Sophie & Braden Meet the Children
I have so much to talk about and I feel so behind with my blogging! This post happened over a week ago, but I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had a chance to talk about it.
I’ve been taking Braden and Sophie with me everywhere, and especially to places that have children. On this evening, we all went to Pathfinders, a youth activity with our church that my children are involved in. Wow, was it ever eye-opening to realize that children are loud, quick with movements, and they can be quite overwhelming to a puppy! My kids are generally calm at home I guess because though these pups have been around them quite a bit, it wasn’t the same as at the church.
Two of the younger girls were enamored with Braden and Sophie, and they both passed hands throughout the entire evening! I also let the kids take them for a walk, which now is no problem for either of them, but on that particular night, they weren’t so sure about walking with a strange child.
Even though Sophie is a little more than a lapful, or an armful, they toted her around like she was their favorite dollie! Sophie just tolerated it. As it was her first experience with this, I’m not sure she “relished” it, but she was very good mannered and just let them do whatever they wanted to do. I”m sure she would wear a Halloween Costume if someone put it on her because she just is sweet like that.
Braden did really well too, and I think he actually gave a few kisses while in the arms of the girls! By the end of the night, both pups had tails wagging, and they were willingly coming up to fingers stretched out for sniffing!
It is our goal to take the Accelerated Puppies that have had their 2nd shot, with us to expose them to the ride in the car, children, and different sights and sounds. ChocoBoy and Molly were not with us on this night, but they have been integrated and are coming with us now when we go to town. I’ll be sure to post some pictures of them and their adventures soon!
Introducing Molly & Braden – Accelerated Puppies in Training
I would like everyone to officially meet Annie’s Tri puppies, who now have names! The puppy on the left is “Molly”, and the puppy on the right is “Braden”. We’ve been loving these puppies and playing with them, but we’ve just been calling them, “here puppy, puppy”, so it’s alway so nice when we find out what their name is going to be, and we can begin using the names with the puppies.
The other night, Molly & Braden watched a movie with us on the couch. Well, let’s say, we all tried to watch a movie, while Molly & Braden wiggled, and wiggled, and wiggled, and wiggled, and wiggled. I thought of the perfect solution to all the wiggling, and gave them a Bully Stick, which worked, and didn’t work at the same time.
It worked because they both stopped wiggling and began chewing ferociously on the thing, but in the process of doing this, instead of wiggles, we had gnaw, squeak, gnaw, squeak, gurgle, squeak, gnaw…to listen to while we watched. The noise was much more tolerable than the movement, so we settled for it and finished our movie.
During the last 5 minutes, we separated the puppies, and Braden fell asleep on my chest, while Molly finally curled up between me and Kaelyn. We watched some of the special features, even though it was late, simply to let ourselves enjoy the cozy puppies, if but for a moment!!
Molly on the left, Braden on the right. I know, it’s blurry. They wouldn’t stop moving!!
Braden, a gorgeous Tri Color Cavachon puppy. This color is rare, and doesn’t come around too often!

A view of their coats.
Close up of Molly. This was actually a photo of the two of them, but Braden was so blurry, I decided to just crop Molly out, blow it up a bit, and use it anyway! Her tan points aren’t as prominent as her brother, but she is gorgeous just the same!
Looking all smug like they were perfect angels the entire evening. Ummm, NOT!!
Because Cyndie Asked Me To
The process of choosing a puppy is quite involved, and often involves more than one family! Cyndie is waiting to see which puppy Connie chooses, because she’s getting “the other one”. There is no hurry, because both families have chosen for their pup to join our Accelerated Puppy program once they turn 8 weeks old.
That means Tri Guy and Choco Boy will be around here for a while, learning their manners, learning how to potty on the UGODOG, learning how to walk on a leash, eventually sleeping in their crates, and getting neutered if they’re here long enough.
We’re really going to get to know these two puppies and we’re excited that they will be joining our family. Raising an Accelerated Puppy means that they become part of our family, going places with us, getting groomed regularly, going on daily walks, sleeping in our house, and hanging out on our furniture. Yep, we’re going to know Tri Guy and Choco Boy REALLY WELL!!
We sure won’t mind having them around!
“I love you.”
“I love you too”
“You’re my best friend.”
“You’re my best friend too.”
Can they get any cuter?
“Hang on, we’ll be cute in a minute. What’s that over there…”
“Aww, nothin’.”
“Ok, I’m cute again.”
“This is my pal, Choco Boy.”
“Are we almost done?”
“Hurry up and take the picture. We’re sitting perfectly and this takes too much energy!”
“Actually, I’m bored.”
“What’s this?”
” This is WAY MORE FUN now!!”
“Pick Me!!”
“No, Pick Me!!!!”
Because Connie Asked Me To
It is so much fun to watch the puppies grow into adorable balls of fluff! As their hair takes on more personality, so does each puppy, and seeing them interact together, set boundaries with each other, and generally just play until they drop with exhaustion….well, that is the fun part of raising puppies!!
Connie is trying to decide between these two puppies, and she asked me for some more pictures. So here they are. I love working with buyers when the puppies are young. There is so much anticipation and wondering what they’re going to look like as adults. And each puppy is so different. It’s hard to decide!!
“Tri Guy” and “Hunk o’ Chocolate” (aka Choco Boy) hung out on the barn porch yesterday, and boy did they have fun!
As expected, Tri Guy, since after all, he is almost 4 weeks older, took the lead, but this time Hunk o’ Chocolate wasn’t far behind him!
Tri Guy is petit in how he is built. He is a willowy pup, feels lightweight in comparison to Choco Boy. Tri Guy also has long legs, or at least they are longer than Choco’s legs.
Choco Boy continues to amaze me with his unique coat coloring. His coat is thick, wavy, and full of color everywhere!
He is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it!
He looks good from every angle!
But Tri Guy is just as cute. He is a vibrant Tri color Cavachon, and those don’t come around too often. He needs a little haircut around his eyes. I think I’ll do that today.
He’s just pretending to be tired here. The fun had only just begun!
They were like brothers playing, Tri Guy showing Choco Boy the ropes. Choco Boy getting messy along the way!
A spontaneous smooch is always welcome with puppies. They do stuff like that.
“Look how cute I am with that piece of straw on my nose!”
“Look at me, I can pull off a regal look. Just watch me.”
See how short Choco Boy’s legs are?
“What is that thing you’re holding? I need to sniff it!”
Tri Guy is a little taller than Choco Boy, but I’m sure weighs less. It’s like the difference between a ballerina and a wrestler.
“Let’s sit by the watering can and pretend we’re tired.”
“Naaa, I’d rather chew on her finger.”
“Ok then. I’ll see what this red thing tastes like.”
“Are we done yet??”
(Tri Guy comes from Annie & Skippy. Choco Boy comes from Daisychon & Pujo)

A Closer Look at Annie’s Tri Male
We weighed this little guy today and discovered he was much smaller than Chocolate Boy, even though he is 3 weeks older. He weighed in at just 2 lbs., 7oz., which means he is probably going to be less than 15 lbs as an adult. He sure packs a lot of cute into that tiny little body!!
