Pups are 4 days old!!!! Their noses and toes have turned black. Umbilical cords have fallen off. They love to cuddle with mom, each other and toys. And they LOVE to eat! They are very vocal and let mom know when it’s time to eat.

There is plenty of milk to go around and they are gaining LOTS of weight. Grinch is our biggest pup with the biggest appetite. His name seems fitting 😂

Usually our pups are born around 16oz each. These little ones were on the small side (11.5-14oz). We are grateful for this as the smaller the litter, the larger the pups and the harder the labor. It worked out perfectly and we are so happy everyone is doing well. They are all over 20oz now.

I cannot even explain how proud of Rosie we are. Not only did she breeze through labor, she is a phenomenal mom. She cares for the pups so well, we literally have to do nothing. We often watch on a camera from other rooms and then sleep in the room with them at night. She’s such a good girl 🥰

Introducing our Grinch Litter! These little ones will be going to their new homes just after Christmas!

Rosie was a rockstar yesterday delivering all 4 pups in 1.5 hours. She and pups are doing well. She is an amazing momma and very attentive to her babies. There are 3 boys and 1 girl. Everyone has gained weight overnight. This was by far our easiest pregnancy and labor 🥰, which we are incredibly grateful for.

Follow along to watch these little ones grow🥰

Rosie’s temp is just starting to trickle down. We will likely see these little munchkins tomorrow. Copper and Rosie posed for a photo just now while Emmie can be seen splashing through the pool in the background 😂😂 Copper also had to dip half his body in the pool just before the photo 🙄

PUPDATE!!! Dusty (Swan 🦢) and Biscuit (Octopus 🐙) see each other often! Dusty’s mom says:

“Biscuit comes over almost every weekday while her mom and dad are at work, so these two lucky sisters get to spend tons of time growing up together! And they are having the BEST time!

Dusty is definitely our calm, quiet girl, while Biscuit is the goofy one who gets everybody all wound up and ready to play! 😂 They really are the perfect balance for each other.

Both girls are doing SO well with training! They’ve learned to settle quietly in their crates while I work during the day, and potty training has been going great! They can both already go potty AND poops on command, which still blows my mind!

They also both know sit, down, wait, “load up” (to go in their crates), and “settle” (for when the puppy crazies get a little out of hand 😂). They’ve also learned “easy,” to take treats gently instead of trying to bite my fingers off! 😂 And of course, they both know exactly what “cookie” means 🍪 Dusty has even learned to shake, and I know Biscuit won’t be far behind!

But my absolute FAVORITE thing they’ve learned is our little family tradition! With Andee and Bonnie, we accidentally trained that when their food is served, they sit and wait until they get a kiss on the nose. That kiss means they’re allowed to eat. Well, Dusty and Biscuit have already figured it out too!! So now we have four Goldens sitting patiently waiting for their kisses, and I swear it’s the cutest thing ever! 🥹

I just can’t get over how quickly these girls pick things up. They’re both so smart, sweet, and have such fun little personalities. It’s been so much fun watching them learn and grow, and I absolutely love that they get to do so much of it together!“

Andee (dark red pup in video) is also a pup from Maddie’s first litter!

Happy Halloween from Chucky! No wait… we mean Emmie 🫣. This costume couldn’t be more perfect for her at 14.5 weeks old 😂

It’s crazy to think that 13 weeks ago our little Mingo 🦩 was 8oz. She is now 19.1 pounds. Her little tiny pink collar just barely fits as a bracelet around her wrist now. She has gotten so big and boy is she is charge. Maddie is a very calm pup and often doesn’t play with everyone else. We find Maddie and Emmie playing all the time. The bond they have is awesome 🥰
