We have a morning routine that is pretty hectic getting everybody ready for the day. First Dottie and I race downstairs to her babies to get them outside so I can change bedding and newspapers. She feeds them while I clean up. Once done I make them goo and they are happy little pups! Then I bottle feed Rene’s babies which takes awhile since there are ten hungry babies all clamering to be next. But today I had a helper!! Aunt Dottie decided to pitch in!! It was so sweet! I swear those girls know they are 1/2 sisters😍 I have the best moms which makes for the BEST PUPPIES!!

I just love those little eyes opening and everything changes. They bark and growl and walk. so darn cute!! I’m always amazed at how they change in just a week. Dottie’s babies just 12 days older are playing and begging for lovin. They are irrestable those sweet little eyes. Nothing is better than puppies!!

Lexie and Rosalie were here this weekend. Since they have moved to Rockford they miss the big yard they had in Lake city. Today they seemed to especially enjoy running with the other girls at the park!! Lexie is Rene and Rosalie’s mother, daughter of Citori ( who lives with Trisha and Ted and the twins in Lansing) and grand daughter of our Jazz the smartest dog I’ve ever seen. We are so proud of our several generations of wonderful healthy poodles. Because we know the family tree so well, we know we have healthy good natured babies😍

OMG I can hardly stand all the cuteness!! Dottie babies are playing, barking, growling and eating much neater than just a few days ago. We’ve been outside for a few minutes several times over the last few days, they are crying less and exploring more. It’s really good for them to be introduced to new things daily, makes for a confident puppy. A confident puppy is an outgoing pet☺️that’s our goal, the perfect pet!!
Rene babies are opening their eyes!! Yeah PEEPERS!!

I love first haircuts!! Those adorable little faces!! Makes you just want to eat em up!! These are Bonnie, a very happy girl and very vocal like her mother and Martina who is SO SWEET and manages to find a spot on your lap every time. Both are full of kisses, Both irrestable 😍 THEY ALL ARE!!
Rene babies will have open peepers in the next few days! How I love those tiny little eyes looking back at you!! Ahh puppy love!!

At three weeks we change to puppy collars with gems. Their hair covers up the tab band collars we use when they are tiny and you can’t tell who’s who for pictures.
They are very cooperative babies happy with what ever you’re doing ( except going outside but that’s getting better with every trip). I can’t believe how fast this three weeks has gone by! Some improvement in eating -thankfully ☺️

I found this on the dog bed. I can only assume Rene doesn’t like me feeding her babies haha. Well they like it, they are little chunks! I love fat healthy babies and bottle feeding also means they are handled a lot. I think it’s important they are never hungry to avoid any food issues. It takes a lot of time but worth it ! I love Earls color, it is very unique from other parti babies we’ve had. I think he’s going to be FABULOUS!!

Our Lexie and Jack baby Monet/Jezabel and her black parti sister Juno attended the Animal Mega March and ended up in the Detroit news! Jezabel looks so much like her great grandma Jazz!! Acts like her too she is stuck like glue to their human baby girl. I love seeing our babies in their wonderful forever homes. Alls well here. Babies are growing like weeds and getting cuter/sweeter every day. We have available babies, some of our deposits need to wait for next year. And some want to wait for Grace babies. We also didn’t expect our girls to bless us with two wonderful litters of ten! I raised our price because vet and food is costing more but think I’ll increase our second puppy discount as well ( currently $100). We love our babies going to homes that already know how wonderful our babies are 🙂

My sweet Gracie. She gladly cleans up our messy babies and as a bonus finishes the goo. She licks so hard she knocks them over haha. She has not met Rene’s babies yet. Rene doesn’t seem eager to share her babies. She tolerates me feeding them. She has been a really good mom, second only to Poppy ( who gently nipped our visitors to remind them they do not have permission to reach for her puppies). We are enjoying puppy breath!!

Well time for my favorite activity, introduction to goo. It’s a mess but very amusing😊 the babies are so darn cute licking the food off each other and then there is my helper Gracie who cares for them like they are her own. We went outside a couple times but the first few trips out side they just cry. So much to do when you’re an adorable baby!
