Frannie's puppies are six weeks old!

Frannie's puppies are six weeks old!

It’s the six-week milestone for Frannie’s gorgeous puppies! Here’s a cute little video on Instagram as they play during our photoshoot. (Bonus points if you can tell which pup got into the garden soil right before their photo shoot, LOL!)

Time is flying these days, and these pups are really coming into their personalities this week. They are officially full-blown puppies, are super independent, and don’t need their momma quite as much now.

Their chubby bellies (and their growth spurts) are letting us know that they enjoy the softened puppy chow, and they are pretty much hitting the mark on potty training most of the time too!

We are taking a lot of notes to prepare for temperament testing next week and begin the allocation process for our families.

It’s an exciting time, and we know they are just as excited as we are to find out which puppy matches them best.

Congrats to these pups for reaching the five-week-old milestone! These cuties have made it all the way to “think they are much bigger than they actually are” town. You can watch this cute little video of them on Instagram to see what they think about sitting on an old ice cream chair for this week’s photo shoot instead of being outside in the sunshine. (Spoiler alert: They didn’t love it. LOL.)

They are so playful, happy, bundles of joy right now, and this is when it starts getting really fun! They weren’t too happy they couldn’t romp around outside with the big storm, but quickly discovered they could romp around a whole house instead! 😅 (They are really into rugs right now, by the way).

They’ve are officially LOVING life and have got the hang of puppyhood now.

Frannie is able to take a lot more time for herself these days. She is always close by, but we think she is enjoying this stage a lot, too.

Frannie's puppies are four weeks old!

These gorgeous pups have officially reached their halfway home milestone! Four weeks old is such a big week around here, and it always feels like the puppies wake up one morning just a little bit more like “real puppies.”

This week has been full of exciting firsts. They’re learning how to eat softened kibble, drink fresh water, and even start using the litter box. Frannie is getting a few more well-deserved breaks these days, but she still keeps a close eye on her babies and happily tops off their chunky little bellies with warm milk whenever someone starts fussing for mom.

Their energy levels have definitely kicked up a notch, although they aren’t entirely sure what to do with all that enthusiasm yet! Their bodies seem to be growing faster than their brains and legs can keep up with, which makes for the cutest awkward stage ever. Lots of wobbly walking, surprise tumbles, and those classic “all paws and no coordination” moments. We always laugh because this stage feels a lot like Grade 2 school photos. Adorable, slightly awkward, and absolutely unforgettable.

Today was another big milestone because the puppies met the great outdoors for the very first time! There were so many new sounds, smells, textures, and things to explore that it was a LOT to take in. Some were brave and curious, some needed a little extra reassurance, and all of them came back inside completely tuckered right out afterward. You can check out a little Instagram Reel of them being outside for the first time right over here!

We are already so in love with this little crew and cannot wait to watch their personalities continue to shine through over the next few weeks.

Frannie's puppies are three weeks old!

Happy three weeks to these sweet little puppies! They are officially eyes wide open and finally have the energy to explore all the new things they are seeing these days. 

Lots of naps in between of course. They are officially getting introduced to softened kibble, fresh water, and even litter box training this week and we know they are going to NAIL IT…eventually!

By this time next week, they will be well on their way to being puppy pros.

Frannie's puppies are two weeks old!

These gorgeous pups are already 2 weeks old and so, so sweet! We’re in love with their colours, and of course, their cuddles and sweet little puppy noises. You can see them toddling about on Instagram!

We are starting to see a little brown pop through on a couple of the black puppies (which they totally got from their Dad!)

They are very content these days and spend most of their time napping and eating, and also just piling on top of one another and mommy too. Their eyes are mostly open now, and they’re toddling around really well on all fours, especially when it comes to meal times or finding the best nap spot.

You can see their litter call names if you view this post on a desktop, too!

Whelp… it’s official. Frannie’s puppies are already one week old, and somehow the days are moving faster than our sleep-deprived brains can keep up. 😅

And speaking of sleep deprivation… we have an important correction to make: after a very tired first-week puppy count, we officially have 4 boys and 4 girls! Apparently puppy math gets a little questionable on limited sleep.

These little babes are spending most of their days doing what newborn puppies do best: sleeping, snuggling close to momma, piling on top of each other, and making frequent trips to the milk bar. Between naps, they’re slowly beginning to take in the world around them one tiny squeak at a time.

Frannie continues to be the sweetest, most attentive mama. She’s absolutely soaking up every cuddle and is so proud of her babies. She’s even started letting the kiddos climb into the pen for gentle kisses and snuggles, which melts us completely every single time.

We can’t believe how much they’ve already changed in just one week, and we know the fun is only just beginning.
