7 Weeks old

Pups are actually almost 8 weeks old! We have just 2 left to sell, one boy and one girl. Anyone interested can email me at kamsimpson@gmail.com with questions, or if you'd like to see the pups. Here are a few more pictures of these sweet "kids"

6 Weeks and Growing!!

How sweet these pups are! They are getting bigger and each day they are exploring more and more. Another trip to the vet today, and all was well. Everyone's weighing in at between 8 1/2 and 10 1/2 pounds (except little Boo, but he is gaining steadily). Outdoor play time and "chow" time are the two favorite activities. Hard to believe in a couple of weeks all of our babies will have new homes. We are enjoying all the puppy breath we can!

Another successful vet visit this morning! Everyone got de-wormed, weighed and Gypsy got to smile at everyone and show off her babies that are her pride and joy. Four of the pups have found homes, so just four more to find perfect families.

The pups started on moistened puppy food today and love it! They are up and out of the puppy pool, and it's so fun to watch them play!

Three Weeks Already?

Yep, these pups are 3 weeks old! They all have their eyes open, and are up and about.
It's only a matter of days before they are out of the puppy pool. They are playing, and seem to be growing at a rapid pace...As always time seems to be flying by...
The kids are having so much fun seeing all the changes the pups are going through. It's a pretty amazing time for all of us!

Two weeks old!

I can't believe these little pups are two weeks old today. We weighed them today and they are little chunks, they are all almost 3 pounds! They are really getting around, and are too cute as they try to get up and walk around. Their eyes are starting to open, and their personalities are starting to come out. I can't get enough of that sweet puppy breath. Gypsy is such a good mom, and Jinx is spending more and more time with the kids. Not sure how we got so lucky for both of them to be dotting parents!

Sweet lumps of love

The pups are thriving (including our little guy with the arm injury) they are nursing, "talking", and really getting around! They all had their dew claws removed on Thursday, and have not missed a beat.

The Puppies have arrived!

What an exciting day here in the Simpson house! Gypsy's puppies arrived!! Derek and I took turns being "on alert" Monday night as her panting started in the early evening. The first pup arrived 10:37am and the last was delivered at 3:07pm... It was a long day! 5 Boys and 4 girls, and they are beautiful.

The last one born, a cute little boy has a little injury or something (I don't really want to say a deformity, as it really isn't). It's almost as if the skin did not form properly on his right front leg. He was in his sack, had a normal birth, Gypsy did all she needed to do, he was "talking" and eating, and in all other aspects is perfect. We took him to the vet and he is now on antibiotics, and we will see how he does in the next couple of days. She did not feel it was broken, but really couldn't say what had happened. If he weren't eating and thriving otherwise she might have had other concerns. We think it may be a circulation issue, with having 8 siblings he might have been short on room in there!!

Gypsy is doing SO GREAT!! She was tried by about puppy #5, but she pushed through (literally). Jinx and Maci were on hand shortly after all were born, took a sniff and wandered off probably wondering what all the commotion was about...

MANY thanks to Rachel from Haines Road Grooming who was a WONDERFUL mid-wife to Gypsy. (and so calming for the rest of us!)
