strong and 'flying solo' thus she became Solo.  Secret came through like a pro though and is being a very good Mom to her 6 puppies who are now stable!!  Phew!! 

 Here are some much needed cuteness pictures taken yesterday, so at 6 days!!
