Go Home Week is HERE! The Boyz have gone to their forever homes!

Baby Tait/Lime Boy went to his forever home with Barbara. He'll be known as “Ember” (Moonlight’s True North Ember). We're looking forward to hearing about his therapy work, or seeing him in the shows but most of all knowing he's the perfect puppy for his new dog mom. 

Bye Bye Ember! We'll miss you!

Baby Tommy/Blue Boy went to his forever home with Natalie and Aaron. He'll be known as "Fig" (Moonlight's True Love Story) and we're looking forward to hearing about his exciting travels and seeing him strutting in the show ring. What a great family photo! 

Bye Bye Fig! We'll miss you!

---

Baby Taz/Silver Boy went to his forever home with Anna and Rob. He'll be known as “Westley” (Moonlight’s Love, True Love). We're looking forward to seeing him on birds, in the show ring and whatever else Mr. Personality gets himself into! 

Bye Bye Westley! We'll miss you!

---

Baby Tanner/Orange Boy went to his forever home with Courtney and Craig. He'll be known as “Archie” (Moonlight’s Dream Come True) we're looking forward to hearing about his adventures in multiple venues (show/agility/obedience) but mostly being an all-around handsome boy! 

Bye Bye Archie! We'll miss you!

---

Baby Trey/Red Boy went to his forever home with Joe. He'll be known as "Rowan" and we're looking forward to hearing about his therapy work or maybe seeing him in the show ring, but mostly he's his daddy's BFF! 

Bye Bye Rowan! We'll miss you!

Crates, Car Rides, Shots and Vets -- OH MY!

The BOYZ had a big day -- a car ride to the vet in a crate. The pups were a huge hit at Yorba Regional Animal Hospital where they got a check up and weigh in.  There was a bit more "quiet" on the way home from the vet (1.25 drive) -- yay! 

Baby Birddogs! The BOYZ and their first bird wing!

The BOYZ had fun playing around and pointing the "bird wing on a string" with one of their future families (Anna and Rob).  Everyone was interested in the wing and showed natural instincts. Nice going BOYZ!

Introduction to the crate ....

The BOYZ have a 300 sized* plastic crate (32") in their play area now -- I think they like it!  They use it for a playroom and eventually took a nap in there, all five of them!

*Note: this crate size is too small for an adult Vizsla, plan on at least 36"

Kitchen Puppy Party -- and the Puppy Plaything!

"Zene" in the Puppy Plaything

What is the Puppy Plaything, you ask?  It's a PVC pipe contraption that stimulates puppies’ senses in a fun and safe way -- it has hanging toys, bottles, and ("safe") plastic/random objects. Adding the Puppy Plaything to their play area teaches them (at a time they have few fears) that stuff that moves and makes noise is interesting and fun!

Sometimes I'll toss treats inside the Plaything so the pups have to go through the dangling items to get to them. The pups are charging into, tugging on and playing with the Plaything. They enjoyed one of their first few meals in the center of the Plaything. This teaches them to tolerate things touching and bumping them while they eat. Good boys!

New Collars!

"Tait"

The BOYZ are 2 1/2 weeks old and all over 3 lbs. which means they've officially grown into their big-boyz collars (instead of the velcro wraps).  Nice going guys!
