Dogs love this warm sun-cool air of the fall! I caught all three of them basking in the sun this morning.

Puppies at 9 Weeks!
I just realized I forgot to post these last weekend! Mr. Pibb and Bubbles left for their new homes, and that leaves us with Latte. We love her, and she is doing so well with her potty training already. We hope you are experiencing the same thing.

The Three Amigos
Latte, Pearl, and Mr. Pibb are becoming a close knit trio with everyone else gone. It's a lot quieter around here!

Puppies at 8 Weeks!
It has been a busy weekend with puppies leaving with their new families. It's like Christmas morning for us. We love seeing how happy everyone leaves with their newest family member. We are down by 5 puppies, with another leaving today, and one on Monday. Mr. Pibb and Bubbles are staying until next weekend, along with Latte, who will be making her home here with us and her mom Eve and grandma Lady. Here are their final photos and where they are headed.

First Goodbye
Rufus (Squirt) was the first of the clan to leave today. He looked and smelled awfully beautiful
after his first bath!
Take a Guess
What do all of these items have in common? They are all perfect things for your puppy to chew and destroy! Anything that is on the floor is fair game, so pick it up if you want to keep it.

Tick, Tock
The clock is ticking down to the end of our time with the puppies. Squirt is the first one to leave tomorrow afternoon. Will Eve get sad? Yes, she will notice them missing. Even though she is not with them all the time now, we know she wants to check on her babies when she stands by the door to go to the garage. She still produces milk and lets them nurse.
Do we get sad when they leave?
Yes, we might shed a few tears (especially our girls). It has been an intense 2 months when we have poured our hearts and time into raising these boxer puppies. Such a large litter demanded extra effort to make sure they were all growing properly. We love them to death, even after they leave.
And no. It's a whole lot of poop.

 |
| Food: we always suggest moistening the puppy food to prevent choking. Simply add very hot tap water to the food, and let it sit for a few minutes to moisten. This is more food than you will make at home (this is going to feed 5). Your puppy will probably eat between 1/2 to 3/4 cup puppy food at a sitting. They are eating twice a day (morning and evening). The bubbles you see is from the water releasing the gas in the food. Less gas in boxers is always a good thing :) |
 |
| This is after about 5 minutes. The food is moist, is still a little firm to the touch, and the water has all been absorbed. As they grow older, you will not need to add as much water. But they will always prefer it with a little water. |

Puppies at 7 Weeks!
Another week has gone by, and the puppies are getting bigger and bigger each day and doing fabulous.
We will be sad this time next week, when our house begins to get quieter.

Good News!
The ten puppies came back from their vet appointment this morning and all received their first shots and a clean bill of health (including hearts) from the vet. We'll be giving you their shot records when you come to pick up your puppies next week!
Happy Friday!
All 10 never seemed to be in one photo, so I included all of them. Can you pick yours out??
