New Puppies!

           We have puppies!! Ellie went into labor in the evening of August 30^th, and delivered four puppies.  She had a black pup, then two golden pups, then one more black pup.  She did great and soon had all puppies washed and nursing. 

 

 

            The two black puppies developed personalities within the first week.  One of the black puppies, a boy we are calling Winter, gained weight rapidly, and is now almost twice the size of the other puppies.  In the beginning, he had a tendency to wander off into the middle of the area they are in, and then cry hysterically because he didn’t know how to get back to Mom.  We had already decided on seasons for names for the pups, and we decided he was Winter because he was Whiny (I love alliteration!).  Thankfully, he has since stopped that habit, and now is notable because of his size, and because he likes to sleep on his back.  He is so round he often has trouble rolling back onto his front.

            The other black puppy is our runt.  She had some trouble latching at first, but has since figured out how to eat and now is gaining weight.  She would also cry a lot in the beginning, mostly because Winter (who is twice her size), liked to snuggle on top of her, and she ended up squished.  We call her Autumn, and she is very sweet.

Autumn!

            The golden twins, Spring and Summer, are starting to develop personalities.  In the beginning, they were notable for the fact that they were always touching.  Even when they were each snuggling with a black pup, they would still be somehow touching.  Most of the time they snuggled together.  They are now starting to show more personality, mostly by crying and running a lot in their sleep.  They are both a lovely blonde color.  Spring is a girl.  Summer is a boy, and he appears to have slightly lighter paws than Spring.  They have for the most part remained the same size.

            I will continue to post updates on the puppies as the weeks go by, especially as their personalities develop more. 

            The puppies will be available October 31^st.  We will be selling the puppies for $600 a pup, and will take a deposit to hold them.  If you are interested in the puppies or have any questions please feel free to email us at jancapups@yahoo.com or leave a comment.
