Puppy Updates

The puppies will be seven weeks this Wednesday, which means they'll only be one week away from their forever homes. We're getting a little sad :( but know that they're going to make their new families VERY happy :) Here's an impromptu group photo of them, with labels:

It's amazing how much LESS we have to train them than Mocha's first litter, Chubby and Tubby because they learn SO much from each other. They're becoming familiar with their potty pads and are pretty good at aiming :) It's like clockwork... They go:

-When they wake up
-Before they go to sleep
-After they play
-After they eat

House training a dog is a lot of work, but when it comes down to it, it's all about knowing your pup and repetition. As long as you take them outside (or in our case, place a potty pad down) before/after any of the times listed above, then s/he will get used to it and go on the spot. Try it ;)

Anyway, Marley was the first born and it definitely shows. He's definitely the most-curious and the most-influential. Here he is, peering over the "barrier" we put up between their play are and the non-play area:


He's definitely searching for a way to get to the other side. He even got his brother, Adobe, Jr. involved:


Here are all the chocolates. Realizing that they can't get over the barrier, rendezvous-ing on their pillow is usually the safest (and warmest) bet:


And back to Marley... he got over, but was pooped in the process. He made himself so tired that he put himself to sleep:


Works for us :)

Marley and Peanut (red, males) are both still available for pickup on 12/24. We also have one chocolate female available for pick up to. They'd be GREAT last-minute Christmas presents (I guess you can try to stuff them in stockings, but that'd be too obvious).

E-mail us for more info! Have a great week.
