The Play

Here is the gallery.

The pups so enjoy playing with each others - with you. It sometimes is hard to get video and photos as they love climbing on your lap. It makes it fun to try to capture them. I try and try and as a consequence, I laugh. How can it get better than that?

So Cute

We love to snuggle, stare at you as if you are the most fascinating human in the world. We are also learning bite inhibition. 

Here is the gallery.

We play. Some of us actually roll over now to get our tummies rubbed. It's so adorable!

Wrestle

They wrestle. They chase each other. They climb and pounce on each other. It's a riot.

Check out the videos. They are already up.

I will have to weigh them if they will stay still. It's hard to at this age. You have to wait till they are tired. Even then, it is pure luck when they stay still. :-)

Feeding All

I placed up Tempie on the chair so they would stop feeding and she jumped right down to be with them. Oh well - mother love!

Pups played in this room till Dennis brought them upstairs. He is about to bring them up again. 

But we cut the cord with cable and signed up for streaming so we are spending too much time setting that up on our devices. So... shorth blogs today. Videos are coming! Guess it is worth it with savings.

No More Milk

Check out the videos. I am uploading them now.

Momma's no longer have milk but they insist on feeding. Tempie is finally sleeping at night. She is adjusting. 

They love, love, love playing with their puppies. It is so delightful. They are growing and getting really good at running.

Progress

All 4 Tempie pups hit the pad while we were playing upstairs and I didn't need to watch them circle and place them on. They just went to it and used the pad. Bravo little ones.

Videos will be up shortly.

Look at the eyebrows surfacing. So cute and oh my gad do we have cuddlers.

Splish Splash

This gal, I call Splash is an honest to gad character. What a beauty too. All the Tempie's pups are coming into their own. 

Check out the gallery.

Two of the pups that look extremely alike as they get older are a boy and a gal. Sometimes even I can't tell them apart at times but they are mighty adorable and play tackle with fun and exhuberence. The last one, the one that appears to be black with apricot bleeding through on his legs is the largest and loves, loves his belly loved and sinks in when you snuggle with him. Oh my gad these pups are mighty wonderful. You will see a huge difference in their capabilities.

They are sleeping later and later at night. Around 8.5 weeks they will no longer have food at night. This will help them to sleep toll 7am. This is the goal!

To Enjoy

They really like this mat but the hole is too small to disperse treats unless they are small and the ball is completely full. I am trying to figure out how to increase the size but they enjoy all the felt and fun of it all.

Be sure to check out the videos. I am uploading them now.

The crew runs, jumps, climbs. It is amazing how they perfect their skills from day to day. They are an amazing crew!

Now What?

Here is the gallery.

The moms get up high when they are done feeding but now the pups climb up after them. There is no safe space. Plus Tempie doesn't know when to say enough. She will feed them as much as they want.

Pups are way cute. I hope I caught those moments in the gallery.

Tempie tried to get to the pups all night again. Poor thing and poor me. Nathan went into the guestroom to get sleep. I am running on empty. Off to watch Resident Alien and upload the videos.

So Many Changes

Here is the gallery of the pups upstairs to sleep.

This is a room across from our bedroom. It has a camera in it so I can do videos and watch the pups on the ipad but I can hear them as they are that close. If you look at the videos. you will see that I do not sleep much as I am taking videos at all hours and I must push a record button to do so. 

So, yesterday they had 1st kitchen, 1st people and masks. Then they slept upstairs. They did really well though one started howling for mom at I think 4 or 5am. It wasn't bad. It was a short howl and then back to sleep. They slept most of the night with some play. By the time they go home they are sleeping all night but remember we play with them before bedtime to expel energy. This way they sleep. These pups are good sleepers. 

Now dow did Tempie do? She was not handling it well till about 3am and then she crashed but everytime I looked at the pups with the sound on, she was digging at the ipad or licking my face to say - let's gi mom. She will know the drill tonight so she should sleep. 

They were so excited - both moms to see the pups. It was fun to see. 

Soon Dennis will be taking them upstairs to play for a long play session so they will sleep tonight.
