Leti as a Puppy

Thought you may want to see a puppy photo of Leti when she was the age the pups will be when they are going home.

Short blogs today as its almost bedtime. Forgive me! I also have an insane week as I have moms to wash, 14 pups and all the normal scheduled things.

Here is today's gallery.

Running and Jumping

The pups are pretty good at the run game now. They also climb up and down on the ramp. By the time you see them in a week they will be wild things - well not really but pretty good at hopping, running, playing with toys and much more.

See the gallery.

I am so impressed how they perfect their skills day by day.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Hmm But This is Leti's Blog

One of these pups is not like the others. LOL

Here is the gallery.

If you look real close you will notice one of Leti's pups is standing on its legs eating from Cinnamon. Then, as the smallest, she went over to her mom and drank again. I have to laugh. She is such a scrapper. Meaning she has a truly fun personality and will get what she wants how she wants. Little does not mean you can't have a big personality. This one does.

Be sure to check out the videos.

But you won't see them for a week and they change dramatically in just days.

Survival

Well, I watched the pups too much last night. I am tired.

Here is the gallery of upstairs.

How did they do? Wonderful. They slept for the most part and either went on the pad or just on the pish pad. They played, they crawled into the crate and slept and didn't make a peep this morning.

Raven passed out last night - tired to the world on her back. She knows the drill. Cinnamon went to the door a few times but all and all she slept. Leti was checking the ipad and making sure I was looking.

Be sure to watch the videos.

Mother and Daughter Talk

Sometimes Leti has a serious talk with her pups. She makes sure that they are well taken care of and they are doing the right thing. I just love Leti and her style.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Teething and More

It's important that they have teething toys now. They want to chew on everything.Teeth are coming in day to day.

Here is the gallery.

They also had exposure to some of the adults though Murphy initially played with them she said, oh my gad there are so many. She was good though. LOL Be sure to watch the videos to see what I mean.

We have a date for their shots, checkup and microchip. Our vet is coming to the house. That means we have to take a few car rides with them so they get that exposure too. If weather cooperates, the date is December 9th. If its bad weather it will be December 10th.

1st Kitchen Visit

We do not usually do a kitchen visit at this age but out they came. No one was nervous and they played all over the place. Now as I type, they want to go again. They had 2 play sessions today.

Here is the kitchen gallery.

I am so impressed with the 14. Tomorrow we put them in one pen and only separate for feeding. Tuesday night they head upstairs if the all together 14 works.

Be sure to check out the videos.

4 Weeks 5 Days

We really have some real characters in this bunch. They each are quite something else. Each day I click and watch and laugh.

Here is the gallery of 14.

The chocolate gal hops and hops as she runs. You will see it in one of the videos.

Leti now growls at the dogs that want to feed off of her that have teeth. By the time you see them, they will all have teeth. They are coming in fast and furious.

The pups are truly delicious!

4 Weeks 4 Days

To reduce my workload and give me more time to play with the pups and do all the things I need to, I will be only doing one gallery placed on 1 blog. It will be rotated daily.

What I found interesting today is Cinnamon fed everyone's pups and the moms said - ok.

I think that is wonderful. Got to love moms that work with each other.

Mother's Are Special

I have some really great moms. The pups end up being loving beings due to it!

Here is today's gallery of all 14. As I have a dematting and we are going out, the blogs will be short.

I will not be doing individual galleries due to time constraints.

We had them upstairs once again and all are doing really well.
