They wrestle and play amazingly now.
They are so much fun. This stand works wonderful but doesn't do at ground level. I am now using my phone with a remote control vs. the ipad.
Nails were required as no one is getting stuck any longer.
I can't believe baths on Friday - Moms on Thursday. Hoping I left myself time to do so.

The pups each had their nails done and I did an individual video of each of the 11 pups having them done. You can check them out here. It was comical but Nathan was great in getting it accomplished.
You will also see a few videos in the hall last night just before bedtime and a great chase video.
There are lots of photos in the gallery found on Sage's blog.
The littlest gal has now arrived at 2lb and so has the smallest Sage boy.
The pups and their play plus full our running now is amazing. They are such great pups. They truly are!

In and out of the tunnel they go. They have so much fun.
They certainly love you snuggling with them. Feet - oh my those are fun. You have to enjoy the enthusiasm.
So far they are mostly sleeping at night. We get the odd play or the bathroom break but all and all the sleep and do not make a fuss when they hear us going downstairs with the older guys. they patiently wait for Nathan to arrive while I ge water out for everyone. Mirnings are BUSY. :-)

Pups were having a great deal of fun today. They do silly things like lay in their bowl and eat. They love the slide. They love climbing on bed. They are simply delightful.

Here is the gallery. It is not as large as the usual ones but we had a day so far and I am seeking downtime.
All the pups are outgoing - all 11. No one is shy or hesitant. One did get caught behind the bathroom door and let out a loud noise. I wonder where such a little one could have a voice but it was a call - I can't get out. Poor thing. He just wandered into the bathroom and one of the moms closed the door by accident.
The teeth are really coming in now and I need to find some split antlers but we looked and realized those tripled in price. So, we will use toys for teething. Usually they have tearing something fierce at this age from teething but do not. They have either solid or slight wet around eyes.
#7 boy is the mist personable as he loves people. If he has his choice, he will always pick people to play with - at least at this stage but he has been this way since he opened his eyes. They love to be rubbed on their heads and bellies. They just melt and therefore I do when they react that way. Wonderful group of pups.
Oh and they can ALL jump out of the xpen if a door is open and will given a chance.

I am uploading the videos now. Check them out here.
The pups run through the tunnels now, climb on beds and have a great time. Their play is being perfected. As they get stronger and learn, they perfect their skills. It is wonderful to see.
Pups had a great amount of fun today. Soon they will be heading upstairs for the night and Dennis and I will be doing cleanup. It usually takes us till 11. Nathan heads up at 930pm.
I so need a wee bit of downtime. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

We have a climber and get this, if you open the gate ALL 11 pups can jump out now and that's some feat. They are a riot!
How did 5 weeks happen so fast?
Before their 6 week visit, I will wash 11 pups. If I am really fast it is 15 to 20 minutes a dog between washing and drying, doing nails and pads. It's approximately 3 hours on non stop and add in 5 minutes for hanging them up fot photo-ops.
Most now have teeth coming in including Sage's.
They are now upstairs for no photo or video - just plain fun with humans experience. They so get excited when they see the sherpa bags as they already know it means they are going to play.
Monday, November 29, 2021 at 7:52PM Darlah The pups are starting to run. We have to get the upstairs set up si we can put the tunnel and slide and ramp out. It is wonderful that we do not have any bullies. With the gal pulling the tail, I wasn't sure but she was just playing. She is not showing any signs of trampling the little ones.
The group of 11 seem to have the best relationship.
Well, off to upload videos.

Usually we do not have anyone over till week 6 but today we had family over. It is the youngest we have had them exposed. How did they do? It was a new room. New people and they acted as if nothing was different. Oh new people - new room - let's have fun.
They actually had 2 play sessions in the kitchen. These pups will be pros (haha) by the time we have the 6 week visit. It only seems like yesterday that they got their legs moving well and now some are starting to try to run.

I hope Nathan has sent mail out on a 6 week puppy visit. It is soon.
Be sure to check out the videos.
There is a fun one where Pepper is watching the puppies. A puppy watching the puppies. I imagine she is saying to herself, I used to have fun doing that!
The pups had 3 play seassions today. The 3rd one I just played - no videos or clicking of the camera. It was just me today. Pups are improving their skills daily. Today we took up most of the blankets as they are getting sure footed on the tile. Maybe tomorrow we will do upstairs on the wiid floor.
We shall see what tonight and tomorrow brings.
Be sure to check out the gallery in Sage's blog.

Well tonight is the last night for the pups to be downstairs with moms at night. Tomorrow they will reach a new milestone.
The pups are getting teeth - oh my!

The pups had their nails done today and had another great play session in the hall. #7 when he wants mom barks this tiny little bark - hey mom time to feed. It is a riot.
The 11 all get along great. No pushy stuff. It's wonderful.
I am still uploading videos but you can check them out here.

The pups are growing up - all 11 of them.
They had their 1st outing as you will see in the gallery and in the videos. They enjoyed. Tails wagged. One was not sure why they were alone in the bathroom and made sounds - hey where am I - normal. They are now climbing in and out of the bed.
They had 2 outings today and hope to have the same tomorrow. They will let us know when it is time for 3.

You can find the videos here. I am trying to upload them as I groom. Multi-tasking me.
I want to call this gal, Attitude. She is so funny. They are all fun but yep attitude suits her.
The pups are starting to go 3.5 hours between feeding. Within a week they will head upstairs at night without moms. They will have water and food. We monitor them with cameras and the moms watch the ipad with me - no lie. It's a riot. Then Dennis will go to bed at night. That will be a change for all.
Play sessions other than this room are coming. Oh boy...
You can see the gallery on Sage's blog.

I love the eyebrows on this boy. It's a riot. We are starting to see personalities peek out.
Here is the gallery. The crew of 11 is in it.
This crew is 1 day short of 4 weeks. It is hard to believe.
They are ready to come out and play but we are waiting for 3 more days so the younger crew can join them. It will be fun to see how they react to the upstairs.
