Four Weeks Old

4/26/24

This past week we have been learning new things to make transitioning to our home a lot easier for our future family. We are getting used to crating individually and we spend time on the grooming table each day getting used to being brushed, experiencing air blowing on us from the force dryer and the feeling of a vibrating clipper. We had our first official bath and blow dry today, it felt great to be pampered by Miss Sharilyn! Enjoy the new pics and video!

Three Weeks Old

4/19/24

This has been a big week! Our eyes are now fully open and we are beginning to respond to Brisa and Marisa when they take us through our daily training. A litter box has been added to our nursery room and we are already searching it out to go potty in! We also finished up our Neurological Stimulation exercises and Brisa and Marisa have started the next phase of our training and conditioning. Holding, cuddling and walking around during this development stage helps us to learn to be secure when being carried and handled.

At 21 days our ears began to open and we can now hear. We don’t know much about science but research says that during the first week of hearing puppies have very little startle response to loud noises so Janet makes sure to take advantage of this time to begin conditioning us to accept these noises while we are eating. Doing something pleasant while we hear, startle and recover conditions us to ignore the scary noises that we will encounter in our future life. Daily sound conditioning will continue at each of our meals until we go home to our new family. We are getting used to hearing:

• The sound of a running vacuum, force blow dryer and clippers

• Slamming doors, gates and dropped objects

• Honking horn and running car engine

• CD containing noises such as thunder, wind storm, alarm clock, lawn mower, power saw, buzzers, bells, children playing, thumps, babies crying, bumps and much more.
  
  Next week we will show video clips of us getting bathed and dried. Enjoy this weeks’ pictures and video of us eating!

Two Weeks Old

4/10/24

Over the past week, we have really gained a lot of healthy weight and are starting to crawl around.

Brisa and Marisa are finishing up our Early Neurological Stimulation exercises and we are responding very well! Each day we accept the exercises a little bit better, giving us the perfect start towards developing a temperament that can go in whatever direction you need, whether it be for therapy, diabetic/seizure alert or as an excellent family companion. Click on the bold link to read over a more scientific description of the process and to watch a short video by author, trainer and AKC judge, Dr. Carmin Battaglia.

Our next litter update will be a video of us eating for the first time at three weeks of age. Enjoy our pictures and video showing us doing our Early Neurological Stimulation exercises, aren’t we adorable!

Newborn

3/29/24

Rihanna gave birth to seven beautiful and healthy puppies, three females and four males! She had an easy delivery with Ron and Janet’s help and was given oxytocin to expel any retained afterbirth and penicillin to ward off infection. Mama is recovering nicely and so far everyone is doing great!

Below are pictures and a video of the three little girls, Janet will begin contacting clients for decisions on moving their names to a particular gender group. Enjoy watching these puppies as they grow, expect weekly updates to be added to the nursery by each Friday.

Pregnancy Confirmed!

12/06/23

Great news, Rihanna and Murphey have been confirmed for pregnancy, the vet saw about eight puppies and said that everything looks great! We thought that you all might enjoy seeing the actual ultrasound so that you can watch the entire process from the very beginning.

Due around 3/29/24, we will announce the happy news of birth when the puppies are about a week old then will contact families to have each one decide whether they want to reserve a specific color/gender from Rihanna’s litter or to remain on the reserve list to consider the next litter. Enjoy the ultrasound video! - Janet
