We absolutely love receiving updates from our puppy families. It’s been about 5+ weeks since they went to their families and all of the updates have been very positive. My heart is overjoyed and absolutely overflowing with gratitude. Here are some photos of the photos we have received this week of Tully’s puppies thriving and growing— 😍😍😍😍

🐾 A LITTLE FAVOR FROM OUR AT THE CROSS FAMILIES 🤍

As our sweet puppies are settling into their new homes, we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one of you who trusted us to be part of your journey 🥹

If you have a minute, we would be SO grateful if you would leave us a review on Facebook! ⭐️

Reviews mean more to us than you probably realize. They help future families feel confident in choosing a breeder, and they allow others to hear directly from the families who have actually experienced the At The Cross journey from beginning to go-home day 🐶🤎

Whether you share a favorite photo, a little update about your puppy, or simply tell us about your experience, we would genuinely love to hear from you!

Thank you for trusting us with your family, loving our babies so well, and allowing us to continue doing what we love. 🤍

If you haven’t left your review yet, we’d be incredibly thankful if you would take a few minutes to do so! 🐾✨

Tully is adjusting to an empty nest pretty fairly if I do say so myself. She sure does love having all the toys to herself.

Go-home day is always so bittersweet. 🥹🐾

Today, our babies started their next chapter with the families who have been patiently waiting for them. Watching each puppy leave our home, knowing how deeply loved and cared for they are, makes all the late nights, early mornings, messes, milestones, and puppy snuggles completely worth it.

These puppies have been raised with so much love, intention, and socialization from the very beginning. We’ve watched their little personalities develop, celebrated every milestone, and poured our hearts into preparing them for their families.

To each of our puppy families — thank you for trusting us with such a special part of your family. We hope you know just how much these puppies mean to us and how grateful we are that we get to watch them grow from a distance. ❤️

And to our sweet puppies… you may be leaving our home today, but you will always be one of our babies. 🐶🤎

Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, cuddles, happy memories, and being very, very spoiled. 🥰

Welcome home, babies. Your families have been waiting for you. 🏡

She loves her car rides. 🚘

Our backyard backs up to a railroad, and the puppies were outside eating dinner when the train came through.

They all looked up, paused for a second, and then just went right back to eating like nothing happened. The train is LOUD, and it vibrates the walls of our home.

This was their first time being in the backyard when the train passed so I was honestly really proud of their startle recovery. They noticed it, took a second to process it, and then went right back to what they were doing.

This is exactly why we put so much effort into exposure and desensitization from day one. We want them to experience different sounds, environments, surfaces, handling, and everyday life in a safe and positive way.

You can’t always prevent a puppy from being startled by something, but you can help teach them that being startled doesn’t have to mean being afraid.

These little moments are so rewarding to watch because they’re exactly what we’re working toward. 🐾

Happy 7️⃣ weeks, sweet pups!

They are becoming more confident, playful, independent, and curious by the day! They’re eating well, playing HARD, and then crashing for the sweetest puppy naps.

The kids and I will be soaking up lots of extra individual playtime, and one-on-one cuddles this week as we get closer to their graduation from our care.

Soon, these precious puppies we’ve loved and cared for every single day will be leaving our home and stepping into the homes of people who have already made a place for them in their hearts. And while that transition will undoubtedly be bittersweet, knowing they are going to such incredible humans makes it a little easier.
