It’s Cinco de Mayo, you know what that means; Happy 6th Birthday to the first litter! 🎉❤️ What a time to have 9 precious lives to be born. Make sure to give them lots of belly rubs from me and a nice treat or some blueberries. I don’t know if I mentioned that before when they were starting to transition to solid food I gave them blueberries and they loved them. Hopefully that’s still the case, hope everyone has a great day! 🤍

Happy 3rd Birthday to the second litter! 🎉 Anytime I look at the pictures of them when they were little it just makes me miss their little faces and reminds me how easy it was for me to tell who was who 🥺 At 3 years old is when I noticed Bear and Maple calming down more, of course still full of energy and loving to play but not acting like puppies as much. On the other hand Minnie is completely different, she is sooooo full of energy. She can tire herself out and still keep wanting to go until I have to get her to calm down. Not sure if any of the puppies from either litter do this but she actually takes pretty good care of her toys, one thing her parents don’t do at all. As soon as they get a toy maybe they’ll hold on to it for a little bit but eventually they’ll rip them up. Minnie will of course rip up toys but she sometimes likes to make different ones her favorite toys (currently she only has two) that she’ll carry everywhere with her and if she leaves it somewhere she always knows where it’s at and will come back or will even go as far as hiding them when she’s playing so no one takes them. It’s funny to see how similar yet different she is compared to her parents. Anyways, everybody is doing good, I figured I’d include some pictures of Bear and Minnie since I always joke that he gets grumpy with her but Minnie has gotten better at respecting his boundaries and they get along great. 🤍
Hope everyone else is doing good, make sure to give lots of belly rubs and Happy Birthday again to the second litter or the 4-27=23 litter 😂🎂

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
This year I was able to get some pictures of the dogs around the tree, I did want to try to get a group photo, but someone was being a little difficult and refused to sit. (You can tell by her photos, Maple) 😂
I did mean to do an update around Halloween, but I was struggling a little bit to decide on what to do for their costumes this year and then when I did figure it out, Maple’s costume came in a little bit later than I would’ve liked since I had to adjust it since it’s actually a maple leaf costume for a human. The matching toys I bought for them prior to Halloween made the costumes even better. Bear got to be dressed up as a teddy bear and Minnie became Minnie mouse. Surprisingly Minnie did really well this time and didn’t mind the costume. I can’t help to wonder if it’s because last winter she found her love of sweaters and coats when she realized that they would help keep her warm. Now I have to try and convince her and her parents to like snow shoes since sometimes their paws get cold.
Besides that everyone is doing good and healthy, Minnie became the first one out of all of the dogs to catch an adult rabbit, she’s very. She also has basically became best friends with our husky since even though our husky is 10yrs old she still has a lot of energy vs Bear and Maple who sometimes just like to be grumpy towards her when they aren’t in the mood to play. Bear and Maple would rather dig instead of chasing her around, because of this and their age I have put them on Cosequin vitamins (Costco occasionally has sales on them) which Minnie also gets since she feels left out if she doesn’t get any. And they all have found their love of the dog treats that look like Oreos (three dog bakery brand) which they prefer to eat over any type of meat treat I give them.
I hope everyone is doing well and healthy and has a great start to the new year! 🤍

5x5=25 which is also todays day 5/5/25 and the 1st litters 5th birthday! 🥳 5 years ago was a crazy time, and I was honestly panicking a little bit unsure how the pandemic would effect everything and I even panicked more when we had to take the puppies to the vet at a couple days old to get their tails docked and dewclaws removed and we weren’t able to go inside with them. It was an uncertain time for sure but I’m certain things ended up turning out how they were supposed to be and however our paths crossed that lead you to us I’m grateful that each one found a loving home! 🐾 Happy 5th birthday to the 1st litter❣️

Can you guys believe what day it is? 🥲 The second litter is turning two day and are no longer puppies! But they sure will have that puppy energy for a couple more years so no slowing down for a while! Looking at the pictures made me remember how fun it was to take care of them and how fast they grow! 9 weeks went by so fast and so did two years, here’s to making more memories! Happy 2nd Birthday❣️🎉

