Here is a photo dump of pics from the last week. As you scroll you’ll see that Pisco has a preferred way of sleeping. 😂 You’ll also see that we have puppies who are getting little slits of their eyes open. They will soon have open ears and eyes!

A quick update on the babies.

Our cuties are 1 week old today. I didn’t think they looked too different until I compared their pics. They have all grown by leaps and bounds this week. Coming up this week we should start to see them become a little less wobbly on their feet and they might even start putting their back legs up under them instead of doing an army crawl.

We started ENS and ESI a few days ago. We do this with each litter from days 3-16. Early Neurological Stimulation can help improve cardiovascular performance, give them stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and a greater resistance to disease. Early Scent Introduction provides nose awareness and confidence, which is great for hunting, tracking, and alert dogs.

Our biggest baby next to our smallest baby. Pisco weighs 18.2oz and Twilight weighs 10.4 oz. They have been the biggest and smallest since the beginning with Pisco gaining a lot everyday. He’s a big boy! Look at the head difference!

Introducing The Legacy Litter!
Our theme for this litter took some time. After we lost our sweet puppy, Luna, last year we had decided to do a litter theme in her honor. It was going to be Night Sky themed because Luna got her name from the color of her fur which looked kind of like a Milky Way bar. Then when we got the due date of August 10th, everything changed. August 10th was my dad's birthday. This was his first heavenly birthday since he passed away last December. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to honor his memory too. He loved our pups and even had one himself from our Christmas Cookie litter. Having been born in Peru, my dad loved sharing his culture with us and especially with his grandkids. We had a hard time narrowing down some of our favorite Peruvian things that reminded us of him. A few names that didn't make the final cut included Empanada, Lucuma, Dulce, Nazca, Lima, Guanabana, and Limon. We wanted more puppies to include all the names that brought sweet memories to mind. I couldn't decide which litter theme to go with, so we had Luna and my dad share the theme. The Legacy Litter stuck out to me. Not just because I'm a fan of alliteration, but also because both Luna and my dad (also known as Papito to his grandkids) have made an impact on our lives and their legacy lives on in how they have become part of us, of our story. Our litter themes are not usually so meaningful to us, but losing life is made a little less bitter by the sweetness of being blessed with new life. These precious babes remind me of how beautiful life is when it's spent with humans and furry friends we love and who love us. Thank you for coming with us on our beautiful journey of raising these puppies! Here they are in the order of their birth.

I think that’s a wrap. We have 8 beautiful babies, 5 boys and 3 girls. Stay tuned for our litter theme and their names.

🚨We are officially in a Puppy Watch.🚨Everything required for puppies to arrive is prepared. We have puppy pads, the whelping area prepared, an unknowing Auntie Juju, a very pregnant mama, and a temp lower than 99 (which signals puppies will arrive within 24 hours). We will keep you posted when we are officially in a Puppy Warning. Be prepared for extreme levels of cuteness coming to your feed. You may experience moments of overwhelming desire to bring a puppy home.

How many spines do you see? Belle had her X-rays for puppy count today. Tell us how many you think you see. We have less than a week until puppies arrive! We treated mom with a pup cup on the way home and then she crashed on the couch, showing off her very full tummy.

Happy 1st birthday to all our Flora & Fauna puppies!! 🐶 🎉 🐾 They sure have grown over the past year!! All the pups are bigger than their mom, most weighing in at 40-45 lbs. (Belle is 30 and their dad is 35). The pups who had parti markings still have them, but our lighter pups have gotten so dark. Fur color will continue to change as they age though. We are planning on Belle having another litter this coming fall. (We are of course at the mercy of whenever she goes into heat). We’ll keep you all posted. If you would like to be added to our list of interested puppy parents please let me know and I’ll send you an interest form. Happy birthday puppies! We miss your tail wags and kisses.
