Meet the Pool Puppies!



These tiny Chiweenie puppies may weigh less than 4 pounds, but these 9-10 week old pups start every day with big puppy energy. Bikini and Kickboard are early birds, usually waking up between 6 and 7 a.m. ready to tackle the day's important business: a potty break and playtime with their resident dog friend.



After breakfast, the fun continues. The puppies spend the morning playing with toys, wrestling with each other, and engaging their much larger canine buddy in games. Once they've burned through their first burst of energy, they're happy to head back to their pen for a well-earned nap while their foster family goes to work.



Their days revolve around the perfect puppy schedule: breakfast, lunch when someone is home, dinner around 5 or 6 p.m., plenty of play sessions, and lots of naps. When their foster returns home from work, Bikini and Kickboard greet them like long-lost heroes. They eagerly head outside for a potty break and then settle in for an evening filled with toys, sunshine, and cuddles. While they're still babies and use pee pads in their pen during the workday, they're learning more every day.



One of their favorite activities is stretching out in a sunny spot to soak up the warmth before eventually migrating to the couch. There, they'll happily fall asleep next to their people while they work or watch TV. Bikini prefers to rest her head on a welcoming leg, while Kickboard's favorite place is sprawled across someone's chest.



Bikini is the outgoing social butterfly of the pair. She's confident, playful, and just a little bit rowdy in the most entertaining way. She loves launching herself onto the couch to be close to her people and is always ready to wrestle with the resident dog. Bikini approaches life with enthusiasm, whether she's chasing a toy, exploring something new, or diving into her food bowl. This girl loves her kibble almost as much as she loves attention.



Kickboard is a gentle sweetheart with a soft and thoughtful nature. While he enjoys playing with the resident dog, his style is much calmer and more polite than Bikini's enthusiastic wrestling matches. He adores toys and often gathers them up and carries them to his bed, where he'll quietly entertain himself. Kickboard has mastered the art of the soulful puppy stare and seems happiest when he's snuggled up with his favorite person. If you're looking for a puppy who wants to be your devoted cuddle companion, Kickboard is ready to apply for the job.



Together, Bikini and Kickboard are the perfect combination of playful puppy antics and heart-melting affection. Whether they're sunbathing, playing with toys, cuddling on the couch, or charming everyone they meet, these little pups prove that the best things really do come in small packages.
