Such a FAVORITE chapter of what I do here! Finally getting to share these amazing pups with all their families. All the Meiko 'Plant' pups have now had their families in for snuggles a couple of times, the Isla 'Classic Toys' pups got their snuggles along side Leia's 'Luxuries'. The smiles were priceless and the continuing stories were incredible.
Hearing more details about where each family has come and where they want to go with this new little one simply melts my heart each time. I love taking all these details in and figuring out what pup is there forever new fur friend.
Already at 4.5, 5 & 6 wks. old it is pretty apparent who should go to who. Every personality is blooming daily, getting thicker, clearer, more obvious and shining into every corner. The behaviors that surface, repeat and create a pattern making it clearer to me who their real little selves are. I continue to note each wiggle, each step and every pattern that is created by these darlings as they work through their routine each day. Who stops first, who plays longer, which wiggle is just a little more hoppy. Who finishes their food the fastest and sit quietly and waits for the next step. Who gets chewed on and who chews on others are all little indicators that I note to use to find those perfect pups for the right family. I love the process. I love watching the growth as these darlings grow into their floppy wobbly bodies and gain confidence as the weeks go by.
Our daily routine definitely takes all my time almost back to back but I love every minute of every moment of my days. Look at those pricelessly sweet eyes on these smooshy faces! every pup in all 3 of these litters have completely won me over. I play favorites...my favorite is the one in my arms in the moment. I stop, they stop, my heart slows and I find my center each and every time. Magic I tell ya, magic.
They are all getting so big and beautiful it blows me away. Their confidence is soaring as I watch them bolt up the slide steps and skid down the other side. Such fun!
The weather opened up this week to give us the opportunity to go play outside. The big stairs got tested and slayed, the swing got little legs a bit more wobbly but they also conquered the sway just fine. Tonka and Neema got the chance to run around with the babies and did phenomenal. Tonka did exactly what I thought you would do, stopped on a dime and just let the babies crawl all over him. Neema didn't mind the babies at all but was more interested in trying to chew the flags off my swing more than anything!
Inside activities continue multiple times a day with lots of music exposure, nail/toe work, body handling, noise training and vacuum training. They are at the point now where I can vacuum their tails up and they don't even flinch!
Here's another big handful of photos from our weekend. Everyone stayed dry, snuggles were had, kisses were given, smiles were ear to ear and nobody wanted to leave.
The week ahead these fluff balls are definitely in their full speed ahead mode! Either off or ONNNNNnnnn! I'd love to be able to get them outside a bunch more this week but we'll see what the heavens do for us.
Take care everyone! Furry love sent out to everyone from all the babies here!
