Almost 5 Weeks Old

Everyone has asked me about the personalities of Jeannie's pups. They do change and you can't assess fully till 8 weeks but I find their personalities are like Ravens. Make no mistake, I love the Raven. All you have to do is watch her with the pups. She is a gentle being. She doesn't accept any grief from Stormy but her methods are always using your brain vs physical. I really appreciate that. She will make an amazing mom. 

The Jeannie pups are younger and they do tire out faster. I may start putting the Adele pups upstairs. I was waiting to merge the 2 but at this point I think it will have to be when these pups are older - perhaps when they are 6 weeks old. At times a couple of the Adele pups maul these two and that's not fair as they do not have size to combat it nor the same level of abilities yet. They will - just not at the 5 and 6 week stage. I was hopeful but  I believe it will be at the 6 and 7 week stage. 

Here is a gallery of just them upstairs.

Their vet visit date is on December 29th and they will be going home starting on January 12th. The Leti pups will be a bit over 5 weeks old. When these pups go home, the next week after that we will be having the leti Pup 6 week visit. Oh my. 

Tomorrow the pups will have their first bath a week earlier than usual. Due to teh holidays they get a 5 week visit vs a 6 week visit. The holidays change everything.

We may be taking out the Jeannie pups first and then bringing in the Adele pups for the visit. It's going to be a fun one and you will see the difference mostly as these are 5 weeks and Adele's are 6 weeks. That's a huge jump in development in this particular age group. 

Be sure to check out the videos.
