Here it is, December 12th, and the puppies are now 6 weeks of age. Due to the reality that my Mother, her fall, broken hip, surgery, hospitalization, and preparation for her rehabilitation has taken an inordinate amount of time to deal with from almost 2,000 miles, the current puppy weights are posted below. Should time become available, we will try to take and post pictures, but it may be next week before new pictures are available and we are back on track. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Now for puppy news. Not only are they growing fast body wise, their teeth are really starting to come in and Gisella can’t be in to nurse more than a minute or so until those tiny razors make their impressions and she is ready to bolt. Thick fur, big bright eyes, healthy appetites for their Science Diet Puppy soft food, and an ongoing game of chase, tumble, face chewing, ear gnawing and any other game they invent for themselves. When I get in the enclosure in the nursery and lay down with them, it is like the invasion of the lilliputians, crawling all over me. This is the payoff of having puppies for me. And all that puppy breath…intoxicating.

Current weights:
Timmy: 3 pounds 11 ounces
Estee: 2 pounds 13 ounces
Posey: 2 pounds 7 ounces
Angel: 2 pounds 7 ounces
Madison: 2 pounds 13 ounces

Estee is having visitors this weekend, as she has not found who she is looking for, yet. Also, with my Mom’s hospitalization, it has put us behind on all but one interview for Estee and prospective owners since December 2nd.

Here is the link for our Bichon Frise Care Guide, which I co-authored several years ago, for our new owners as well as any dog owner.

Happy and safe Holidays to one and all!