I decided to make Minnie some birthday cupcakes and even though she was a little too excited at first, she did end up sitting down for some pictures. Her and Minion are basically best friends since they are both high energy. Bear and Maple are also doing good and seem to enjoy when they have their alone time together. I meant to make a post earlier this year but Maple and Minnie went into heat during Christmas so no holiday photos and it felt like anytime we had snow it was just so cold and hard for the dogs to enjoy. Let’s hope spring isn’t too harsh and everyone stays safe with all the storms we’ve been having 🤍

Happy Monday everyone! I know it’s been a couple days since Halloween, but Minnie was acting like a teenager and not really wanting to wear her costume so it took me a couple days to try and get a decent picture. Maple on the other hand 😍 let’s face it her pictures turned out great, I even bought them pumpkins earlier in October to take pictures with her and well Maple clearly has the best picture! Anyways since the last update; Bear has now been neutered (Maple is 6 and having her get pregnant again would be a bigger risk plus with Minnie it just seemed like the best decision for everyone) Since he’s been intact for most of his life I haven’t noticed any behavior changes except him marking everywhere. So anyone with an intact male knows how much they just love to mark, even if it’s just a little dribble 😂 Luckily he’s never tried to mark up the inside of the house but it does make it easier when going outside especially in public. Maple, absolutely loves Minnie. She is an amazing mom and basically lets Minnie do whatever which is nice but you know sometimes has it’s downsides (Minnie will want to play with Maple and just start biting her face and Maple lets her. But because Maple lets her she thinks she can do it to the other two and the other ones aren’t big fans of that) So I have to be the one correcting this behavior more, besides that they all get along great and are all constantly learning new things from each other. And well Minnie, that picture of her on the propane tank should tell you enough 😅😂 (I have no idea where she got the idea or how she even managed to do it but she jumped on there herself and started walking on it, luckily only did it one time) But she is so curious about different things, luckily she is a good listener so she doesn’t really get herself into too much trouble. And thanks to the help of her aunt (she has the best nose out of all of them) she has discovered her love of mulberries, apples and corn! So besides being able to run around all the time outside is probably her favorite place to be! I ended up picking a lot more photos than I usually do, time has been going by so fast so hopefully I can get a nice photo of them around Christmas for our next update! Or maybe when it snows! It sure will be interesting if it snows a lot this year! Hope everybody is doing well! 🤗

I was scrolling on Facebook and I came across this post from a Rottweiler group I’m in! They aren’t available for adoption yet, but they are located in Omaha, in case anybody wants to add another one to their home! Just thought I’d share! 🐾 💓

First lemme say, Happy Birthday to the first litter! 4 years ago they were born and definitely changed everyone’s life! 🎉Today when going back through all the pictures from 4 years ago, I realized I’ve posted a lot of the puppies from since they were first born to leaving our house but not a lot of their parents. So I figured I’d throw in a picture some pictures, the first one Maple was actually pregnant and we didn’t know at first but had suspicion when she started getting bigger and then we took her to the vet and they confirmed it (2nd picture) I think Bear and Maple knew before we did, they were always close. But Maple besides wanting to lay down most of the time wanted to be near Bear until she got closer to when she was going to give birth then she started “nesting” and we knew it was time for her to get her own space. But it’s funny because Bear was actually the one who let us know when she started giving birth, (I wondered because she was acting weird) but he heard the puppies and started howling around 3 in the morning letting us know. I got up and Maple was already taking care of the first two that were born, from there 3 more came and then the other 4 and long story short that’s how those nine were born 4 years ago today! I really think that whole experience brought a lot more happiness into all our lives with all the craziness going on (not gonna lie though when they took the puppies in to the vets office and not let us in I got a little bit in Mom mode 😂 that was the first time I was ever away from them) I’m not going to lie it’s hard to make these posts every year, I miss their sister a lot and have even almost called Minnie her name.
But this is also my time to thank all of you for giving them a good life for another year! 💖🎊 So yay Happy 4th Birthday to the first litter!

