Day 27 Tonight
Wonder how they will react to their neighbors and what they will do when they do notice them. For now they haven't noticed them at all. I do have a crate covering a bit of the fence line, so to speak but we shall see how it goes.
As you can see the puppies are playing quite a bit and are now doing rather well walking and climbing.
Tomorrow night they will reach the 4 week mark but we are going to see if they can make it to the 5 week mark to add food and we can then do it with both. If they tax mom or show us they need food, we will add it sooner. I may only make it to the end of the weekend. I do want them walking on linoleum by then as you want them able to stand and eat though we can put a waterproof pad under the pad. The messy fun begins then. Feeding will make it easier on mom. They will actually continue to eat most likely into their 7th to 8th week but by then its only a meal in the morning after a night without mom. Each litter is different and in this case we must sync the litters so they can both go upstairs together. Then I am cleaning the pen downstairs and the one upstairs. My laundry increases greatly.
I can't wait till their out of the pen play occurs. Going to be fun!

They are such delicious fun at this stage and Roxie's pups have just begun this fun stage journey. Soon they will be as if they are on the same timeline - well that's the goal.

What an adorable little face tucked underneath the white blanket. So precious.
She gets herself in those positions. I think the lady likes comfort. hahahaha
I love how they think their potty pad is a wrestling mat. On the red one, is that what is called a mask on his face? What a beauty! But, aren't they all?
Darlah, I love seeing you in the videos: you are so gentle, caring and loving with them.
Love all the videos, such adorable pups, like really every litter is so cute and you are the best breeders ever and give them so much to make them the best companions/family members for their forever families!
So cute and pudgy. They're getting so big now. Very sweet how, when you sat down, the one came right up to you no patted your leg with its paw to say, hey, look at me, I'm right over here!
I loved the videos Especially the one Filming and Playing. The two wrestling on the pee pad and crawling over the beautiful little sleeping sable. Nothing would wake her(?) Darlah I agree with Shelley you are so gentle and caring and we are so lucky to be part of the Talemaker family.
