Juggling Times

DateWednesday, September 3, 2014 at 2:10PM

I am washing several dogs today for others so I am juggling doing it between feedings. So - I am late at updating. I still have 2 dogs to go. I was hoping for the pool. Maybe after the next 2 groomings.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThe pups are doing something I never noticed in other pups - well at least a couple are. I placed new blankets dpown and they are sniffing to see what it is. It's a riot.

Sniffing the Blanket

I hope I managed to catch it in action. I don't have time to review them so I am just putting the videos up.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThe mostly white with colored cheeks gal is highly curious. She tries to look out for mom. Yes, her eyes are wide open now.

Trying to Look Out

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThere she goes again. She resisted having her eyes open and now that they are open she hasn't looked back. She is a true character.

They are all trying to walk, play with mom now and interact. It's real basic stuff but they will continue to perfect their skills. I am impressed.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewI have taken them out to the rug that is in front of the whelping box to change their bedding. They seem to be FASCINATED. It is a riot to watch.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThey are also practicing rollovers and doing it on purpose. I have to laugh.

Rollovers

Now they eat, they play and interact with me or mom and then they sleep. As they get older that play time will be for a longer time.

Here are last night and today's videos - well more of them.

They sure seem more alert now that the eyes are open. I love the rollovers! I have a feeling they will try to climb out of the whelping box sooner than normal! Wonderful to watch.

I have to laugh at this crew. The eyes went open and the games began. I also think its a riot that they are sniffing up the blankets you brought. The more white gal has already had her paw up on the railings.

The idea that these small creatures want to investigate their surroundings by sniffing
is amazing. Watching their progress must be very rewarding.
