💗 “Hello, loyal followers. It is I… Pink Collar Princess of the Piledriver

— ruler of the toy kingdom, defender of the chew sticks, and undefeated champion of the Backyard Wrestling Federation.

I understand there has been… chatter.
Mint — my larger sister — has informed the public that she owns all the toys. This is precious. Truly. But as the official Davis Branch princess, I must correct the record.

If I am sitting on it, near it, or even thinking about it?
It is mine.
That is royal law.

Now, about the wrestling match.
Mint strutted in like she was the reigning queen of the yard. She’s bigger, slightly older, and full of that ‘I run Davis Branch’ energy. But I? I am small, sparkly, and powered by pure princess confidence.
Today’s episode of Bluetick Smackdown features yours truly demonstrating elite wrestling technique on my big sister Mint. Yes, she’s bigger. Yes, she’s bossier. And yes… I still had her flat on her back like a seasoned professional.

So when she came at me…
I flipped her.
Gracefully.
Dramatically.
Like a royal ballerina who moonlights as a pro athlete.

There she was — my big sister — pinned beneath me while I looked at Mom like,
‘Yes, your Highness has arrived.’

Mint blinked up at the sky, probably questioning her life choices.
I gave her a kiss afterward, because princesses are kind… even when they win.

Then I returned to my throne of toys, because a champion must rest. And also because they’re mine. All of them. Please update your records accordingly.

In summary:
💗 Princess Pink owns the toys.
💗 Princess Pink pins bigger sisters.
💗 Princess Pink represents Davis Branch with grace, sparkle, and surprising athleticism.

Thank you for attending today’s royal announcement. Pawtographs will be available after my nap.”

🐾💚 Mint’s Official Growing‑Up Story (As Told by Mint Herself) 💚🐾

“Hi everyone. It’s me — Mint.
The biggest sister.
The toy collector.
The chaos coordinator.
The one who keeps this whole world on schedule… my schedule.”

From the very beginning, I’ve been the big girl of the bunch. Red and Pink have been trying to catch up, but let’s be honest — I set the pace around here. If there’s a platform, I’m climbing it. If there’s a room, I’m supervising it. If there’s attention to be had, I’m taking it.

Sometimes a girl just needs to unwind with a little… enrichment. Maybe it’s a toy. Maybe it’s a piece of straw I found on the floor. Maybe it’s something I’m not technically supposed to have. I don’t make the rules — I just break them with confidence.

And yes, I’m very proud of my “facilities training.” While my siblings are still figuring out where to go, I’ve already mastered the art of doing my business like a civilized lady. I’m basically a prodigy. A genius. A scholar of the potty arts.

Then there’s my favorite part of the day: toy time.
This football? Mine.
The rope toy? Also mine.
Anything Red or Pink thinks they own? Mine the moment I decide it is.

I don’t steal — I simply redistribute resources to the puppy most qualified to enjoy them. That’s leadership.

So there you have it — my glow‑up.
From tiny troublemaker to confident queen, I’ve been busy growing, learning, supervising, chewing, and reminding everyone that I am, in fact, the main character of this litter.

💚 Thanks for following my journey. I’ll allow you to admire me now.

🐾 Red Boy Reporting for Duty! 🐾

“Hi everyone, it’s me — the handsome fella with the red collar.

Today’s adventure? Well, I found this amazing crunchy bottle on the floor... MY BOTTLE. I grabbed it, strutted across the room, and made sure everyone saw.

I carried it around like a trophy because clearly I’m the strongest, smartest, most impressive 12 lb. puppy in this whole place.

I strutted right past the humans like I was carrying the Olympic torch.

Then, I posed on my fluffy bed like a professional model because, I do what I want and let’s be honest, the world deserves to admire me.

Life as the red male puppy at Davis Branch Blueticks is tough…
So many toys to carry.
So many naps to take.
So many people to impress.

But don’t worry — I’m handling it like a champ.”

🐾 Hey everybody, it’s us—Lilly’s babies! 🐾
We heard y’all wanted an update on how we are & what our ticking is looking, so we told Grand Mama to snap a few pictures while we were being extra adorable today.

