September 21st

We are in the process of weaning all the puppies. I like them weaned 1 week before they go so they have a chance to be on just dog food here for 1 week and I can see how they eat. Tootsie’s puppies will be weaned by the weekend at the lastest. Hers are all doing very well. They are hungry little things in the morning whining and begging for breakfast. They have woken us up all week wanting breakfast.

Millies puppies will be weaned within 1 week from now. I will gradually increase the time she is outside away from her puppies and start having her sleep in a crate without them starting tonight. Last night she wanted out at bedtime. That’s a good sign it’s time to wean.

Muffin and Sophie’s puppies are just beginning weaning. I’ll wean them over the next week to week and a half. I will only bring the Momma’s in 2 or 3 times today and will reduce that to none over the next 10 days or so.

So- it won’t be long and the Momma’s will be done with their little charges….and they’ll soon be ready for their new homes. We are going to miss the puppies!

On the bright side- Izzy and Charlie were bred and Izzy’s due date is November 22nd!
