Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!!!

This week we have been blown away by the cuddling, tumbling, running, playing and cuteness of all our new puppies. Brook has added their pictures so you can put an adorable face to their cute little stories!



Junior: 5 week old Boxer. He is a lover! At only 5 weeks the majority of his day is spent sleeping in the laps of Brook and myself or in the armpits, chins, hips, or on the backs of our larger hairy dogs. Copper, Dakota, and Chance have all been great to let him curl up with them.



Lola: 7 month old Weimaraner is Junior's big sister. She is a beauty. She was a little timid on Wednesday (her first day) but has the hang of it. She loves running with Kira, our Greyhound, and Dakota and Cutie Pie (our 2 other fastest). She is very protective of her brother-when we are holding him she always checks in!

Kodah: 4 month old Husky. He is roudy and so fun - everything you would expect from a boy dog! He loves us girls and can run and play all day! He has rolled and run and chased and sniffed all week. He is going to be a tired puppy tonight.

Ruben: 4 month old mutt. Many of you may remember us talking about him. He was brought to us as a last resort before going to the pound. His parents said he had too much energy (don't all puppies...). Prayers were answered when a guy came in doing deliveries and mentioned he was going to get his wife a doggie for Christmas. So Ruben has a wonderful home and is doing great with the best new owners! For the first time (while we were fostering, during his training class, and during his weekly trips to day care) he is laying down at my feet. He plays long and hard while he is here! He is the same size as many of our other babies and is LOVING IT.

Harlow: 5 month old Great Dane. Her ears are up-her tummy is back to normal and she is ready to play play play! She is a beauty and loves having the room to run.

Zack & Sophie: You've read about them before. Zack, our 4 month old Great Dane still loves all dogs and is happy in my lap (yes, I know he is too big, but...), laying in the sun, chewing on any and everything, and racing the other pups. Sophie, Shih Tzu, is now 12 weeks and has grown and grown. She plays with all sizes, breeds and ages. The only thing that hasn't changed is she wants in a dogs 'lap' when she is sleeping.

Mollie & Chesney: Are 11 week old (3-4lb) Maltise-Yorkies. They are litter mates but seperate owners-today is thier first day and they fit right in. They are exploring, rolling, smelling, sleeping and loving their new litter at Ultimutt!

This weather has been amazing. The dogs are loving it and all are playing like puppies. Including our oldest dogs! Cody (the Collie) ran and played like a 3 year old for a week straight. He is a large dog (90lbs) but was fascinated by the smaller dogs. He's watch and study them for hours then run run run then back to watching the small dogs. Abbey (my 9 year old lab) has run and played more in the last 2 weeks then she has in the 4 years that I have known her. She really thinks she is a puppy again and is just running and barking all day! Andy (Brook's 7 yr old Schnauzer) has been walking the fence row for 10 days. The rabbits are out because of the warm weather and are tormenting the dogs! Also, the birds are really landing low on the trees right outside the fence and I swear they are mocking them!!!

Our big dogs: Zenna & Zubie (Great Danes), Cutie Pie, Jasper (Bird Dog mix), Chipper (Australian Sheppard), Dakota (English Golden Retriever mix), Copper (dark Golden), Buddy (Collie mix), Kira (Greyhound), Chance and Abbey are loving the weather. Being able to run inside and out all day long is wonderful. This weather has given them all young and old an adrenaline rush. It is wonderful to see them all this happy!

Our small dogs: Chico (Pom mix) has really warmed up to Ultimutt and is doing great on his anxiety. Annie and Jaxsen love day care life and come by each day for their daily love. Annie (puggle mix) comes once a week for her dose of day care and we love having her. Toby (poodle) and Lilly Jack love playing with the dogs their size and barking at the big ones. Maggie (Bulldog) and Charlie are just happy go lucky dogs. They haven't found a day they don't love. And Casey is happy just following Charlie or Cutie around.

I better get back to work. Have a great weekend