A year ago today Maple gave birth to a litter just full of personalities! Happy 1st Birthday to all the puppies from the second litter❣️🎉 I can’t believe where time has gone, seeing the photos when they were just a couple days old and then videos where they were running and bumping into each other makes me just miss them so much 🥲 even if they were more of a handful then the other litter! Even though I didn’t completely plan this litter, it does bring me joy that it happened (especially because of Minnie) and they found great families! Thank you for all you do for them and I hope everyone is doing good especially in the areas that were hit by the storm yesterday! 🤍
And just in a week and one day, the 1st litter will be turning 4! 🤗
Of course I did have to include some pictures of Minnie from today and the cake I made, I went kind of all out but almost 8 years of baking cakes for every birthday for each of them kind of gave me practice, plus I’m not sure when we will be ready to add another addition to the family since we’re doing good with 4 dogs! 🐾

Since we’re two months into the year and 2 months closer until the second litter turns one I figured it’s time to give an update and of course see how everyone else is doing! Last year towards the end of the year we actually all went down to Florida and got to visit the beach for the first time! I honestly think stopping and going to visit different campgrounds was probably more exciting to them than the actual beach, well at least to Maple and Bear. Bear loves water and baths but did not want to step into the ocean at all and Maple followed his example so they had more fun walking up and down boardwalks and exploring the parking lots instead 🙄😂 Minnie was actually pretty brave, and decided to go in the water with her aunt Minion (husky) and was smart enough to not drink the ocean water unlike her aunt 😂 (Bear and Maple also had no interest in drinking the ocean also, one smell and they were done) Coming back home we were greeted with a little bit of snow which was fun and then boom big storm! But hey at least I previously bought a coat for Minnie so she was ready for her first official snow! Unfortunately Minnie doesn’t yet understand the concept of a coat so she did try to rip it off her and left a big hole in some of the layers. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Welp turns out she’s actually big enough to fit Maple’s with a little left over space so while the snow was melting she got Maple’s coat and Maple got Bear’s coat. (One thing I have to say is size up and take measurements when it comes to buying any clothing for them! A lot of clothing is made for small dogs and even if you think you have the right size because of their bulkiness or right now since Minnie is tall but skinny things just won’t fit right or will be difficult when taking off my favorite items are the ones with the strap on the chest and stomach area since they make it a lot easier to put on and take off) I also bought them sweaters as soon as I saw them in stores so once it got cold they’d be warm when we went outside. Maple LOVED hers, Bear was happy but I think only mainly because it made me happy since he did somehow take it off himself without ruining it and well like I said Minnie doesn’t understand (as you can see from her face) until she goes outside and is cold and then I put the sweater on and then she’s happy. But hey she’s becoming more photogenic now (the most recent picture of her is with the food bag) and lets me trim her nails with no problems! (Usually Bear and Maple are able to shorten theirs with the walking we do outside but I just recently bought a pair since Minnie’s were getting long) I did include a couple extra pictures because they were laying down cute in their kennels (well Bear was in Maple’s for his picture) and Maple and being a kind of bad influence on Minnie and showing her how to dig! 😂 However she has learned to go and hide stuff outside in holes she digs and completely covers them so it works out for her that she had learned to do that! So yes we’re all doing pretty good, I think the only thing we’re struggling with is Minnie wanting to copy what the other ones want to do which is good and bad but she’s learning but still definitely has puppy brain and will still try and eat anything that looks interesting on the ground. Hope everyone else is doing well, in a couple months we’ll have 1 year olds and the 1st litter will be 4 years old 🥲❤️ Time really flies!

Halloween came so fast this year, I didn’t really have an idea of what type of costume to get Minnie. I saw a picture of a Rottweiler with the sunflower costume and lucky me there was one left at Tractor Supply! I also went to Target and found a butterfly costume also! 💖
Minnie may look cute in the first couple pictures but it’s definitely not easy putting anytime of clothes on dogs whether it’s for fun or to keep them warm. One thing I’ve learned with the others is to put the piece of clothing on and take them outside! It helps get them distracted and gets them more comfortable with the clothing. Treats also help of course, sitting down and then taking the picture while their waiting and eventually they get used to it and look forward to it and know like Maple. I put the sunflower on her and she sat down right away! Minnie looks a lot more happier that she’s wearing the flower than her 😂 It definitely takes time and one thing I’ve learned is don’t expect to take good pictures the same day of, they have their own personalities and working with them when their more willing to sit still and not eat the clothes is a lot more easier and better pictures. (I’ll have to try to take more sunflower pictures of Minnie later on when she’s more willing) Anyways I hope everybody had a good Halloween and that everything is going well! The 2nd litter just hit 6 months old a couple days ago 🥳
