Happy June y’all! The puppies tried mush for the first time yesterday – tomorrow they turn four weeks and introducing food is just one of the next steps to getting them ready for their next stage. Mush consists of dry puppy food blended into a mushy liquid form with water and canned pumpkin. The puppies love it and their Mama loves finishing up what they have leftover!

As the puppies get older they continue to sleep most every hour of the day but they have moments of wakefulness where they play and wrestle together and RUN! They are starting to explore the puppy room too – they climb and crawl under surfaces and find little hiding spots. All that action calls for many naps! In the coming days we will slowly introduce a bigger play area with toys – we move fairly slowly in the coming weeks as to not overwhelm the babies as there is no rush and we want them to take their time to develop properly!

June has been a very hot month already with temps around 105 each day so we are still limiting outdoor time for the rest of our pack. When we introduce the newest litter to the outdoors it will be at sunup and sundown. They have taken well to their inside grass – potty learning is an important part of life here – our hope is always that our commitment to starting potty training so early will help them transition quickly in their next home.

Our Riverdale litter will turn one on the 3rd of July and we are so excited for a wonderful first year. We love watching them grow up and we adore seeing pictures of them and hearing stories about the pups!

Sending lots of love your way for an exciting and eventful summer! Xoxo
