Tunnels and Toys

If you are looking for fun things that the pups enjoy, watch the videos or look at the photos. They do love the tunnels (search cat tunnels), house, beds, caves and soft things to lay on. They like anything that has a crinkle sound or feel. Teething toys for babies is great.

You can also watch them here to see what they enjoy. Can you believe they are over 7 weeks now? I can't.

Posers or Too Busy

Some pups stop and pose for you and others are too immersed in play. We have a mix. It's a riot.

Here is my schedule this week. Sunday 3 moms washed - no days off this week and a half. Monday 15 pups and photos - oh boy. Tuesday checkup and shots, microchips etc Then Thursday starts visits and Nathan has to solidify those. I have all sorts of things to do before they can go home. 

At the moment no one can walk in this yard as I have been weeding and have piles everywhere. I do it here and there as otherwise how will it get done. I need a wild garden - well it almost is.

Pups are out as I am typing with Dennis. I need to head out too!

Playing Indoors All Over

The pups ran all over the 1st floor and it dawned on me that all the adults get along with the pups just fine. It is nice to see. I so appreciate having a home that even the visitors love to engage.

Here is the gallery.

Pups are growing up. You are going to love the visit. We did purchase face visors and gloves if anyone wants to use. We will be doing this on 2 decks. We will be taking video and photos so you have memories.

The pups are all pretty outstanding. I mean that sincerely. Yes, we have some that are dominant as always occurs in a large group but it is dominant in a positive way. You will see. Be prepapred for snuggles, licks and all that fun!

Hot Morning

The heat came on quickly this morning. Tomorrow they say the same.

Here is the outdoor gallery.

Nathan was afraid it was too hot outside for them as he was too hot. It was really hot. Even the tile around the pool was too hot. We are heading out there in a minute and it is still hot. Let's see how they do.

Crashing

They play and then they crash. The beauty is they learn to sleep anywhere but they really appreciate comfort. Who doesn't?

They have become truly agile too. Time for grass and pool. Got to fit it in soon.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Chocolate Gal

As requested, this is the chocolate brindle gal. She is a well rounded gal who loves snuggles in the neck. She's a happy, happy one!

Here is the morning gallery.

Willow pups truly feel that any milkbar will do but all moms today have not fed them. They will get over it and that will allow moms to teach them many, many things!

Ramp Up Time

The pups go up, down and every which way on the ramp. They are getting scary confident that I worry they may try something but we have soft things all around them so they can't get hurt.

Here is the late afternoon gallery.

Willow was the first to say NO MORE FEEDING pups. You have teeth. She winced and went enough. Then the other moms followed suit. They may feed the odd time if they get full but they are done and it is funny that it was Willow that said it.

What is This?

They sit there as if to say why is the xpen up? We want ramp time. They love the extra space so.

Here is the afternoon gallery.

Today they came in just before the hail arrived. Lucky them. Or shall I say lucky Nathan and Dennis. LOL

Ramp Time

The pups now walk down the ramp without issue now. If you followed their first time and now today, they are doing really really well. So much so we could do 2 families on 2 different decks and keep social distance so everyone feels safe.

Here is the afternoon ramp gallery.

It's been a rough ride with COVID and figuring out visits. It is imperative to see you with the pups and the pus with you.

Hope you enjoy the ramp photos!

Relax

Adults, pups they all love this bed. I think it is extra comfie and they all gravitate towards it.

It is steamy hot this afternoon. We are not taking any new videos and photos as that is on me. I am busy but you can check out the Leti blog for a link to the gallery.

Pups enjoyed the weather this morning. This afternoon it is swimming weather. Surely wish I was in the pool. LOL Till next time.
