Tempête stealing hearts and stethoscope
Tempête is always a favorite when people meet the dogs. He cast his spell on his doctor when visiting the Atlantic Veterinary College ! Notice who is wearing the stethoscope ?
Much thanks to Bruno’s mom for coming with us to the Island and taking the picture 😉 !
Part of the process in raising puppies is that you know they are with you for just a little time, those 8 weeks go so fast ! On the other side, for the families anxiously waiting their new arrival time cannot go fast enough !
This week the puppies are 5 weeks old, they are eating regular food – mind you doctored a bit; they still love mom’s visits but they are getting curious and want to explore the great outdoors. It is a bit cold today but as soon as temperature permits we will be out, in the meantime there is lots to explore indoors.
They posed for their mug shots, here are a few takes to enjoy !

The great escape
Charlie looks as if he cannot remember how he got out !
How do I get in ?
All kinds of new things to play with.
Curious Charlie says ” See you next week “!
See you next week !
With the puppies getting more active and taking more of our time, the older dogs have decided to ignore us back ! Seldom could we approach them with a camera without a reaction ! Here is Tempête having a snooze on the sofa.
Check out Ciara’s nursery for an update on the puppies !
Today the two little men are three weeks old! What a difference !
They can see, hear, move around on their four legs. They even recognize my voice and have found a voice of their own ! 
Here are some pictures taken this morning:
I was quick enough to almost get them posing side by side !
As they climbed Mount Ice Cream ( Mom) I caught them at the summit!
Ciara must be feeding them ice cream! They are chunky little guys!
Here they are during the climb !
Be careful Mom says !
Roaming around the bed with mom! See the little tail wagging ?
A little motherly love
and back to our comfort zone:
The puppies had a big snooze after this ! See you next week !
I always like to document the puppies growing up on their weekly birthdays, but I had the chance to take some neat picts today, so here we are with a day short of our second birthday.
Here we are with mom, did you noticed how much we have grown ! Ciara is a very attentive mom and she make sure that everyone is well groomed !
Trying to show you their little faces , I still have to hold them in my hand; the first one is the little dark guy and then the not so little lighter one. Their birth weight and growing pattern at this stage is not indicative of their future size. Their is not doubt that these little guys are thriving !
They are starting to do push ups and soon they will be trotting along here is Mr Light showing off his cute little socks on his front paws:
Her he is showing his cute little face !
Mr Dark, whose eyes are starting to open, is giving it a good try !
He also has those cute little socks on
It is hard work getting our picture done !!
See you all later !
