These puppies are now 6 weeks old, and they are loving everything they do. They eat, sleep, play in the grass, wrestle with their siblings, and then sleep some more.
They are developing perfectly as we expect, and they are now eating their solid puppy food soaked in water. They will transition to just the dry food shortly, and everything looks great!
I have scheduled their Vet appointment for Friday September 2nd at 9:00 AM. The puppies will be ready to go to their new homes at any point after that exam.
We have 4 boys remaining for adoption. If you would like more pictures of them, or want to come and play with them, just let me know.
Mr. Green: He is a quiet guy who loves to play with his siblings and loves to be held and cuddled. He's not the most adventurous, but he is a very happy guy. He also has beautiful markings and color.
Mr. Blue: He enjoys exploring every inch of his play yard, and then jumping onto the back of one of his brothers when they aren't looking. He has a gorgeous coat and a fluffy white chest.
Miss Orange: This sweetheart was the first puppy reserved. She has a beautiful coat and quite a fun personality. She's not an instigator, but she likes to "finish the discussion".
Mr. Yellow: It's hard to be biased, but this guy is my current favorite. He is the first one to run to me when he sees me or hears my voice. He loves to be picked up and held, and he LOVES belly rubs! All of the puppies have great and loving personalities, but I am easily drawn to the one who runs to me the fastest. (I'm pretty shallow)
Mr. Purple: He has one of the darkest coats in the litter and is mostly all red/brown. He doesn't have a lot of white, but he should NOT be overlooked. He has such a cute face!!
Mr. Black: He is the most visually distinctive puppy in this litter. He definitely stands out in a crowd. He has a lot of white in his face - to go with his pink-ish nose. He has a very royal demeanor, and is very likely to be in the background watching the other puppies wrestle and play. That is, until someone jumps on him from behind! He is a cutie!!
Miss Red: This little girls has always been special. She was the smallest in the litter when she was born, but ALWAYS gained weight in the proper proportions. She was NEVER a marginalized "runt" - she was always in the middle of everything. Now that the puppies are fully weaned, she is catching up on her siblings in weight. She is absolutely normal - and absolutely adorable! She will be living with a family that adopted one of Penny's puppies from a few years ago, and her "Grandparents" also have 2 puppies from prior litters of Penny. She's going to have a wonderful family life!!
Here are a few general pictures to round out the post.
