Having a ball!

Cami’s foursome enjoyed their ball pit experience!

Of course, just like kids, they also like simples pleasures like chewing on the rug on the ramp, and each other!

Seven weeks old!

How in the world have seven weeks passed already with these little furry, teddy bears?! But it has! They are so sweet. Tails wagging and always ready to greet me when I walk in the puppy room. They love to romp and play. They are great little eaters of their puppy food. And just fun little puppies! They are doing a lot of playing and learning!

We’re having one-on-one time with them which is important to prepare them to leave each other and be on their own. Mom is pretty much “done” with the raising them. She’s about ready to kick them out of the nest. 😉

They’re having fun playing in the puppy room and seeing, feeling, hearing and touching different toys, surfaces and textures. They loved the wiggy monkey and the book reading (and moving) dragon.

And here they are for their seven-week-old portraits! Straight off the farm!

“Luigi”

“Mario”

“Toad”

“Yoshi”

“Hi Jennifer!

Our first pic! Yes, it was great meeting you too!

Yes we made it home safely and he’s settling in well which will continue to be an adjustment

TSA was a success and he got lots of “oooooooos” and “ahhhhhhs.” luckily he slept through out the plane excursion and I didn’t hear a peep from him

A slight change for puppy matching

Just sharing an update for everyone know who is interested in Indy’s litter. We would normally be matching them this Sunday, April 21st. But unfortunately we’ve had a loss in the family and we will be away that day for the memorial service.

So I will start making calls on Monday, April 22nd to match puppies.

Just a reminder if you are officially on our Cavapoo waiting list and interested in these puppies, please reach out to me by noon on Friday. If you are not on our list and interested, there is still time this week to fill out the puppy application forms and get through the process. I can’t guarantee you a puppy from this particular litter, but there is a chance. And you’ll be on the list for future litters!

Time for school!

It’s April! You know what that means? Time for school; dog school that is. 😉

Our local dog trainer starts her spring classes each April. I try to take at least one dog through class each year. Sometimes I sign up for the second session and do another dog too! I’m a glutton for punishment. (*whispers* actually it’s my weekly “therapy” night to get away and do something fun).

I signed up for the class about a month ago, figuring I decide which dog as class got closer. Well, class started last Thursday. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! I’m running dogs through my mind trying to decide who to take.

And decided on this silly girl! Summer <3

She’s still young and has much to learn. She’s sweet and silly, but not super confident out and about so I thought she could use some class time.

I really wasn’t sure how it would go as she’s not super great on leash. My fault of course, but when you live in the country with a big fenced-in yard, leashes don’t get used a lot.

She’s not sure what to do

She kind of did a slinky, crawl along the ground position at first; not sure of the leash or her situation. But with a lot of treats and encouragement I could see a big difference by the end of class. She had become more comfortable and confident and she was enjoying herself.

She absolutely loved the thick, freshly cut grass and kept rolling and sliding across it. It was hilarious!

Off he goes!

Thursday night Casanova got his bath before bed.

Then I got up early Friday morning to give him breakfast.

I usually always do puppy delivery day on Sunday, but since he was the only puppy in the litter we could be flexible and this day worked good for both myself and his new mom.

I met her at the hotel near the airport and we had a nice visit and time to go over paperwork. Then he was finally in her arms!

I dropped them back off at the terminal as they were flying home.

Happy life, Casanova! I’ll miss you <3

Little and big

On Wednesday, Casanova had his vet check-up. He was going to be the only passenger with me, but we ended up adding another animal.

On Monday, I noticed that Ben’s right eye looked red. But he has very hooded eyes and I didn’t take the time to go pull back the lids to get a better look. Unfortunately a stomach bug hit me instead that day so I forgot about his eye. By Tuesday evening I was better and remember to take a closer look at Ben’s eye. It was definitely red in the corner but it wasn’t like bloodshot or an ulcerate cornea, this red spot was inside his eyeball!

I went inside and messaged my vet to see if she could check her schedule when she got to work the next morning and hopefully be able to squeeze Casanova and Ben in together. Thankfully, she could.

So Wednesday, I loaded up one of the littlest canines on the farm and the biggest. Casanova rode in a smaller than usual crate so Ben could have the rest of the back seat.

Casanova was perfect for his exam and passed with flying colors!

I have to tell you what happened though. Have you all heard of Murphy’s law? Well, it applies to puppies too. Whenever you know you have to take a puppy or a litter in for a check-up and fecal exam, they don’t poop!

Casanova got breakfast, second breakfast (some canned food) and lunch, plus we walked the yard and garden for forever before leaving, trying to get a sample. I let him use the litter box before and after the appointment and the vet even tried to…um…fish for a little bit, but to no avail! That puppy was not giving us anything! So Casanova is one puppy in a long, long time that didn’t get a stool sample checked before heading home. But it wasn’t for lack of trying! The little stinker.

Next was Ben’s turn. The tech even gave him his own rug to stay on because the floor is so slick. Then she and the doctor got down on the floor to exam his eye. After a thorough exam and some testing, it was determined that he needed to see a specialist. There’s a chance that he has some type of tumor/cancer within his eyeball. It doesn’t appear to be painful at this point, but he was put on some steroid drops to hopefully help with inflammation within the eye.

So think good thoughts for Ben. He has an appointment with the specialist in Spokane at the end of the month.

And Casanova is off on his own adventure today to meet his new mom!❤️

Casanova goes to church

Last Saturday we had a potluck after church which I wanted to attend. But I didn’t want to leave Casanova home alone for a few hours, so I decided to take him along! It would be his first car ride and since it’s only a six mile round trip, it would be short and easy.

Getting readyAll dressed and ready for church!

I left late in the morning so I could let Indy and Cami out to potty one last time. Instead of going to what most people call Sunday school (we call it Sabbath school) which is the study part of church before the main church service, I just went for church.

Once we arrived, I gave Casanova a chance to use the litter box in the back of the truck, then tucked him in his crate with a couple toys and a chunk of Himalayan cheese to gnaw on. Then I went inside for church.

After church I came back, to offer him another potty break. Then gave him water and his lunch in his crate. Then I went back inside for my lunch.I put his kibble in a cow hoof, covered the top with a layer of canned food and froze it.

Don’t worry, the weather was cool enough that he couldn’t overheat in the truck. It was actually a bit windy and chilly so I made sure the heater was one when we drove there to warm up the inside, gave his a little sweater and covered his crate so he’d be warm.

I offered him the use of the litter box again, wrapped him in a blanket and went back into the fellowship hall where people were still sitting around eating and visiting.

He wasn’t too sure of the situation but cuddled into me for security. It was very noisy with all the people and the kids running around after lunch. But he handled it and got loved on by lots of nice people.

It was good outing with the car ride, crate time and new friends. <3

Little bundles of fluff

Look at Cami’s puppies! They look like little teddy bears. They just turned six weeks old today and are just the sweetest. They’re starting to play and explore a bit, but also love cuddling in their bed in the crate together and napping. They are eating soaked puppy food but also love when mom the milkshake machine shows up. Mom is wanting more breaks from the “kids”. She checks in, lets them nurse, then wants out of there fairly quickly. That’s pretty normal for this age and part of the weaning process.

Here they are at six weeks of age.

And here they are enjoying some playtime together! They wanted me to join them so I sat on the floor and they used me as a climbing obstacle.
