puppy graduations

Spring 2022 was such a busy time for us. We usually have 1 litter a year at most and we had THREE litters within 3 weeks of each other .... 14 puppies total! There were 6 puppies in the Christmas Star Litter (conceived on Christmas Eve), 5 puppies in the New Year's Eve Litter (conceived on New Year's Eve), and 3 puppies in the Adirondack Litter. It's a long story, but our previous attempts August, 2021 had failed so we were diligently completing progesterone testing at the vet in December to give us a greater chance of sucess .... THEN, the holidays hit, first Christmas, then New Years, and the vet closed. Flying blindly, once again, we just said "Well, let's do a hail Mary and at least one will take?!" Of course, all 3 took. We aren't complaining but just saying that no one in their right mind would undertake this much ha. Nonetheless, we were so blessed and enjoyed every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Here are some of the graduations before they left for their new forever homes at 12 weeks of age!
