The Penny Candies at Three Weeks

Pricilla Pixie Stix and Rocketdog Rockford Rhoades has brought us some wonderful and widly varied pups. This is Pixie's first litter so it is nigh on impossible to tell what is going to turn up until they show up. So far we have a wonderful bunch of fur bearing critters and no health issues at all.

The Candies are all growing at about the right rate, as judged by weight, though every litter is different. We expect them to grow quickly and these all have. If someone appears to be falling behind they get a bit of extra attention and some time to catch up. We clipped all the little nails and weighed everyone for this three week check-up. They will be given their doctor's visit in mid-March. Our next evaluation is the Six Week Final Evaluation at six weeks. 

Each pup show whether he or she has a family or not in the title. If you have an interest in knowing more please call Ann at 503-351-0212 and we'll tell you anything you want to know.

It usually happens, just after their little eyes come open and their little legs get under them, that a few intrepid souls slip the bonds of their Whelping Pool and go out looking for Momma. It is an exciting milestone which triggers our taking out the protection of the pool and lets the real fun begin. They all started running yesterday so it was just a matter of when.

There are still four of these little beauties available for families interested in having some fun. Just call Ann at 503-351-0212 or use the email widget on the page and we'll put two and two together. 

We Have Peepers!

We See You Too!
 Ain't it neat?

 There is a milestone in all of our lives which we often just assume is nature's way and so sort of mundane and we don't celebrate it for what it is. One of those things is the day our eyes open for the first time. Sort of a big deal when you stop to think about it. Something deserving a moment of appreciation at least . . .

Today our little Penny Candies have started opening their eyes and we always celebrate the day by picking each one up as we see their eyes open and exclaim "Peepers!" and the say hello to this newly aware lump of poop and fur and need and joy.  Congratulations Penny Candies: 

Well Hello Little Peepers!
