I already knew Lenore Severni (Stonewall Farm Labradors) knows how to breed and raise puppies, but when Maria and I went to see her on Tuesday, I was impressed by her attention to detail and the hard work she does getting her puppies healthy and ready for the world.

Today she sent me a new video celebrating the puppies move to an adjoining bigger pen, where they can navigate their first stop, play with one another and move around more freely.

I can’t really tell which one of these dogs is Zinnia, although I have a guess. I am lucky to be getting a dog in such good hands, Lenore doesn’t just feed the puppies, she is there at every step of their development.

They are now on dry puppy food. Three weeks to go.
