It is officially fall! 
(Even though it's raining like spring with the temperatures of summer!)
And if you know me it all, you know I love a good "theme."
I couldn't wait a single day longer to do the pumpkin photo shoot! 

Everyone is doing great! This is such a sweet litter. These will certainly be some hard goodbyes. 

This week we will transition everyone to their own crate and crack down on house training!

Look at those beautiful puppy coats! Everyone is looking and feeling so soft. 

They have all officially made the transition from being more interested in each other to being more interested in interacting with the people! They are always trying to win over human attention. Luckily, there is a lot of people in this family, so we have plenty of love to go around! 

This week we will begin crate training and house training! This is a huge milestone and a big sign that our time with them is coming to an end! In just two short weeks, many of these babies will be meeting their forever families. 

Look at them grow!
It's only been a few days since their last pictures and they all look so much bigger.
We started puppy food and every loves meal time.
There is very rarely any leftovers with this crew!

Individual blogs have been updated to give a little insight into some personality traits we are seeing so far! Please keep in mind, they are still so young! We will continue to share updates as they continue to grow and personalities evolve. 

The whole crew got to go outside to play this morning!
Everyone loved it. 
This video was taken as soon as we let them out. 
The green stuff all around definitely caught their attention first!
While no one ever ventured far from the pack or the people, 
once they thoroughly investigated the grass,
they all had a great time pouncing on each other and climbing up and around the little people!

Our little crew is 4 weeks old!
It is hard to believe they have already spent half of their time with us. 
This week, I posted our traditional sign pictures. (ALWAYS my favorite!)
I plan to take some detailed personality notes over the next few days and I will update by Wednesday with early personality characteristics that we are seeing from each pup.
​Check back!

My computer died, so I am behind this week! 
I wanted to jump on from my cell real fast and let everyone know puppy blogs will be updated tomorrow. 
It's been a busy week!
We have upgraded from the whelping box to the puppy pen... or "the puppy palace" as my girls like to call it.
I can't wait to show off how much they have grown. 

Look how they've grown! 
Eyes and ears are wide open and we are all strong enough to sit up pretty and explore the whelping box! 
If you missed the video of the puppies playing, look at the previous blog! 
The very beginning stages of play has begun!
It will only get more and more fun from here.

Eyes are open!
(Some still more than others, but I couldn't wait any longer to share.)

Eyes opened up and these pups began to move! 
So, they have been upgraded to the bigger pool.
They still spend most of their time sleeping in a puppy pile, 
but they have the space to move around when they want to.
