Pick Day for Patsy’s Fruit Litter – 6 Weeks Old

Today was a big milestone for Patsy’s Fruit Litter—the puppies turned six weeks old, and that means it was pick day!

After today's vet visit and good reports, we reached out to each of the new families. We helped them choose between their favorite puppies.

Here’s where each of our sweet “fruits” will be headed:

Lime → Buffalo, New York

Blackberry → Fort Myers, Florida

Orange → Rapid City, South Dakota

Kiwi → Seattle, Washington

Plum → Huntsville, Alabama

Raspberry → Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Even though their forever homes are decided, the puppies will remain with us until they are at least eight weeks old. The next two weeks are some of the most important in their development. During this stage, we’ll continue working on socialization, desensitization, and confidence-building activities—introducing them to new textures, sounds, people, and experiences. This helps prepare them for all of the adventures that await in their new homes.

Educational Tip 🐾

At six to eight weeks old, puppies are still in what’s called the “critical socialization window.” Experiences during this time make a lasting impression on how they view the world. Positive exposure to everyday sights and sounds—like vacuum cleaners, doorbells, and car rides—helps them grow into calm, confident adult dogs.

We are so excited for the next chapter in these puppies’ journeys. Their families are eagerly awaiting them, and we’ll keep sharing updates until the big day comes for each pup to go home.

Stay tuned—lots more fun to come over the next couple of weeks!
