Life With Mabel: Video Added

I have to laugh as they had a kitchen visit with Mabel and they loved her. Check out the gallery. I also have a video but that has 20 minutes left to upload to Youtube so visit here again to see it. Some is priceless and you can see how they did with Mabel. Here it is!

You have to realize they just turned 4 weeks and they are embracing this fun.

They are also walking on the tile pretty good.

I think tomorrow we try food. This way a week from Saturday it will be their turn to go upstairs and Miss Rox will come back to bed at night to snuggle with me.

First Kitchen Adventure

Roxie was truly enjoying having her pups out and about. To say she was delighte wsa an understatement.

Here is a video of their first adventure. This is the gallery of that event.

Here are a few additional videos seeing I didn't have any yesterday.

Roxie Playing With Pups

How did they do on their very first outside of the xpen, not in your arms experience? They did rather well and even explored. I imagine tomorrow they will be exploring even more. How did Roxie like it? She loved it? Who was the dog barking like an obnoxious fool to get into the pups? Jeannie. Hey they are mine too. I fed them some you know.

We had Jeannie feed them in case Panda's pups needed a helping hand and she doesn't so Jeannie is now back to eating twice a dau and a tad miffed at that and Roxie - silly gal is gloating that sh ehas lunch while Jeannie sits outside of the room.

I have a feeling I have a bunch of kids - well they are not. They are moms.

Four Weeks Old

Does it seem like it has been 4 weeks? Wow what a fast track this has been. Tomorrow they will start coming out of their pen after Jeannie's pups have their time out. By Monday we will be starting them on food and a week from Sunday Momma won't be with them at night but we can't move them upstairs till Jeannie's pups go to their homes. Still, they will have the no mom experience till they can have a different room experience.

They wag their tails. They get excited. They eve make the pad a good number of times.

Roxie remains in adoration!

One More Day Till 4 Weeks Old

Dear Roxie just adores the pups. Long after they fall asleep she snuggles and finds her own time with them even when not feeding. She is starting to play with them. It's wonderful to see her relationship.

Here are some videos:

Tenderness

Cleanup

It is important to cleanup always right away when getting the pups pad trained. They are actually doing amazing considering they aren't even 4 weeks yet. Pad training is a progression that they get conditioned to. They eat, you place them on the pad. They sleep you place them on the pad and suddenly they do it themselves. As you can see they are already in that trying to do it themselves. WOW!

Using the Pad

I am really enjoying this crew. They are now eating, sleeping for an extended period and then playing. I can't wait to get this crew out to play!

Almost 4 Weeks

They are 26 days old tonight - wow! Lots of changes are coming.

They will have to wait to go upstairs till after the 2 Jeannie pups depart. But soon they will be playing outside of the pen, in the kitchen and having all sorts of out of pen experiences.

Here are a few videos.

The Wee Hour Play

More Play

Rox Puppy Play

They are already a fun bunch and have been carried around the house, greeted the dogs in our arms and seen other people. This is all good exposure till they have their very own 6 week visit.

They are using the pad some of the time but doing a decent job at this stage. The rule of thumb is when they wake up, when they eat - they have to go.

They are now sleeping about 3.5 hours to 4 hours before asking to eat again. This will increase when food is introduced. When is that? About another week we will give it a try. It ought to be exciting with 6 trying to eat at the same time.

Such a Grand Crew

They look out, they are highly curious. They seem to walk rather well now. Soon they too will be coming out of the xpen. Wow how did that happen?

I just adore their kisses and snuggles.

Here are a few videos. We are short on blogs as we are also trying to do a turkey plus Panda's pups are rather new so you have to really monitor despite them doing so well. I never take chances. It's extra busy.

Agile Beings

I have to say they climb over her, eat with gusto and she just adores them. she lets them eat her hair, yank at her to eat, climb over her head and she just smiles.

Here are a few videos. Looks like the program is working now. He convinced Apple to push it through but he says that means next time no favors. It's still not 100% but it works somewhat. hahahaha

The crew really is a fun bunch. They are actively trying to play with each other. They are so curious often looking out the xpen at the world outside. Can't wait till they start coming out to play.
