I got in my car yesterday and this started playing on Bluetooth. Just puppy foster things!! The pups listen to a lot of music, audiobooks, and desensitization playlists 😂

This was a crazy move

it’s adorable and it’s also teaching them so much about how to interact with other dogs! They’ll ultimately learn how to draw and respect boundaries and what’s appropriate play from each other.

yesterday the puppies turned four weeks old! Which means we started the weaning process.

Here are some videos of how it went:

Newt got to work on her brewery dog skills this evening and it was a success. Ate some dinner and had a beer while there was live music, and some people walking around. It wasn’t very busy so it was good for her to not feel too overwhelmed. She ended up falling asleep under the table 🥹

sorry to hurt you’ll feelings but you’ll never be cuter than Newt with her puppy eyes + fleece plaid combo

the hallowed hounds have had a busy couple days! My neighbors visited them yesterday and today my friend came by with her son. Even at so young an age the puppies are benefiting from these visits. I can already tell very individual personalities and love seeing them interact with new people.

Proud of this girl for coming out of her shell more every day!!

but after just about 10 minutes of us walking around there was a noticeable change in her body language which you can see in this video.
Socialization isn’t always about meeting new people or dogs. Sometimes it’s just expanding their world!

Newt had the day off today but yesterday I brought her to my parents’ house to roam their backyard. No other dogs or people around, just her getting to freely explore. In this video you’ll see how nervous and timid she was at first,

So thankful for my Bluesky family!! Yall celebrate my wins with me, & grieved alongside me through my losses. Animal rescue can be isolating & heavy, & can shine a light on the worst of humanity. Y’all help me see the best of it. Always so grateful for yall.
Happy Thanksgiving from camp carter.

she even took treats from a wild turkey (my nephew) 😂🦃 All in all it was a really positive experience for her. We’re finding our way back to the pup she used to be!

so it was a great experience for Newt. We were able to observe the chaos and realize it’s not scary! She made a new baby friend that she LOVED. She kept approaching him all in her own with her tail wagging and wanting to give him kisses.

adventures with Newt! yesterday we drove to my sister’s house & walked to her neighborhood playground. Newt did such a great job walking next to the stroller, which can be a little intimidating. The playground had some commotion with kids coming & going, swinging, sliding, running, etc.

yesterday was the first time Newt played with a toy since being back. She’s a playful girl this morning too! It’s so good to see her get her puppy spark back 🥹

after that we sat outside to do some people watching away from the crowd (and the full band). Newt had amazing manners and sat by my side or under the table with no complaints! It was a really good outing for this girl, she’s starting to gain her confidence back a little more everyday!
