Living the good life right here. I wish I was a dog!!
Whiskey discovering what he looks like in the camera with my oldest daughter is pretty stinking cute!!
So we sing with the puppies on a daily. Especially my oldest who actually is very musically talented. They often respond very positively trying to sing with her and/or howl. She also plays the piano at bedtime which let's them know it's bedtime usually and they all sack out.
Stay tuned for puppy line up and temp names till they go to forever homes. Our Deby litter eyes are opened and they are trying to walk!!
Lots of inquiries about how momma and pups are doing with only 11 active teats and 16 puppies. All are doing really amazing! No puppies are showing any signs of failure to thrive or like they aren't getting enough. Even with this number of pups momma gets breaks as needed! We've got them split into 2 good groups but will only have a few on momma at a time if pups are content to give Felicia a break. Felicia even got a couple hour nap with daddy Dexter late last night while all pups were content. She needed that connection from him!
Excuse my voice, sleep deprivation and spring humidity has me loosing my voice.
We are have puppies coming!! Puppy #1 was the lighter female, pink collar. This puppy could be a sable fawn or grey/blue/violet. The 2nd pupp, green collar is a mantle male!!
Feeling the puppies move. Momma is still actively eating and going out to bark at all the things. Not there yet but getting closer!! Excuse my dirty self. I was out mowing and digging in the dirt and mulching all day!
Momma dog is getting close. I'm thinking probably 72 hrs max and we will be in labor with her!!
Playing all day in the sun!!
Soaking up some rays and enjoying the nice weather before it gets rainy and cold again!! Tired happy puppies!!
Here's a short clip of Bluey. He's a sweet yet rambunctious big boy. He loves to play and is very curious about everything. He sits and does down very well. We are currently working on stay but attention span and distractions hasn't been on our side.
Any of my friends in KY, if your making a turkey tomorrow or anytime over the weekend and are willing to save your bones for me, I will come by same or next day and pick them up from you. I'll be using them to make turkey broth for doggos! Comment here or shoot me a message and I'll set up a time that would be good for pick up!! Thank you so much in advance!
Bone broth has some of the best collagen in it to support bone and joint health. Joint health is super important for Large and Giant breeds like Great Danes. Hip Dysplasia is so common in large/giant breeds but can be easily preventable through good genetics and preventative health. Vitamins D3, collagen and calcium are the best vitamins for joint and bone health. I even take these myself on a daily! Did you know D3 is really only productive for bone health in a large dose. I take 10,000IU's a day. When looking into suppliments or other foods for your doggos with good joint and bone building elements talk to your vet about what your doggos needs are and is the best way to go about it!!
Life is better with a Great Dane.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Here's a few pics and videos of out door play time to help with your serotonin production for the day🥰
