Yes I am bad of keeping posting!

Well it has been a little over 2 months since Comet has been with this family. He has blended well with us and adores everyone, especially his "sister" Samantha-he really loves her and loves to giver kisses in the morning. Comet also seems to be a momma's boy and tends to come to me over everybody else. :) He is almost house broken (has a few accidents here and there) and whenever he needs to go out, Comet rings a bell at the door. Comet is also a star student in basic training and he will do anything for food! He is smart-sometimes too smart for his own good; it gets him in trouble sometimes. He has made other doggie friends and is really close to an old mutt named Tank. Comet gets random zoomies-mostly outside, but sometimes inside and he will run around the dinning room table, in hopes I will chase him-sometimes I do and he loves it. He attacks Samantha's stuffed Rottie, Helga and doesn't understand it's not real. Comet speaks on command and sings when we howl, and he barks in his sleep (dreaming of rabbits?). A couple of days ago he lost his first baby tooth and there will be more to follow.

The list can go on and on, but I have to say Dawn picked the perfect puppy for us! He is wonderful! Below there is a picture of my daughter and Comet when we first got him and a picture of Samantha and Comet now.

Ummm...why are you getting into "off-limits" items?

Comet is 13 weeks old and he and his rest of his siblings are in the phase of getting into "off-limit" items such as wires, trashcans, furniture. Comet has learned to jump onto the dinning room table and see what goodies are up there. He loves to stick his head into the living room trash can in hopes to find tissues, dryer cloths, and other yucky stuff. Comet's sister has even gotten into the beef roll that we use for treats in puppy class.


Otherwise being a puppy, Comet is a sweet little thing. But he does whine at everything-he whines when he wants to see someone, going to the bathroom (yes he does), whines because he wants too. He is a smart puppy and catches on things very fast-he is the shining star in puppy class (I know I sound like a bragging mother here!). Since I've not been posting as much lately here are two pictures of Comet; one is when I brought him home the first time and the other one was taken yesterday. You can tell how much he has grown!

Comet and the rest of the Dragon babies are 10 weeks old tomorrow

Comet has been home for 2 days and is adjusting very well. The first night was pretty rough though; 30 minutes of howling and yapping and finally quietness. He finally went asleep at 11:30 PM and didn't wake up till 4 AM but howled for another 30 minutes. Then another 2 and half hours of sleep for me and Comet. The next day I did teach him "sit" and "down" and didn't take him long to learn both. Now when I take him outside he sits in front of the door without being told and waits for me to put the leash on, open the door and waits for me to exit and then he follows. Same thing when he comes in and then sits back down so I can take the leash off and waits for me to say "okay" to goes off for a toy!

Comet's personality is so sweet-he loves everyone he meets and excitedly shakes his butt. He loves dogs his size, but is cautious with the bigger ones. At times he can be a goof, a clown, a love-bug, and stubborn, but he is very smart. He does not like carrots but likes cheese. All around Comet is a wonderful puppy.

Comet is Home!

I can't believe the moment is here! Comet is home! I met up Dawn at Petsmart in Bel Air, MD and was looking for her. I quickly spotted Fehren and then turned and saw Comet in the cart where Kevin was waiting. Everything around me seemed to disappear and no longer existed- it was just me and Comet. I almost cried but didn't get to that point; I just held him and kissed him. That emptiness I was feeling for 6 months vanished in a blink of a eye. Now the real stuff begins, puppy classes constant training, and cleaning pee and poop (but he seems to be doing good so far). It's nice to hear footsteps behind me again!

Dragon babies went to loving homes.

It is the day before Comet comes home and I have no idea which boy I am going to get. I am like a child on Christmas Eve night-I am too excited to sleep soundly and kept tossing and turning. Everything is ready for his homecoming, we just need Comet to complete our household. I am expecting to pick up Comet tomorrow!
For those who are following the blog, I have the information on the pups and where they went to.

Red Male now AKA: Dragoon and Purple girl now AKA: Darla were kept by Donna.

Orange girl now AKA: unknown
Blue boy now AKA: unknown
Rainbow boy and everyone's favorite now AKA:unknown.


I will update the information about the puppies that don't have a name or owners when I get them!

The cutest litter on the earth!

Donna posted a whole bunch of pictures of the dragon babies playing the snow the other day. The funny thing is, they don't know they are going to be separated and put into a home where they will be loved and to mention SPOILED. It is hard to imagine that by the end of next week I will have one of those cuties running around my house. Has not sink in yet and still seems like it's months away.

I have most of the owners on my Facebook friend list and I am hoping they will update me with pictures, benchmarks and other information about their puppy. There are a lot of people who are keeping track of the dragon babies and they are hoping to continue.

Below are the pictures of the Dragon babies playing.

Someone on Facebook asked Donna why there are a big difference in weights. She replied back saying, "There is always going to be big and small in a litter. The big puppies could be from the first breeding and the little ones could be from a latter breeding(if so the little guy is almost a week behind the rest from the start)." Which makes sense.

I don't have videos but I do have pictures...the last two are exclusive and were sent to me personally-it's rainbow, the "little guy"

Dragon babies are 5 weeks old!

This week they started on puppy kibble mush which is more kibble less milk re-placer. Below are some of new videos of puppies in their new play area.

Gruel yum! Who wants some?

Yesterday was the Dragon Babies' first semi-solid meal! They had a mixture of puppy kibble and warmed milk replacer (puppy formula), which is called gruel. Doesn't it sound yummy? yuck. Donna did let rainbow have the first dibs and he ate by himself for a bit. Then she allowed the others have some. The pups had 3 plates of the gruel and still wanted to nurse...what little piggies. Below are some videos of the Dragon Babies chowing down.

This Just In......

I have a new video of the Dragon Babies playing in the whelping cage. According to Donna, they have learned to climb out the box, so she might move it out completely and let them have the whole room to roam and to explore! Tomorrow is their first real puppy chow meal! Pictures will follow! I also have some pity on Rainbow, because it seems some of them go after him-but it is nice to see some intervene and tell those who are going after Rainbow to stop it. He doesn't seem to mind right now, but as he gets older he will eventually let them know they've crossed the line...*SIGH* brothers and sisters.

Snow yet again.....

Yep, they're eyes have opened and like human newborn babies, their eyes are blue. Below is a

picture of the puppies getting around the whelping crate and becoming more steady on their feet. Also their baby teeth have started to poke through; this is a sign that the puppies will be weening off the milk soon and begin eating puppy mush (which is puppy kibble mixed with warm water). I do have another video of the puppies playing and in the video you can notice how small rainbow boy is, but he is growing like a weed and eventually he will catch up to the others.
