Well, Percy is not only a "drama king", but a sneaky, h***y menace!!! Do not let that cute face fool you!!!!!

Story time....

Piper is in heat. I am keeping them separated. I get home from work and lay down to take a nap (it is possible that Percy roofied me by slipping something into my water .. wouldn't put it past him). Piper is in bed with me (diaper on) and Penny. Bedroom door closed. Percy is in kitchen (gate closed). Wake up to Percy not only on my bed (claimed the kitchen gate I suspect)....diaper chewed thru in the "area".....and tied up with Piper, who clearly didn't try to alert me or "just say no". Penny did nothing to stop it. I feel this was a plot.

So, I guess we will see if plans will be altered and Barb City will have a winter 2026/27 litter instead of a summer/fall 2027 litter. I'm not thrilled about this, but a "back to back" litter is ok as long as that is not the norm. However it is not ideal. Piper is very healthy, and actually just got a checkup a few weeks ago. Still, I'm not happy with these plotters.

This may also be Percy's last litter, as I had planned on neutering him after "next time" and just using a stud with Piper down the road. After this occurrence, I'm almost positive a snipping is coming soon.

I guess stay tuned.....mark you calendars for 63 days out. Im hoping for a "not", but he only got her once on her 1st litter too. -Sigh-

And my little (and I mean little ....just 3 lbs at 14 weeks old) buddy Sprout, now Teddy (or Ted E. Bear in formal situations) went to his new home last week!!! I needed to find the perfect family for him, and boy did he get a good one!!!!

Congratulations to Sgt. Darius Casa and the House family for your new member!!!! As you can see in the video (1st comment), I think he will be having a lot of fun in his future!!! He's already checked out basketball games and put to work in the home office!!

Congratulations to Laura and Finn (Bud) who went home today!!! I could not be happier for the two of you and your new big brother Oliver!!!!!

I have been very remiss on posting Piper and Percy Spring litter, and I apologize for that. Sadly we lost Bloom, and that really threw me for a loop. However Sprout and Bud have done so well...and they are ready for their new homes!!!!

With that, congratulations to my cousin Laura for adding Bud (now Finn) to her family! Laura's 10 yr old Yorkie Oliver (also born in my home lol) is going to be a big brother!!! Finn will be going home after Laura's preplanned vacation! ❤️

Sprout is still available. He is charting to be on the smaller side, likely 5-7 lbs full grown (more like his sire Percy). He is about a pound under Finn currently, at just under 2.5 lbs presently. In the 4th pic you can see a big size difference in these two boys!! He has gotten his 2nd set of shots now, eating very well, and even learning p*e pads! I'll do a post with pics on him this weekend ....but if you want a small make toy (likely light red or apricot), this boy is fantastic!!!! PM me if interested in him (pet spay/ neuter contract only).

Again, congrats to Laura, Oliver, and Finn!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bud, our older boy is having a bit of issue keeping his back legs underneath him (called swimmers puppy syndrome). Good new is yesterday a quick field trip to our wonderful vet Dr. M . , and confirmed that it is totally correctable with some techniques and some exercises! New mat for the whelping box has been ordered, and he should be running and romping in no time!!!

Thanks to Dr. M and Rochelle Veterinary Clinic....you all are the best! Of course, we needed some field trip photos!!! He is absoloutly the SWEETEST boy!!!!!

I waited a few days to post until after their first vet visit ...but we have 3 gorgeous, precious toy poodle puppies!!!! Born 5/11/26, we have 1 girl and 2 boys 🩷💙💙.
I have decided on a Spring theme for names, so let me introduce you to Sprout, Bud, and Bloom!!!!!
Boys: Sprout was born at .30oz,
Bud was born at .32oz
Girl: Bloom was born at .34 oz.
All 3 are active and eating well. In fact, Bud has already overtaken his big sister in weight, and youngest Sprout is almost the same weight as Bloom now!!
Piper is a fantastic mamma, and Percy is just wondering why they can't play yet lol. Check out the cute video of them all snoozing and dreaming in comments.....

All 3 puppies are currently available with a 50% deposit on a pet only spay/neuter contract once they hit 2 weeks. Please message if interested!!
