There are a lot of changes coming up over the next bit. By Tuesday night we hope to have all 11 pups upstairs together at night without their moms. This crew will be 5 weeks and 5 days old, Ella's will be 5 weeks and 3 days old and Saffron's will be 4 weeks and 5 days old.
During the day we will have all 3 litters together except for feeding. We will take down 1 pen allowing us to put a couch back in when our other son comes back from Skiing on Sunday.
If the pups do exceptionally well earlier, they will go up earlier. They need to be drinking water. They are eating food well. Water is always a later experience for most.
This was why we take out all 11 to play. This is called slow conditioning.
