18 Days Tonight

The pups had their first experience in a crate and a bed. They are starting to play with each other and enjoy their environment. They can hear as I dropped something by accident and they all jumped in unison. Here is a video I just took but its a poor quality as I didn't upload it in HD and deleted it. argh. I thought about not linking to it it but although blurry it does show you that they are playing and interacting. They are also doing really well with the new environment. Here is a gallery as well. I promise no more mistakes like that and you will get to see the play here and there in the videos. Well, I hope no more.

Pups are also shown off to those coming to the door on purpose. I find holding them and exposing them to a different room even if momentary is a start to conditioning them to more changes. Plus we get to show them off. 

Here are today and last night's videos.

Getting Better at Walking

I can't have the video on 24/7. I simply don't have the hard drive space or time to watch and extract the good parts but when I placed the crate into the xpen. They actually climbed right in - well some did. They all seem to have fave spots to snooze in.

They are comfortable in their environment as they are not trying to hide and are sleeping on their backs at times.

Every day they seem to be doing so much more and that little Adele is one attentive Mom, even getting in the crate with them, such love.

Those are great videos! 18 days old already, incredible. They are doing really well and seem to like their new digs. I love that Adele goes into the crate to see them. Well done!

All these charming pups are growing up so quickly. Now that they can see they seem much more active.

They are always more active when they can see plus when you give them more space it adds to the fun. Roxie's pups will get there too.

The videos are great. I can't believe how they are now managing so nicely to walk and I think play a bit. Darlah you have to have commercial washer and dryer for all those blankets! OMG.

I am already not happy about laundry. Can you imagine when we take the others out of the whelping box? Wish I had a commercial washer and dryer. Wish I had someone to do the washing. Yikes!
