Midwestern Rottweilers

Can you guys believe what day it is? 🥲 The second litter is turning two day and are no longer puppies! But they sure will have that puppy energy for a couple more years so no slowing down for a while! Looking at the pictures made me remember how fun it was to take care of them and how fast they grow! 9 weeks went by so fast and so did two years, here’s to making more memories! Happy 2nd Birthday❣️🎉

I decided to make Minnie some birthday cupcakes and even though she was a little too excited at first, she did end up sitting down for some pictures. Her and Minion are basically best friends since they are both high energy. Bear and Maple are also doing good and seem to enjoy when they have their alone time together. I meant to make a post earlier this year but Maple and Minnie went into heat during Christmas so no holiday photos and it felt like anytime we had snow it was just so cold and hard for the dogs to enjoy. Let’s hope spring isn’t too harsh and everyone stays safe with all the storms we’ve been having 🤍

Happy Monday everyone! I know it’s been a couple days since Halloween, but Minnie was acting like a teenager and not really wanting to wear her costume so it took me a couple days to try and get a decent picture. Maple on the other hand 😍 let’s face it her pictures turned out great, I even bought them pumpkins earlier in October to take pictures with her and well Maple clearly has the best picture! Anyways since the last update; Bear has now been neutered (Maple is 6 and having her get pregnant again would be a bigger risk plus with Minnie it just seemed like the best decision for everyone) Since he’s been intact for most of his life I haven’t noticed any behavior changes except him marking everywhere. So anyone with an intact male knows how much they just love to mark, even if it’s just a little dribble 😂 Luckily he’s never tried to mark up the inside of the house but it does make it easier when going outside especially in public. Maple, absolutely loves Minnie. She is an amazing mom and basically lets Minnie do whatever which is nice but you know sometimes has it’s downsides (Minnie will want to play with Maple and just start biting her face and Maple lets her. But because Maple lets her she thinks she can do it to the other two and the other ones aren’t big fans of that) So I have to be the one correcting this behavior more, besides that they all get along great and are all constantly learning new things from each other. And well Minnie, that picture of her on the propane tank should tell you enough 😅😂 (I have no idea where she got the idea or how she even managed to do it but she jumped on there herself and started walking on it, luckily only did it one time) But she is so curious about different things, luckily she is a good listener so she doesn’t really get herself into too much trouble. And thanks to the help of her aunt (she has the best nose out of all of them) she has discovered her love of mulberries, apples and corn! So besides being able to run around all the time outside is probably her favorite place to be! I ended up picking a lot more photos than I usually do, time has been going by so fast so hopefully I can get a nice photo of them around Christmas for our next update! Or maybe when it snows! It sure will be interesting if it snows a lot this year! Hope everybody is doing well! 🤗

A year ago today Maple gave birth to a litter just full of personalities! Happy 1st Birthday to all the puppies from the second litter❣️🎉 I can’t believe where time has gone, seeing the photos when they were just a couple days old and then videos where they were running and bumping into each other makes me just miss them so much 🥲 even if they were more of a handful then the other litter! Even though I didn’t completely plan this litter, it does bring me joy that it happened (especially because of Minnie) and they found great families! Thank you for all you do for them and I hope everyone is doing good especially in the areas that were hit by the storm yesterday! 🤍
And just in a week and one day, the 1st litter will be turning 4! 🤗
Of course I did have to include some pictures of Minnie from today and the cake I made, I went kind of all out but almost 8 years of baking cakes for every birthday for each of them kind of gave me practice, plus I’m not sure when we will be ready to add another addition to the family since we’re doing good with 4 dogs! 🐾