💗 Pinkie here!
I may look sweet, but don’t let that fool you—I’m the official tussle starter of the group. If there’s wrestling to be done, I’m already in the middle of it. But right before nap time? Oh, I turn into a total marshmallow. Snuggles, kisses, the whole package. I melt hearts for a living.

❤️ Red speaking!
I’m the fun one. Toys? Love them. Running laps? Absolutely. Zoomies? Professional level. I’m basically the entertainment committee around here. Mama says I’m a cutie, and honestly… she’s not wrong.

💚 Mint checking in!
I’m the biggest, and I use my powers wisely—mostly to plow through my siblings like a tiny, spotted bulldozer. I don’t rush for anything, though. Life’s better at my pace. I try to jump, but my legs and my brain don’t always agree, so I’m a little clumsy. Also, I might be a teensy bit bossy… but someone’s gotta keep these two in line.

🐶 And a note from Wendy:
These three are keeping me laughing every single day. Their little personalities are shining through more and more, and I’m loving every minute of watching them grow. Thank you all for following along with their journey — they’re such a joy to share.

🐾House Training Has Officially Begun!

Our little Bluetick babies are starting their very first steps toward house training, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. At this age, we introduce a litter box filled with compressed alfalfa pellets. The natural scent helps the puppies associate the alfalfa with the grass outdoors—making it easier for them to understand where they should be going potty as they grow.

Puppies also have a natural instinct not to potty where they eat, sleep, or play, so giving them a dedicated “bathroom spot” sets them up for success right from the start. As they get older, we’ll gradually move the litter box closer to the exit so they can begin choosing between the box or going outside.

In today’s video, you’ll see our sweet boy giving it his best shot… he almost got his little butt all the way in the box. We’re calling it an A+ for effort and enthusiasm!

These early moments are always such a joy to watch, and I love sharing them with you.

The past week has been an emotional one, and I’ve needed a little time before sharing updates. I haven’t posted puppy pictures because my heart has been heavy.

Earlier this week, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let my little Min Pin, Minnie—my rescue girl of over 12 years—cross the 🌈 Rainbow Bridge. Cancer had taken so much from her, and it was time to let her go to a place where there is no pain, where she can climb her steps to the softest spot on the bed, curl under the blankets for her naps, and wait for me the way she always did. My heart aches knowing I won’t see her ears perk up or feel her excitement when she saw me coming. Caring for her these last few months took time, but it was time well spent, and I would do it all again.

We also faced another loss in Lilly’s litter. Our purple‑collar female was diagnosed with a congenital chest deformity called Pectus Excavatum, where the sternum and chest wall are caved in, making it difficult to breathe. We chose surgical correction and bracing in hopes she could grow and live a normal life, but she never improved the way we hoped. Once again, I had to make the hard call to prevent further suffering.

In the coming days, I’ll do my best to share more puppy pictures. The surviving puppies are growing like weeds, full of personality, and already walking with their eyes wide open. You may notice a small litter box in their whelping area—it’s the start of early house training, and I’ll explain more about that soon.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness, and understanding during a very difficult week.

1 week old bluetick puppies

🐾 Lilly’s Puppies – 1 Week Old Today 🐾

Today we celebrate Lilly’s sweet litter reaching their 1-week milestone. 💕 Our hearts are full watching these little ones grow—4 strong, feisty, plump, and stubborn pups (2 boys & 2 girls) who already show so much personality.

Sadly, not all journeys last as long as we hope. One male and one female pup did not survive to their 1-week birthday. Puppies can appear healthy and lively at birth, yet decline quickly despite every heartbreaking effort to give them the best chance possible. It’s always hard on my heart when this happens, seemingly without reason.

Lilly has felt the loss, showing signs of depression after their removal. She is doing better now, pouring all her love and focus into her 4 surviving babies. Together, they remain under 24-hour watch as we continue to give every ounce of care and protection we can.

✨ Please join me in celebrating these precious lives—both the ones we hold close today and the ones we carry forever in memory.
