The older crew for the most part plays nice. There is one gal that is sewing her oats. They are all a great bunch and have a real enthusiasm for life. They get so excited when there is play.They completely make you laugh!

Labour Day

What a magnificent time they had out today. This photo shows how enthused they are about playing. We had all 17 out together and they were good. No maulings. Just plain fun.  

Check out the videos. They are coming soon.

Gallery of the visit.

Thank you for the paw jewelry and the cookies. Almost gone - can you believe.

It was a good visit, I think. Pups were their usual - let's have fun crew. 

Till the 8 week visit!

Baths and All That

Here is the gallery.

Pups had a bath - all 5 together. How did they do? They were wonderful. No blow dryer as we allowed the dry to occur after a comb out outside. I will do individual photos of baths when we do the going home photos. 

Nathan had to drive to Colbourne. There has been a shortage of deworming and it came in. Nathan had to drive out to get it and all pups, all moms all had a deworming. Plus we also gave it to all our dogs as a preventative - as we do when we deworm the pups. 

As this crew is having a visit tomorrow, I hope they do not have any issues with this dewormer. Time will tell. I will tell you they shook their head as if to say YUCK. Adults do that too.

The pups have a great deal of fun on the stairs to the slide - the ramp. All of it is exciting to them.

Videos are up. More later.

6 Weeks Old Today

Gallery is found on the Ella Blog.

This crew, as I type is outside playing around having a grand time. I take them out in the morning to early afternoon and Dennis takes them out in the afternoon and night. Nathan drops in when he wants to have a puppy experience.

Can you believe they are 6 week old today? I can't. 6 weeks ago, we started this journey.

5 Weeks 6 Days Old

We had a visit for a family that will not be able to be here for the 6 and 8 week visit. We only took the Tempie pups out and the Spirit and 1 of the Willow and Ella pups. They are simply still too young and Tempie's would over power them. 

Gallery is found in the Spirit blog. I know - I should have put it here. So here is the same gallery here linked.

The Tempie pups did really well - well I think. I will be adding the videos in a bit.

They are back out playing for the 3rd time today. It is amazin g what a couple of weeks does to capability and activity level but the younger set want to go out too. LOL

5 Weeks 5 Days Old

Gallery of all the crew can be found on Willow's blog today.

It is so interesting seeing the development changes between this age and the other 3 crew. One wonders when all can be together. 

No one seems to be the - let's maul this one today. That is good. They all seem to be gentle souls but tempies indeed have size on their side if they decided to go that route. You do not want that as you truly want them to be receptive to interaction from others so we wait and see when the right time is.

So far we are doing laundry all day and Dennis is doing it through teh night. It's a tad insane but you have to have them appreciate clean environments. This is how they learn.

They had fun today but just inside. They will be going out yet again shortly. With rain - it is an inside day.

Combined Galleries Tempie Pups

Here is the gallery taken today of the litters combined. I need to do this to reduce my work. I hope you understand. Doing blogs till after 10pm is ridiculous.  As it is it is after 8 and I am doing blogs. 

Videos are up.

These pups are full of life bouncing around like silly fun beings and they are. They are after all older. The others will do that too and have already begun the journey.

Nails and Play

Gallery is here.

Dennis just yelled down to me that Tempie's pups were starting to try to climb up the slide. I missed it as I was blogging but he was pretty excited. I hate missing firsts. They are growing up.

Today they also had their nails done as they were catching on the netting outdoors.

They now have a number of teeth and are doing well on semi softened food.
