Puppy Update-March 23

The puppies are 7 weeks old! We have been introducing them to new sounds and experiences. They are weaned now, mostly it seems. I wormed them last week (6 wks) and plan to do so again at 8 wks. They’ll have a vet visit soon too.

I’ve loved seeing two of our girls, Letty and Lila, bloom in confidence and sweetness. They were the two who startled the easiest since birth, sensitive, and the bossiest at play initially. Now they all can be assertive during playtime! I see attentiveness and eager to please coming through, very much like CeCe.

And then Ione continues to be inquisitive and her happy, active self. 😁

Lastly, a few more pics with the boys in there as well.

Welcome to Heartland Farmette, where we’re living life on the prairie in the Illinois heartland. We pursue various homesteading things in our small corner of the world. We love to garden. We converted a small part of a crop field to a prairie, woody perennials, and an orchard. We raise Old-Time Scotch Collies. Previously, we’ve kept chickens for meat and eggs and may pursue raising poultry in the future. Stay tuned! We love our little slice of heaven where we’re able to pursue our passion of stewarding the environment around us.
