Time is flying by - in 1 more month these pirates will be ready to venture to a new island! Their “mast” will be upgraded soon to a deck… and then to a ship! Haha. This will allow more room for them to play and explore but needs to be gradual to help litter box training! 

I have an opening for a special Partner Home for a male in Utah! If you are interested, please see my Partner Homes page, fill out my Questionnaire, or reach out to me. :)

I love seeing little peepers at this age! Their world is changing so quickly as they are adding vision and hearing to their senses. 

2 weeks!!! The little pirates are doing well. I keep checking multiple times a day for peepers . Any day, now! They are getting stronger trying to hold themselves up to move around and chasing after mom’s smell. Some of them are finding their voices…. and some are not shy to tell mom when they are lost, lol.

​We have been doing ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) since they were a few days old. I will share more about that soon. A few of these precious loot seeking pirates will be ready to adventure to their forever families/person after evaluations.

The Pirates of the Caribbean crew has officially made it through to 1 week old! This is great news for a breeder because these little nuggets are so vulnerable, fragile, and dependent at this age. So much can happen. Nourishment, safety, and warmth are so very important. Mom provides a lot of warmth but I also keep the temperature in my room higher for these cute kiddos. Yes, I love a cold bedroom but this is worth the sacrifice - haha! And yes, the whelping box is in my bedroom so I can keep a close eye on them and on mom. Each puppy is gaining weight consistently and crawling around with more strength - especially when they can smell or feel that mom is near!

​Speaking of mom, Bliss is doing a great job! She is very attentive - making sure she helps each puppy urinate and is cleaning up after them efficiently. She is nursing them well and starting to take more breaks from them for some "mom time". I'm pleased with how she is taking care of her little pirates! 

The pups have started experiencing ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) which I do with every single litter. I am planning to put together an educational page about these. I feel this aspect of raising puppies can be very beneficial! Their eyes will start opening in one more week and will be so excited to watch them discover their surroundings!!

Check out my website for more EDUCATIONAL material.

I am excited to announce that Bliss delivered 5 beautiful puppies on 5/13/25! So far mom and pups are doing well! For Bliss' first litter, she has proven to be an attentive mama and she is learning how to take care of her babies well! I love watching the pups snuggle with mom and nurse. They are using the few senses they have at this age to locate mom, drink, and find warmth with mom or siblings. Mama Bliss helps to stimulate them to use the bathroom at this age.
