7 & 8 Weeks Old

The Final Days With the Puppies!

This experience has been memorable for sure. I will say, my patience has truly been tested, these last few weeks. My emotions have also been put on a roller coaster ride. On one hand I'm very happy to be seeing them go to their new homes. On the other hand I'm extremely sad to be seeing them leave. When we started on this journey with Sofie and Ali I mentally prepared myself for long nights, getting up really early, being worried about Sofie and her pups, or potentially having a pup not make it. I feel like I had prepared for anything. What I wasn't prepared for was the feeling of loss. I even purposely didn't give the puppies names so I wouldn't get too attached. Before I knew it though the nail polish colors I used to color code them with were not colors anymore. Red became Mr. Red. Green turned into Greenie, and Sparkles into Sparky. Maroon took on the name Mr. Man. Coral, Purple, and Mustard all sounded more like names than they did colors. That's why Pink will be named Pinky, because nothing else seems to fit.
To everyone getting a puppy, I would absolutely love it if you could send me photos every now and then either through email, text or on the Facebook group I made for us. Sofie, Ali and I would love to see updates on the puppies. The link to the Facebook group and YouTube Channel are below.

Now for some fun information. The puppies all had really good first vet visits. They all got their first shots being DAPP or DHPP. Their last round of deworming from me will be given on Friday. They should continue deworming until they are 12 weeks of age. Deworming medicine is given every other week. For anyone wondering what I feed them, it's Nutrisource Small & Medium Puppy food. Sofie gets Nutrisource Adult Chicken and Rice with some homemade food my parents and I make from a recipe my Mom found. I recommend looking into the food you feed your dog to make sure it's right/good for them.
Thank you for an awesome, crazy, fun, joyful, sort of sad, but also really happy experience. One that I'm sure I won't forget. Even if we do another litter the first one will always be in my memory. I wish a long and happy life to the puppies. I also hope they don't cause their new mom's and dad's too much trouble!
