5 Weeks and a Day

Its so interesting watching the age difference with Jeannie and Spice pups. There is a significant difference in size between Spice's littlest one and the Jeannie pups but not so much different from some of Spice's larger ones. Last week Spices were hovering up against each other at 3 weeks and Jeannie's was adventurous souls at 4 weeks. Now at 4 and 5 weeks they are both adventurous but capabilities are different. Jeannie's has had a week of developing their skills. Still, in the few weeks before they go home they will be similar in capabilities.
My routine is to make sure the pups eat off mom then I put some mousse and today I put some ground up kibble and a sprinkle of chicken just for the Jeannie's pups. Spices pups got mousse too.
Their bowels are changing with the introduction of food. Their systems are adjusting nicely. They are sleeping longer.
If I have the audacity to have Spice's pups out eating then the Jeannie pups let me know with low whimpers.
Jeannie's pups now have a water dish in their pen and we will start adding the ground kibble to their pen at night so they know they have food available at night till their tummies get large enough to not have food at night. We eliminate the night feeding before they go home. The goal is to get them sleeping all night long.
Issue is Jeannie ate most of the last batch I created. Dennis may have to leave the gate closed till feeding time as our goal is to eliminate the need for mom at night in the next couple of days for the Jeannie crew. They will be going upstairs without mom but we will be able to watch them and certainly hear them.
Some of the Jeannie crew are attempting to maul the Spice crew so I am purposely taking all 10 out to feed together at least twice a day. The last feeding they did well as 10. But I didn't videotape as I was spending time watching. No one attempted to maul anyone. Even with Jeannie's crew going upstairs at night Dennis will still have an additional week with Spices and hopefully by then they will also be upstairs and Dennis' night watch comes to an end.
Jeannie's pups will have a bath this Friday as they have a puppy visit. Spices will not till the next week.
Wow life is changing. I have to admit Dennis would love to be in his bed and I don't blame him. One more week and a couple of days and he should be.

I love following Creamy. He seems to be very confident for such a young pup.
We are soooo excited for our first visit!!!!! These pups are just adorable.
4 baths and they will be ready. :-)
Creamy is indeed a character.
