Posing

Here is the gallery of 4.

This Willow gal can often be seen as posing. I laugh. She has a brother that looks very similar to her as if they could almost be twins. They both have white chins but are slightly different colours. She truly has a gorgeous balanced face, imho.

She engages but she also watches and tries. I enjoy seeing what she is up to.

Videos are up. More later.

4 Weeks 2 Days

The gallery is found in Ella's blog.

This is the youngest crew. Willow still feeds all comers. She has no issue with it and has way too much milk if she misses a feeding. Maybe that is why she is so accomodating. I get that.

This crew is not eating too much mousse. Willow seems to if they leave it and do not eat. 

Even though they are the youngest, they look forward to going out to play too.

4 Weeks 1 Days

When shall we put the pups other than Tempie's together. We are trying to figure it out. It is rather unique due to the sizing of Ella's pups plus who will feed off whom. It is going to be interesting when we do.

Gallery today is on Spirit's blog.

I can no longer weigh any of the pups with the exception of the Ella pups when they are tired or just done feeding. Jumping in teh scale sort of doesn't give you an accurate weight. The Willow crew is exceptionally hard to weigh as they love the jump out of the scale. I so laugh about it.

4 Weeks Old Today

Here is the gallery of the 4 crew.

Willow dotes on the pups. It is quite nice to see and she doesn't mind cleaning or feeding anyone else's pups. She gets excited to see them come out. When she is done feeding, she lays on her tummy so they don't have access. Smart one!

Hoping it stops raining or we will have all play indoors.

3 Weeks 6 Days

To see the gallery of the pups combine, visit Tempie's blog. 

Willow is interesting. She has so much milk she can feed hers and then some. Every once in awhile, I place the smallest Ella puppy on her and she gains quite a bit off of her. I think I will do it a couple of times a day so that little one gains really well. She is doing ok without Willow but much better with the addition of Willow. 

Willow is a doting mom still very attached to me and over the moon to see me. It is obvious she misses my lap - they all do when I get a moment to sit down. Have not been able to do that as of late.

Today my leg was so bad that I couldn't get on the floor of the deck. It is what it is. The pups missed me doing so. I do weigh them and Willow's pups are gaining exceedingly well.

The pups are quite enjoyable. Wait till you see.

3 Weeks 5 Days 1st Upstairs

Gallery is here.

The 3 younger crew had an upstairs experience for the 1st time. This is the Willow and Spirit crew. The Ella pups were sleeping and I was grooming so it was a fast experience for me with photos and a single video. That will be coming shortly. They did well. 

The videos will be found here.

3 Weeks 4 Days

Here is the gallery.

This is a test. Which puppies in this photo belong to which mom? Do you know?

The 3 set was out together and Willow pups also had food. They loved it. They now have food in their xpen and so does Spirit. As a matter of fact all litters now have food and water in their xpen.

The litters do play with each other. Ella, Willow and Spirits all seem to be gentle in their play. This helps with Ella's crew being smaller.

We have to figure out when we will merge the 3 litters together. Going to be fun when that happens.

Videos are up. More in a bit.

3 Weeks 3 Days

Here is the gallery.

Now Willow sure had her fun with this litter but she is an amazing being. Today she was feeding any puppy that desired as you will see in the gallery and the photo above. The littlest Ella puppy was so delighted, it was squirming and ended up coming up with a complete milk face. It was funny. You are a good soul, Willow. You truly are!

The pups have had 2 sessions outside with Ella and Spirit's pups. They are enjoying each other's company. It is wonderful to see the changes day to day.

This crew is getting pretty fat. Maybe it is time to start them on food too. hmmmm We shall see.

Tell me - do you know who is who from each litter? Let me know if you do.

Pups are doing well. Sorry for shorting all the blogs but I am cooking soup to eat - yes now. Tells you how my day has gone.

3 Weeks 1 Day Old

Here is the gallery.

This crew is forever trying to fit all in. Willow has them on a schedule. LOL Okay 2 hours are up - now you can eat. Wait till they try food and see how that changes.

Ella turned her nose up on steak and Willow went my win and gobbled it all up. We gave some chicken to Ella and she liked that better.

The interaction between the mothers are funny. No one is feeding anyone else's pups yet. We shall see how that unfolds. 

Videos are up. I am done blogs - oh my. LOL
