Nine days old - Yuri!

Three weeks tomorrow.

The puppies' ears are starting to open and they will begin to react to sound.  This coming week  will be full of changes and I hope to have time to take lots of video.  EB wasn't eating so now I have been cooking salmon, fish and chicken for the dogs, and hamburgers for us. 😅  The dogs don't like hamburger.  What's wrong with that picture?

Enjoy!

The difference eleven days can make in newborn puppies

Ooops, that's 12 days, I'm a bit sleep deprived.

Day 3

I'm setting up a spreadsheet with visiting times on it.  I'll email that in the next couple of days. If you can only come once because of distance please think about the fact that puppies at 5 weeks sleep most of the day and so you may want to think about coming later in the month.  I won't start September's schedule until I have appointment times for Guelph Vet School.

I'll keep repeating this -
Because of Parvo (this can and does kill entire litters so it is EXTREMELY important)
1. Please bring clean slippers or socks for wearing on the artificial grass inside the fence.  It's clean.
2. Leave your shoes outside the fence.
3. Wear freshly laundered clothing that has not been exposed to other dogs, even your own.
4. Leave purses etc in your car.  You may bring in your cameras.
5. I have hand sanitizer for both Parvo and Covid.
---------------
Because of Covid
1. Please wear a mask and leave it on while you are here.
2. We have hand sanitizer, but feel free to bring your own as well.
3.  We will maintain distance even if you have a mask on. We will have ours on as well so might be best to ask questions later via email or phone after the visit.

The vowel litter

Since I've had a fair number of litters of seven, I was stumped for a theme.  At first I thought this theme would be boring, but as it turns out there was a bit of controversy over W.  Who knew?  Cathy McKeown (the sire's owner) taught grade school for 25 years and insisted that W is not a vowel, but that's what I was taught in the olden days. <LOL>  Yes, it's somewhat controversial now, like the Oxford comma, but it was in the list of vowels at one time.  So the pups are Abby, Emma, Ivan, Odin, Uma, Wade and Yuri.  I post who's who later.

Last nights litter - July 17

There were three girls and four boys.

Visiting puppies

I have been having email issues so I'm just checking that everyone got the information that I hope you can visit starting August 13.  Once the puppies are 5 weeks old I need your help in socializing them especially in these times.  Everything will be set up in a safe manner for both the pups, and possible Parvo contamination, and for all of us and Covid.

Please feel free to call or email me about the times.
