The pups have left to their new homes

Yes I knew they had to leave when they were born. I just dont understand how 8 weeks can go by so fast !! It is so much work raising a well adjusted litter of pups. It is also very sastisfying to hear back after they leave that the pups settled in so well. In some ways it is insulting that the little brats dont miss you !! But in another it makes me very happy that I helped them learn and that they have enough confidence to get through this. Here are the pictures with the happy moms and dads including me and my girl Emma

Pups last playtime together

Wow they are 8 weeks already and here is a video of the last time they got to play together. I am really going to miss them.

The count down is on until the pups leave !

How is it possible that 8 weeks have almost come and gone. My little babies have grown up enough to leave for their new homes. We have been busy getting ready. Angela came on the 26th to tattoo them . We use a pen to tattoo their bellies. It does nto hurt them but they hate to be held while she does it. My tattoo series is KCF everytime we have to remind outselves not to do KFC lol. This years letter is U so now my tattoos are. KCF U lol.

Today they had their shots. We just do parvo and distemper. Then later Betty McHugh came and did their puppy evaluations. Betty is an all breed judge and also does puppy evaluations. They are done with measurments. She was very impressed with these pups and said not only were they very stable in temperment but a really nice looking litter :-) I was only a little proud :-)

The first pup leaves on Monday. I will take lots of pictures of them between now and then. After they leave I hope their new moms and dads treat poor grannie with lots of pictures. Here are a few fun shots of them from yesterday

Merry Christmas

The pups were so helpful :-) We did try and get some pictures of them in front of the tree. Lets just say this is as close to doing that as we got !! They saw so many fun things so staying and sitting nice was very ver low on the agenda

The pups outside playing

7 weeks old today. Wow where has the time gone. I could hold them in one hand. They were so sweet and innnocent. Well hard to say that about them now. They are officially land sharks and if it moves they bite it. Ok does nto have to move. Pull off your socks eat your nose. Then of course lick you to make you feel better. They are vocal and love to wrestle and sound like they are eating each other. Their appitites are growing by the day !!

The best thing they love is going outside. No matter how cold or how much snow open that door and they want out !! Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. Enjoy the photos

some more pictures just making up for lost time !!

more pictures

Finally feeling a bit better so feel the need to catch up with pictures.
The pups love being outside now. They dont care what the weather is like. These little land sharks oh yes turned 6 weeks and figured out what teeth are for !! Well they are not afraid of anything. Try keeping them away from scary stuff. It jsut means oh this must be soemthing fun !! Navy Blue boy had learned if you go up the stairs into the kitchen you can come through the posts onto the back of the couch and jump on the poor unsuspecting person sitting there !! Evil furkids is what they are !!

a video of the pups and Alpacas seeing each other for the first time

The pups were interested for a nano second. The Alpacas could not figure it out !

catching up with lots of pictures

Sorry that I have not posted much this week. The weekend was busy with christmas stuff and now I am sick :-(. The pups dont care they still want me to play with them and of course feed them and clean up :-) They are really liking being outside now too. They are so much fun now except they really know how to use those sharp teeth !!

Enjoy the pictures. I took more today so will post them tomorrow

pups playing in the snow video

 

puppies outside in the snow

We had a good dumping of snow last night. It was pretty cold so I was not going to bring them outside. They were really interested in going out so I took them out to the side of the house. They ran around and enjoyed it for about 5 minutes. They are now sound asleep :-)

Enjoy the few pictures that I took

Lots and lots of puppy pictures

Well it has happened. They are free all day outside the whelping box. So there goes any freedoms I thought I had !! They are here there and everywhere. I have been taking lots of pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I will find time to get their 4 week pictures up. They are eating 4x a day and let me know when the next meal is due to be fed ! Saide is not as thrilled to be with them since they have their sharp little puppy teeth !! Enjoy the pictures there are 2 days worth

puppy update

The pups are growing and interacting. They have teeth and know how to climb out of the whelping box. They like coming into the family room and interacting with Heidi and savannah. The cats just stare at them. They can bark and growl and whine and like to all . They bite each other and give lots and lots of kisses.

They LOVE their food and have had chicken and turkey,beef,salmon and even lamb. I give them a bone to chew on while in the whelping box to amuse them.

They have loved having visitors and enjoy being spoiled. If the weather stays nice I will have them outside in a few days.

enjoy the pictures there are lots more to come

They are playing with toys and the best thing !!! They are using the paper to go to the bathroom. They have tasted real food and love it ! I cant beleive 3 weeks have gone by already. They are growing like little weeds. They weigh between 3 .8 lbs and 5 lbs with most being 4lbs. Enjoy the pictures

November 25th pictures of Leonbergers

Sadies pups November 25th eating and with visitors

Tomorrow I will upload their 3 week old pictures. 3 weeks already where on earth has the time gone. You will notice blue boy learned to climb out of the whelping box. I am not sure I am ready for a few escape artists :-)

a big day for the pups

Today the pups tasted real food. I fed Sadie a bowl full of cut up beef tongue. The pups smelled the meat and went crazy. One climed in her bowl and started sucking on the meat. He then took it out and was happily sucking on the chunk of meat. The others were joining him. Sadie said thank you very much that is mine as she plucked it out of their mouth. So I thought ok lets try some rice pablum and goats milk. I feed them individualy for a few days to start. It cuts down on the mess. They got messy enough and Sadie enjoyed licking it off of them :-) I took a few pictures and in the end they passed out and looked so content

I also did a video of Pink girl trying to play with Sadie.

pups first food November 24

Every day the pups are more interactive

The pups are becomming so much fun. They come to you and climb in your lap for cuddles. They are going to the paper to go to the washroom.

It is funny to watch them try and play with each other. They growl and bite on each other and fall over and just make me laugh all day. It is even harder to get something done now.

I can feel their teeth coming in. Wont be long until Sadie is not as happy to stay with them all the time

Enjoy the pictures you can see them playing with each other :-)

Handsome daddy Monty enjoying a day in the snow.

Well at least somebody enjoyed the big snow fall that Jan had in London. Monty sure looks like he is having a great time.

more puppy fun

The pups are really starting to interact. They notice me now and want to climb onto my lap for a snuggle. I of course have to obilge them :-) They have even noticed the toy I put in with them. Grabbing each others tails and then falling over. Just to funny. They are also trying to go to the paper to go to the washroom. That one is important !! Saves lots of work if they go on the paper. Enjoy the pictures. Dont forget to check the albums as I update them with each pups individual pictures.
