We think Koda and Zeus were Blue Heeler, Dachshund, and Piranha mix. We try to make a best guess as to the breed but sometimes we don’t know the mama of the pups and rarely know the father. And, we found out mama dogs can get pregnant for up to two weeks and there can be multiple dads! They are definitely herding dogs! They kept trying to herd Lily. She does kind of look like a little white sheep!
We picked up these two on December 18th from another foster, Lori, who had the entire litter of six! We were only supposed to have them for a week, but Koda got what we thought was ringworm. Koda, Zeus, and Lily all had to be washed and dipped 3 times with a sulfur dip. No one was happy about that. Man did they stink after that! Rob kept teasing them that they smelled like farts! But Koda’s skin issue cleared up so it was all worth it. They were taken to Friendship APL on January 8th, and adopted a few days later.
Cuddles & Cuteness
Koda and Zeus got a lot of cuddles! My daughter Dani was home and got to enjoy some puppy cuddles. Our granddaughter Eleanor came over and snuggled with the puppies which is good for them to be around children so we can put on their adoption information that they are good with children.
Koda is a mean wrestler! Zeus is more of a cuddler.
Sit Pretty!
We wanted a cute picture of the puppies in front of the Christmas tree. This took a LOT of retakes. They would sit pretty for a second and then start chewing on each other and wrestling! We would have to break it up and then have about 10 seconds to try to get a shot.
Sleepy Puppies
One thing we really enjoy is seeing the crazy puppy sleeping positions and locations. And of course, Rob and I got a lot of sleepy snuggle time.
The First Walk
Koda does not like to walk on a leash and hates wearing a collar!
Paperwork and Meds
We have had to learn a lot about puppy vaccines, deworming meds, and feeding. Geauga Mamas has us fill out a form to keep track of meds, vaccines, and dietary supplements such as probiotics.
