Hello from Russell Homestead! We sure have some action brightening our winter days with an energetic litter of mini schnauzers. My update this week is a short video series showing the puppies' first introduction to Life's Abundance Water Buffalo Lung. Videos Salt & Pepper Girls Black & Silver Girls Black & Silver Boys Our Favorite Life's Abundance Puppy Products Below are the two chew products they've now been introduced to. My favorite chew for the puppies is the buffalo lung. They love it, and I love that it’s one ingredient – buffalo lung! Life’s Abundance has several wonderful chewing products that are one ingredient – no harsh chemicals, fillers, or preservatives! We use these products on our adults and puppies because chewing is an important part of a dog’s life. In addition to help easing the pain of puppy teething, it helps clean their teeth throughout their lifetimes. And, chewing is just fun and enjoyable for dogs! I think it can help relieve stress and anxiety, as well. We don’t believe in trying to teach puppies NOT to chew, we believe in teaching them what to chew on. We already are training our puppies there are things not to chew on – mainly our toes (which seems especially delightful to puppies) and the newspaper in the potty box. We instruct our children never to let puppies “play bite” or chew on them – even though it’s adorable right now before all their teeth are intact and before they have real jaw strength. The puppies are growing! Their weights today are as follows: Gloria - 3lbs, 3oz; Toby, Mary, & Liza - 3lbs, 1oz; Anna - 2lbs, 14oz; Angel - 2lbs, 11oz; Eleanor - 2lbs, 6oz; and Gabe - 2lbs, 2oz. Using their weights as a guide, we dewormed them at four weeks old. We will do this two more time before they go home. The puppies show no signs of worms; but, due to the susceptibility of all puppies to worms, we do it as a preventative. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a piece of our world! Blessings!

Thank you for these videos, Vanessa — it is so neat to watch their personalities starting to shine through! You can almost see their thought processes: who is contemplating some exploring, who is hoping for some playtime, and who is giving in to closing their eyes (Spoiler Alert: boys!).

Haha, yes, the boys acted all sleepy here :) Don't be fooled :) Thanks, again, for taking time to comment and reassure our new families that our puppies are well taken care of. It means so much to us!
