What's happening at Farmstead 51 when we don't have puppies?

The presence of dogs in a household significantly alters the daily routine, introducing a blend of joy, responsibility, and structure. Each day begins with the sound of paws padding softly on the floor, eager to greet the morning. The first task of the day often involves taking the dogs outside for their morning bathroom break. This not only provides them with the necessary relief but also allows for some fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. After the outdoor excursion, the next step is typically feeding the dogs. This process may vary depending on the dietary needs and preferences of each dog. For Farmstead 51, this means Life's Abundance All Life Stages plus K9 Thrive probiotic supplement. This feeding time is not just about nutrition; it’s also a moment for bonding, as many of our dogs eagerly anticipate their meals and express their excitement in various ways.

Once the dogs are fed, the household transitions into its daily activities. For us, with an active toddler, this means creating a structure for our morning, afternoon and evening. The dogs often play a role in these processes, either by cleaning one of their areas, organizing for our next litter of puppies or doing necessary administration tasks. The dogs often find cozy spots nearby to rest. As the day progresses, regular playtime becomes essential. This could involve a quick game of fetch in the fenced yard or a brain game if the weather is crumby. These activities are crucial for the dogs' physical health and mental stimulation, helping to keep them happy and engaged. Midday might bring another short break for the dogs, allowing them to relieve themselves and perhaps enjoy a small snack or treat. This is also a good time for some training exercises, reinforcing good behavior and commands.

As the day winds down, the evening routine begins, which includes dinner, playtime, and finally, settling in for the night. Overall, living with dogs means embracing a lifestyle that prioritizes their needs while enriching the lives of everyone in the household. Each day is filled with moments that require attention, love, and care, ultimately leading to a joyful and fulfilling life for both dogs and their owners.
