Puppies Puppies Puppies

Yesterday we visited Wilson and today we met Hannah and Kent’s puppy and the puppy’s Mom Luna.

Wilson lives in Frankfurt Ks with his eight brothers and sisters and his Mama Dally. When we arrived, Kendra had her kids go out to the garage to get a few of the puppies. We played with them on the floor. Scott met Wilson for the first time. He bonded more with Dally who is sweet and affectionate.

Wilson is still all about nursing. He was fixated on getting to his Mama and latching on. She never did sit down but he went at it anyway. One of his siblings also nursed but just for awhile. Wilson wanted to the whole time. It does make we worry that we are taking him away too early. All but one of the puppies will go home this next weekend. They will be six weeks old.

I bought a crate, food, a harness and leash, toys, chew toys and a bed for Wilson. We will train him by crate. He will sleep in his crate next to me in the bed. He’s going to be a lot of work. I will take him out to pee every half hour that he is awake and get him out of his crate every hour. He will go wherever I go. When I see clients, he will be in his kennel either in the back room if he is Whitney or next to me if he is quiet and doesn’t disrupt. I will socialize him at Homestead and in the coffee shop.

I know that Diego will do fine with Wilson. He was gentle with Rex when Rex got too old to play. Wilson will be closer to Diego’s size when he is grown.

Wilson is considered an F1 Golden Doodle or a first generation doodle. HIs mom is full golden and his dad is a full standard poodle.

Today I went over to our friend Aja and Bo’s house to meet Oscar, Hannah and Kent’s new labradoodle. He is a second generation labradoodle meaning both of his parents are labradoodles. Oscar is 7 weeks old. We will pick him up on friday and drive him to Denver to meet Hannah and Kent.

Oscar was super calm. His Mama, Luna, was frisky. Oscar snuggled my neck then laid on my lap. WhenI stretched out my legs, he laid his head on my legs. His Mama tried everything to get him to play and he did not want to. He’s going to be a calm puppy.
