Jeannie's 2

As you know when Cara departs Willow will join us in the bed with the other dogs. So Nathan has been busy teaching Willow how to go up and down the stairs but he hasn't with the other 2 as he is not aware of where they will sleep and he didn't want to create habits the new family's may not want. Besides, they may not have stairs. We have a guy just north of us that built a table that the dogs adore that has an entire section underneath where they can laze and enjoy but it's open with a number of doorways. We also had him build us stairs. If you are interested in solid stairs any colour or size, he is the one to get them from. 

How is Willow doing on the stairs? She seems to now go up and down them. 

Here is a gallery of one of their play sessions.

Someone asked me if they sleep a great deal. At this stage the pups do. They expel so much energy that they crash and take naps during the day. As they get older the naps get fewer and less time. If all they are doing is just hanging out, they will not sleep as much. It's all about how much energy they expel. 

After Bailey departs and we have the duo till the 14th, we were thinking of reducing the size of their pen but then said - why? They seem to be doing well with using the pads.

I wonder how the dynamics will change when Cara departs on the 14th. 

Always changes for them and us at this stage.

Check out the videos.
