Taffy 06-443

Profile

10/14/06: A litter of 6-week-old pups arrived in Minnesota from Missouri on October 7, 2006. Their Mom is a Golden mix--looks Golden but on the small side. Daddy is unknown, but boy, the puppies sure are cute.

Today the eight puppies are 7 weeks old and on the road to good health. They were born outside, so they do have parasites we are treating. We are also working on getting their young digestive tracts in proper working order. They are starting to get active and we are beginning to see their individual personalities emerge. In the next few days I will do individual updates, and hopefully these sweeties will be back to good health and ready to find forever homes in a couple of weeks! More pics to come.

Taffy was at the vet yesterday - she weighed in at 11.7 lbs, and everything checked out great. She received another puppy shot, and will still need her rabies booster at 16 weeks. Taffy is now just over 12 weeks. She is very spunky, and loves to play with the other dogs and people. She has started to learn that going potty outside is the preferred method, and working on this has been easier now that we are just down to two pups in the household. She sleeps well at night, but does still need to get up for at least one potty break. Taffy has a good appetite and eats 3 times a day. She loves to run around outside, chew sticks and has very little fear about anything. She's curious, and has her tail wagging all the time. Her favorite game still seems to be hanging on pant legs, but we are trying to redirect this to her toys :)

Taffy is so ready for her special forever home. I think she would like an active family who would have lots of time for her because she's spunky, loves to be with people and likes a lot of interaction. She has the most beautiful markings and the photos just don't do her justice!

Taffy (8 1/2 wks. old) is my personal favorite: outgoing, cute, energetic, playful, semi-cuddley and did I mention she was cute? She's short and tubby with the most adorable face. She has taken a liking to our resident Golden, following him and simply staring at him as he ignores her.

Our dog Luca will play with the puppies every once in awhile and I don't think they could be happier than when he does! Taffy loves to bite your toes and/or socks when you're walking through the kitchen. She clamps on and hangs there as you drag her across the room. She plays almost constantly and her tail is always resting in a curl on her back like a little Husky, and wagging away.

She weighs 6.2 pounds and today she had her second set of puppy shots, a follow-up worming (which is going very well), and she was also micro-chipped.

None of the puppies know their names but we simply call: "Puppy, puppy, puppy!" in a high pitched and enthusiastic voice they come running in a mini stampede. Taffy is rambunctious and absolutely adorable with a little bit of attitude and she would love to be with you as long as you're ready to play and cuddle!
