Five Weeks Old Today

Oh my we had a spill today - well I did. I was going into the xpen and have no idea how it happened but I almost fell on a pup (thank gad I didn't), scraped up my leg - bruised immediately and bleeding and hurt my wrist, hand and arm. I am hoping with ice and rest that goes. Of course its my grooming arm.

Well, the pups are enjoying the time together. When Nathan is away I will have to feed Spice's first then Panda's and Roxies but for now Nathan is helping and maybe when Nathan is away Dennis can do the sisters or Spice. We shall see.

The moms are really enjoying this experience. They are spending more time outside of the pen as pups are playing and eating food as well.

We are cleaning up after pups more it seems but I think its just the sheer number in one pen and that will sort itself out. It always does. Remember we had 10 with Spice her last litter. They are also babies.

I am still cleaning bums. I need to clean up by trimming that area on all. It will be interesting doing that now but maybe tomorrow after the arm/hand rests.

The first puppy visit is on the 5th. Oh boy that means 12 puppy baths and photos and 3 moms to wash. I may have to do this over a 2 day period. We shall see.

Roxie is really a great mom. She kisses and coddles all. Nathan looked at all 3 moms and said we could never do this if they didn't have the temperament that they do and it is true.

As you can see in this video they are using the pad. They are also eating and playing with each other.

They also love, love, love this bed so much so we will buy a couple of more. The adults - the pups all love it. I don't put them in. They just climb in. Usually they don't take to a bed in quite this way. Oh, they like them but this one they are crazy about.
