Mother's Day weekend, May 13
Happy Mother's Day!
Our wonderful CHC families are in final countdown mode (T-4 days) and eagerly awaiting pick up day, when they can finally bring home their fur-ever Cockapoo puppy.
We've absolutely fallen in love with Apple's Periodic Table litter and feel blessed to have been the ones to help them learn about the world around them - and show them that they are loved, people are good, the world is amazing, and they have what it takes to make it!
Though we've laid a wonderful foundation, the work to have a wonderful puppy become a well-adjusted dog continues with their new families, whose job will be to build relationships with their new pups - provide positive exposure activities and socialization - and create a nurturing and safe environment where their pup will feel loved and safe.
So, here they are - for their last photo shoot here at CHC. We will miss you so little ones, but we know you are going to be cherished and adored.
💙 VAN (Red male Cockapoo Puppy with white markings) ,now Dillon, will be making his fur-ever home in New Hampshire.
💙 BIS (Red male Cockapoo Puppy with white markings) will be making his fur-ever home in Connecticut.
❤️ RU (Red FEmale Cockapoo Puppy with white markings) will be making her fur-ever home in Massachusetts.
❤️ CALI (Apricot FEmale Cockapoo Puppy), now Snuggles, will be making her fur-ever home in Rhode Island.
❤️ INDI (Dark Apricot FEmale Cockapoo Puppy), now Lemy Lou, will be making her fur-ever home in Boston.
Photo shoot Fun
Group Play, May 2
Getting big now, the pups got to have playtime with their big sister, Charlotte Ann. During their time in our home, the pups have play and interaction with our mommas - all of whom have different play styles (as is the case out and about in the world). The pups gain valuable understanding of how to handle "different" in a safe and controlled manner.
Charlotte's manner of play: vocal (she likes to talk). But, if you watch her body language her tail is playful (wagging, held high), her body fluid (soft and not tense) and she even does a play bow (appeasement gesture, looking for engagement from the pups).
Momma Eevee kept a loving eye on her littles, offering a reassuring presence.
We can entertain ourselves, april 21
As important as socialization, enrichment opportunities, and engaged play - is the ability for puppies to entertain themselves.
To be able to play nicely, rest when needed, and understand it's ok to "be alone" is an important part of raising up a well-adjusted puppy.
And their antics - adorable! Indi decided her own leg was just as fun as playing with her brothers and sisters....ok, maybe even more.
Personality and Play, april 21
Apple's adorable Cockapoo puppies turned four weeks this Wednesday!
🐾 They've moved out of their whelping box into their pup pen.
🐾 They've started pellet training (and have not had an accident yet!).
🐾 They've started crawling through tunnels (Cali was the first), though they are all loving them now.
🐾 They've gone from snuggle, sleep, eat to eat, play, play, snuggle, sleep - repeat.
🐾 They've really begun to enjoy their toys (Cali and Indi adore the rattle, while Van and Bis like the ball, and Ru likes the tube and bone).
We've gone outside, met other momma dogs (safely and gently, one at a time), played in different rooms of the house, taken walks outside (while being carried) and played outdoors on the grass and pavers.
We work to positively expose them to novel environments and are enjoying seeing their personalities develop.
With mild spring temps, we opted for an outdoor photo shoot. The pups were amazing, and adorable - our neighbor saw and just had to get in on the snuggles. ❤️🐾💙

Our Day, April 17 & 18
My morning journaling and "quiet time" quite typiclally turns into puppy snuggles and little boys finding their way to my bed. 🐾💙
Out and about.
Hello Spring, april 14
So thankful for breaks in the rain - for fresh air, birds chirping, trees budding, grass "greening", and pups to love on and expose to the world.
Two Weeks (already?), April 5
Apple's Cockapoo puppies have their eyes open and are now able to see and hear the world around them. They have begun taking very wobbly steps around and are the best snugglers (as long as they have a full belly).
The puppies had their first photo shoot today, and I am so excited to start reaching out to eager CHC families....I wonder where these little pups will make their fur-ever home....Boston? Cape Cod? New York City? Connecticut? Rhode Island? Right here in NH?

Good Momma, April 3
It's wonderful to see how trusting our mommas are of us.
Tyler brought Ru (Apple's Cockapoo puppy) in to see me (while I was having morning quiet time - I love to journal) and Apple (who was already in there) calmly came to check things out - but after seeing her pup was loved and being safely held she ventured off (looking so proud of her beautiful puppy).
My helpers, March 29
Cutest helpers I know.....
Drew and Reid are wonderfully helpful to me when it's time to care for our pups. Today, they held and snuggled with Apple's Cockapoo puppies while I cleaned the whelping pen. My heart melts when I see how gentle and tender they are with them.
Labor and Delivery, March 22
Apple began showing early signs of labor on Tuesday evening. We set up sleeping bags and camped out by her side throughout the night with hopes of welcoming her litter....and our hopes became reality at 3:23am when we welcomed her first Cockapoo pup, a handsome boy! Apple wasted no time in delivering the rest of her babes (5 in total) by 5:15am!
With our current homeschool study focused on Chemistry, our name theme of course had to be the Periodic Table.
Welcome to the Chesley Hill Cockapoos family, listed in birth order:
V - Vanadium (to be called VAN 💙)
Bi - Bismuth (to be called BIS 💙)
Rb - Rubidium (to be called RU ❤️)
Cf - Californium (to be called CALI ❤️)
In - Indium (to be called INDI ❤️)
* Please note - these pups are spoken for by families currently on our waiting list.

but it still takes a village

Belly rubs and love for momma, March 13
Late in pregnancy, we like to stick close to home and our sweet girls side.
Apple loves belly rubs and we love our Apple.
