Puppy life...the first three weeks are pretty quiet. The only real milestones are when eyes and ears open at around two weeks, and then first tail-wags (so adorable! ๐Ÿ˜) at around 3 weeks. That's also when they are usually ready to transition out of the whelping box.

We do ENS daily on days 3-16 and spend lots of time just handling, petting, and snuggling these little guys to let them know how welcome and loved they are.

Week four is when things get a little more active. That's where we are now! By now they are bumbling around and learning to play. We've already introduced their astroturf and they're learning to use it for elimination. We're hearing lots of puppy barks and growls while they're at play, and we're getting a handle on each little personality: introvert/extrovert? Active/calm? Confident/laid back? Any potential therapy candidates?

๐Ÿ“ธSometime during weeks three and four, we also snap their first studio photos! This group really was amazing for their session.

My daughter, Bekah, does our informal temperament assessments during week four. Can't wait for that milestone, coming soon!

Enoch has been counting down the days ever since we confirmed that Midge was expectingโ€ฆ and she absolutely did not disappoint. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค๐ŸคŽ

(This answers the question I've been asked a bunch: "๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—œ๐—ก๐—œ ๐—”๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐——๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€?" These will be our mini-est yet! ๐Ÿ™‚)

At 15 years old, Enoch takes a lot of pride in helping care for the dogs here at Carrier Family Doodles, but Midge is especially his girl. Watching her become a mama has been extra special for him.

These beautiful Aussie Mountain Doodle puppies have already been keeping him busy โ€” especially the tiniest little girl, โ€œItsy Bitsy.โ€ She may be small, but sheโ€™s mighty, and Enoch has been doing supplemental syringe feedings to help make sure she keeps up with her daily weight gain goals.

Midge is doing an amazing job, and Enoch is pretty smitten with this whole bunch already.

This sweet girl was dreamed about for a long time. Her new owner and his wife began following our journey in 2024, excited to someday welcome a โ€œretirement puppyโ€ together. But life took an unexpected turn, and after a cancer diagnosis shortly before retirement, his beloved wife passed away late last year.

Last Saturday, Hope went home.

Complete with the tri-color Snuggle Puppy he picked out just for her. ๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿค

Weโ€™re praying this little girl brings comfort, companionship, and many reasons to smile again.

When we puffed their favorite yak chew...and suddenly nobody knew what to do with it! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was today years old when I learned that when our puppies get down to the end of their yak chews, I can soak them, microwave them, and turn them into a "puff" that is safe to eat!

I was NOT prepared for the response!

Confusion...suspicion...WAIT A MINUTE! In the end, it was all good.

May 14, 2021--A special day in Carrier Family Doodles' history!

I went into the month of May remembering, but by the 12th, our Belle was having a gorgeous bunch of squeaky, squiggly Merles, tuxedoes, and tri-colors.

The 14th came and went without fanfare, unfortunately.

BUT, today (now that we're getting a chance to catch our breath after a flurry of activity!), I'm remembering again.

May 14, 2021, we welcomed our very first group of mini Golden Mountain Doodles, from Carly and Jackpot (both now retired).

The last 5 years have been full of wonderful connections, 350+ adorable pups, too many puppy snuggles and kisses to count, and a growing number of 5-star reviews.

We have consistently improved our program with the goal of making a perfect match every time, with every puppy being a blessing to his or her new family. It hasn't all been perfect or easy, but for sure we are very blessed. We wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who has trusted in Carrier Family Doodles over the years. We appreciate you!

PS: That adorable, dimpled boy you see everywhere on our Carrier Family Doodles website, paperwork, and marketing materials? That's our son, Marc, with Mittens, from this very first litter of puppies. He is now 8 years old, and still loves our puppies.

These little Golden Mountain Doodles arrived last week, and life around here just got a whole lot sweeter. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

Right now they mostly eat, sleep, squeak, and pile up on top of each otherโ€ฆ and honestly, we could sit and watch them all day. Mama is doing such a good job with them already.

Itโ€™s always amazing how fast these tiny babies change in the first few weeks, so weโ€™re enjoying this quiet and blessed time. ๐Ÿ’›
