Day 18

Have to check when we took the Adele pups out of the pen but today is the day, I believe for the Roxie crew. It won't be till after Dennis is up. He carries things upstairs that are removed. :-) I suppose I could do it all myself but why. Got Nathan to carry the box upstairs but Dennis will take out the heat lamp etc. as its no longer needed.

Okay, I did it myself and took video. They are doing really well and it appears they are making use of more landscape to play. Bravo. Though Roxie is watching those other pups between the pens as if to say, will you be okay with MY babies?

It is like magic. More space, more working those legs. I do believe this is the right timing. They get exposed to so much more when outside of their whelping box. We used to wait till later till they started climbing out of their box but I am finding this more aware of the surroundings a positive thing.

Here's some videos showing you their pre and after change experience.

Right, why? You should take that stance a lot more often :-)

Those pups sure have all the comfort they need. Beautiful to watch them in their new digs, and soon they will mingle with Roxie's pups. Where did the time go since they were born?

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper

I know it goes by so fast in some ways and so slow in other ways. I bet you Dennis is waiting till he can sleep in his bed again.

That pink lobster Nathan gave it to me as a joke for Valentines day. The pups LOVE it. I do too. It's rather cute.

October 27, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

LOVE the pink lobster!

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper

Love the lobster too. But, it seems like miles for these little ones to get to their potty pads. The galleries show how beautiful and sweet each one is. It's a good thing I'm not doing the choosing, how could one decide based on pics?

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

Beautiful. Roxie's babies will be running around in their new digs very soon.

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

Such great videos, the pups are amazing and Roxie such a good mom as all your girls are! So mich fun watching these little ones explore and learn and get so much love!
That lobster is so cute/funny and Nathan is quite the romantic..lol!

They are too young for Pad Training but just like Adele's we will place them on after each meal. They will learn with repetition. Its not too far away The setup is exactly the same as Adele's in size. The placement of the pad is just different.

Shelley: Every once in awhile he surprises me. He used to say - okay what do you want.

October 27, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Yeah ... We're free! Now the fun really begins for these little guys. (I thought it was a pink frog ... Somehow the lobster seems more romantic than a frog ... Lol and you certainly can't say it's not a creative gift 😊

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterChristine & Clarity

Amazing videos!
Incredible pups!

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterLiz and Abby

Shh Nathan calls it a lobster. I do believe its a frog. hahahaha I think the intent was there

October 27, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

That's too cute ... Shall we just call it a froglob then?

October 27, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterChristine & Clarity

The x-pen is beautiful. It has everything. The pups seem to be finding their way and Roxie can spread out more. They are absolutely beautiful. I would like them all. The brindle (if I got the right colour) seems to suck really hard. Bless them all. I like the lobster too

October 28, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterRonnie

The littlest used the pad this morning.

October 28, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Wow, used the pad already? Your pups are all so very smart.

October 28, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

Still too young but did walk over and go. But nothing today. They are still practicing walking,. heh
