The Pumpkin litter has also reached their 2 week milestone.  Lots of growing and time with mom.  Eyes open.  Hair coming in quickly and the pigment on their noses filling in.  

An important milestone when the puppies are two weeks old and everything is going in the right direction.  They are up on their feet and moving around and their eyes are open.  Exciting changes happening.  We've included their two week photos here and will do Pumpkin's puppies on Monday when they are two weeks old.

Raising puppies involves a lot of sleepless nights.  The puppies are weighed daily to make sure they are continuing to thrive.

It's getting fuller at the milk bar. 

The Siren puppies have reached the one week milestone.  Always a celebration and we look forward to getting to the two week mark.  Enjoy their photos!  

Pumpkin puppies will be a week old on Monday.  Here are a few photos of them.  Siren puppy photos coming soon.  

We will be posting additional puppy photos as they grow.  Some days get away from us with the additional work load of taking care of puppies, but we'll try to keep you updated.  Thanks for your patience.  

On Saturday, September 26, 2026 Siren (and Tundra) had a litter of 7 puppies; 4 boys and 3 girls.  All doing well and gaining weight like crazy.  Ange and I are exhausted since we watched the girls even prior to the birth as they nested liked crazy.  All puppies were free-whelped with no problems.  

Puppies are available to go home the weekend of November 21/22.

Pumpkin had her puppies on Monday, September 28; 3 boys and 3 girls.  Also some beautiful puppies all free whelped.  We feel extremely fortunate that the girls were able to whelp them all and are being good moms.  We are extremely tired since the puppies have to be watched 24/7 for the first two weeks.  The clothes washer runs constantly.  At this point our priority is taking care of the moms and the puppies.  We are not making promises on puppies.  I know many of you are repeat puppy people (which I appreciate); if you could fill out a questionnaire I would appreciate it so I make sure to have all your updated information.
