Wordless Wednesday ~ Playing With Mom

Visitors

My friends, Chris and Abby came to play with the pups today. They just loved them and the puppies loved them too, especially Abby as you can see!

What great socialization this was for the pups, Thank you Chris and Abby!

Growing Up Fast

It is hard to believe that these little babies are seven weeks old tomorrow! It makes me so sad to think that in just over a week I have to let them go, I have grown so attached to them Each one has their own personality and they are such little cuddle bugs but to know they are going to great new families does give me some peace of mind. I know they are going to have great lives and I will get to see at least one of them on occasion and maybe even a couple of them. I do hope their new families will stay in contact with pictures and updates.

Today was a very big day for them, one of my friends from church stopped by to see them and she just loved them. Later Grandpa Dave and Grandma Michelle (sires parents) over at Dusty Rose Chesapeakes, came over to play with them and brought another duck but they were all played out by then so not much action. They also had their HomeAgain microchips inserted today, which I really was not looking forward to, it really doesn’t hurt them but just the thoughts of my babies having a needle put in them  It went very well and for the most part they didn’t make a sound…well at least most of them.

More Outside Play

My friend and co-breeder came over to see the puppies last night for the first time. She was able to see the first puppy born but since Riva decided to take her time having babies she had to leave before she saw all of them born so she was pretty excited to see them before they go to their new homes. We took them outside for play time, it was a bit brisk but they didn’t seem to mind but my hands were like ice cubes. She loved them all and thought it was a very successful breeding.

Today was so beautiful I took them outside for a few hours, they had a blast! some of them were starting to get tired so I brought them in but the big deadgrass boy had a fit, he was screaming and whining because he wanted to stay outside.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Did Someone Say Dinner Time?

Brand New World

Today was such a beautiful day so my friend Michelle over at Dusty Rose Chesapeakes and I, decided we would take the puppies outside to do pictures. They were very inquisitive, wondering all around the yard sniffing things and investigating the new surroundings. They played very hard and it was nice to be able to let them stretch their legs.

Wow this is much larger than our condo

All these smells

Do you know where we are?

Get up brother and lets PLAY

Hmmm what’s back here?

We also introduced them to a duck, a small Bufflehead, some of them seemed a little interested but they are still pretty young and with the excitement of going outside for the first time they were a little overwhelmed. Hopefully we will get more nice days so we can get outside again.

What do you have there Grandma Michelle?

What do we do with it?

It doesn’t smell like our toys

I don’t know, what do you think

Should I shove it with my nose?

Should I pick it up?

Maybe I will just circle it some more

Oh heck

JUST GO FOR IT!

Not only did they have all this excitement but we had our friends Jack and Ellen, who will be taking one of these little beauties home in a couple weeks, come visit this morning.

Five Weeks Old

They are very playful today and I was able to capture it on video. They all like to pick up the toys and pack them around which for retrievers is a good thing to see at this young age. I can’t wait to introduce them to wings!

 

and this is what happens after we play hard for a about 20 minutes
