Kodiak and Bailey are too good for the box now. They get a treat tonight! I am a little apprehensive about them possibly breaking the bones and trying to swallow larger pieces. I don’t want them to get hurt, but II want to spoil them. Bailey just licks off the sauce and tries to chew on his. Kodiak actually eats his! Please no haters! I was very surprised at how fast he demolished that bone, and took the other bone away because I was concerned. Oh well. btw, Kodiak is fine today. It stopped raining finally, so I got to spend some time outside with them, running. They will sleep well tonight! Thanks for watching!!!

I have to start by apologizing for the long hiatus! I did not intend for it to take this long. 2 Jobs will suck the life right out of you!!! I just thought I would post a video to kinda get the ball rolling. I have tons of emails, comments, and friend requests to trudge through. I want to make a playdate happen! I hope a few of the owners will want to get together soon. We shall see! Please tell us how your puppy is doing!

Sorry this is late. I am having upload issues. The puppies are now responding to sounds. They are still waddling around, but should soon start to walk. I have started cleaning the box 3 times per day. I line the “potty” side of the box with newspaper, and I put the pups there while I clean the whelping side. A couple of them wet the paper. They are really challenging Mocha’s ability to keep them clean. The amount of elimination from the pups has increase quite a bit and Mocha has had an upset stomach the last two nights. The puppies are growing fast and need more from Mocha, so we increased her food again. She gets puppy food, cottage cheese and eggs in the morning and at dinner time. Midday and at night we put out dry puppy food. She has been eating most of it. It is also helping to settle her stomach, and I have been getting better sleep! The first 3 weeks, the puppies mostly eat sleep and poop. So, needless to say, it is a challenge to capture exciting footage. As they get a little older, they will start to play more. The videos are just a simple log. 5 to 10 minutes of footage each day until they are ready to go home with their new families! I hope you enjoy them! Please rate and comment! John@FetchinPups.com

In this video you can see how much the puppies are playing! Despite being off from work today, It was a long day! Four of the puppies went home to their new families today! (Reese, Knox, Remy and Ms Purple). This Saturday, we will puppy-sit Remy so she can visit Dr Barker next Thursday with the rest. I think you will all enjoy the video. Thanks for watching! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!! btw, Mocha is doing well. We have her outside when any puppy goes home. We will have at least one puppy until January 11th. At least 2 through January 4th. She has been paying close attention lately (since we took the pups to Dr Barker). I am not sure she has noticed yet, but I am sure in a week, she will look around for them a bit. We will smother her with attention and lots of exercise! It is hard to believe, but by the time you can watch this, the puppies will be one day of 5 weeks old! We gave them their 3rd dose of Strongid-T dewormer today. Here are their weights as of earlier today. Knox 8lbs 8 1/8oz Remy 7lbs 12 3/4 oz Reese 7lbs 9 1/4 oz Ms Purple 7lbs 5 1/8oz (Maybe Pebbles) Mr Brown 7lbs 4 1/8oz Ivey 6lbs 13 1/2oz Clementine 6lbs 5 3/8oz Miley 6lbs 11 1/4oz Sawyer 6lbs 6 3/4oz Mr Camo 5lbs 14 1/8oz (He’s gaining on them!)

I love playing with the puppies! They have so much energy. I am not training them to eat shoes, but I think they will be good at it! Thanks for Watching!

I am so glad Mocha was in a playful mood! The pups were trying to drink from her again. I am trying to remind her not to let them. She started making it a game, playing defense. Sofun to watch and to get her going! Thanks for watching!

The puppies are mad at me at the start! I put the pups in the “potty” side of the box and cleaned the box. A couple of them pooped and made a mess, so now I am giving them all a sponge bath! Listen to them howl! Mocha is such a good mommy! She will clean them if I do nothing, but I prefer to help her out.

The puppies act like I don’t feed them. They are pestering Mocha pretty good today! Mocha showing her hatred of wet grass! She’s fine in the lake, but needs coaxing to walk on wet grass! She is so funny sometimes. The puppies make it hard on me today! Hilarious! I need a cameraman! Bailey and Kodiak steal the show. They take pruning to a whole new level! Thanks for watching!

Another of the daily video series! Puppies get puppy food for the second time and they emphatically tell me to feed them more! I am trying to ease the food into their diets, so their bodies don’t have trouble with elimination. They are really starting to get cute! Puppy breath is my Kryptonite.
