These little guys are getting cuter by the day & Luna loves being a mom!

Mama Dog

Luna had her pups today! Seven healthy cute little Alaska dogs in all... Pretty cool to watch and it's something she is really good at. We can barely coax her out of that box for the first week. She will spend the next couple months cleaning, feeding, licking and taking care of these little guys (hey sounds familiar, except for the licking part :0). Ah... the life of a mom. These pups are going to be cute! Stay tuned for more pics. of them...

last of the puppies...

My last puppy blog and photo and it's somewhat because of them I haven't been on the computer much, 5 puppies is alot of work! But the good news is I have found good homes for 3 of them in the last 24 hours and we are now down to 2 girls, and only 1 is still available. They are cute and fun but also loud and messy, I'm about done... At 7 weeks old today it was the perfect time to find families for them. Tonight I'm finding 2 is much more manageable for me, and Luna. The boys have enjoyed them but also don't seem to really mind they are gone. We took them a couple weeks ago to the kindergarten room for show and tell, that was fun. Looks like Luna may get fixed the next time the "Bush Vet" comes through town, I don't want to make a habit of this process. Luna is a great mom and seems to even like it but the brunt of the work falls on me and I have enough to do with my own kids. Last chance, anyone need a pup Fed Exed? :0)

Puppy Update

All five pups are doing great, Luna is a really good mom. She won't leave them and when they all whine so does she ( I can understand that :0) There are 3 girls and 2 boys in the litter and it looks like several will be staying local so it will be cool to see them grow up as Talkeetna dogs. The boys have been really respectful of them and so far we have mostly left the pups alone, there will be plenty of time to play with them in the next couple months. She's right off the kitchen in the laundry room so we can keep a good eye on them and of course Luna is loving all the attention. Here are a few photos I took today, CUTE!

Our New Pups

Luna had her puppies the night of December 5th (Bachelor Ball night here) about an hour after I got home from an all day craft fair until a little after midnight. There are 5 healthy little pups (one is hiding under her leg in the photos). She did great and all by herself, we observed and encouraged but didn't assist. We still haven't really handled them and she won't leave them even for a potty break yet. There is one lighter one with a mask that is really cute (far left in photos and if it's a girl the local preschool teacher wants it), the rest are darker in color and the first out was the biggest and fatest. We don't plan to keep any and a few most likely already have homes-to-be, but it should be fun for the couple months we will have them. Jax was awake for the first one and Hawken woke up just before the last one was born so they both saw a little of it, then we went to bed not sure if there were more coming or not and in the morning there were still just the 5 of them. The dad is Lupo (we are pretty sure because of timing and the markings on them), our friend's Husky/German Shepard mix. He's a nice dog and fast, loves to run. Luna is a McKenzie River Husky so they are basically Husky Shepards, great Alaska dogs. Check back to watch them grow, they already seem a little bigger today :0) never a dull moment...
