The A Litter is 18 days old today. The puppies are really going through a fun stage where they are becoming aware of the world around them and at the same time learning how to walk around and control their little bodies. The past few days have seen lots of “firsts”; the first eyes to [...]

The third week album has been created and pictures are now available. The pup’s third week lasts until next Tuesday, but I went ahead and posted the ones I have so far.

The pups were pretty active this morning. Everyone was alert and moving around the box checking out their surroundings. Red was in a playful mood, and tried to pick a fight with a stuffed toy.

Pictures from the pup’s second week are available in the Gallery.

Yesterday was the A Litter’s first Christmas! All four have their eyes open now. The ears are beginning to open as well and the pups will respond to sudden loud sounds.

The rest of the Week One pictures are up for Marcello & Zeppe’s litter.

So far everyone is doing great. The pups have doubled their birth weights in the last week. Momma Zeppe caught on around day 4 that she doesn’t need to sit in the box 24/7 and nurse the pups. She still spends most of her time there, but doesn’t need coaxing to go on a potty [...]

I created this blog intending to use it to chronicle my first litter, and I am so excited that time has come! Zeppe is settling in nicely as a new mom, and I am learning how little sleep I can function on.
Mom & pups had a big event today. Everyone was rounded up and [...]
