Watching

We have had a crazy day today so short blogging across the board.

Yes, the pups always have fun.

T hey are really a great team.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Baths How Did We Do?

Here are the dry individuals shots of the Sage pups.

Yes, all 10 had a bath but no wet and dry shots. I did manage to get some dry shots of the Sage pups. You can find them here.

I did the short route as I simply have too much on my plate. 

I did the Sage pups first and they tried to climb out. I had Dennis and I blocking them. I then put them in a crate with blow dryers over them and then did the Nami ones. Nami pups will have one last bath the night before each departs and we will do wet and dry photos. Best I can do. 

Here is the play and bath photos. I hardly got the bath as they were trying to climb out. I am also grooming adults departing so I am doing the best I can. 

Despite the baths they did have fun and they do look adorable fluffy.

Dennis is upstairs while I am blogging and didn't even manage to get photos of t

Play and Play

Here is the gallery of all 10 pups together.

They really do run like they have always ran this fast. It is such a process from standing to running. It happens slowly but fast too. They really enjoy each other.

Even though 5 is one litter and 5 is the other, due to their experiences they will always consider themselves one unit. It's funny how that happens. 

Sage's pups will be here for 2 extra weeks. That means sometime in the week of the 21st they will be departing too. Sage's pups still have their 8 week visit and then they will be assigned too. Everyone has their vet visit on the 9th. 

It's going to be a crazy, busy house this month. Lots to get ready and do. That lays all on me. Oh boy... I have 5 days till the first Nami pup departs. I have no clue if the Sage has dates to depart yet. Ought to have Nathan look into that.

They Are Enjoying Themselves

The gallery can be found in the Nami blog.

Usually Dennis puts the bags away but I have videos and photos of them jumping in and out. They not only was doing it with ease but they were having a roaring grand time with the game. In, out and back in again.

Puppies are all together in one pen. We will have to reduce the pen when Cinnamon has pups. Dennis has this strange idea that we will do it on the fly when she goes into labour. 

Pups had a great time upstairs. I had them out twice. Dennis will take them out tonight hopefully as I have loot bags to arrange at least in an orderly sense so I can do them quickly. At least the Sage pups can wait.

Nathan did pick up the order of all the loot bag items. We put in an order 2 weeks ahead of time. Bring cash and pick up. LOL 

I am heading into very busy times. But the pups will have fun. We need the room but oh my gad these pups I will miss. I have to say out of the 2 sets of pups both are outstanding and I don't say that lightly.

To Observe

Here is a huge gallery from the morning and afternoon play session of both litters.

Sometimes it is a wise thing to sit and watch. This one is an observer. 

Pups had an amazing time today playing. I was up with them twice. I can't wait till they stop teething. Ouch. Nami pups seem to be done.

They run. They play. They are full of beans.

Tuckered Out

The gallery can be found in Nami's blog

This little boy tuckered out the fastest from this morning play. This afternoon he was not sleeping when it was time to come downstairs. They played and played while I fiddled with my camera. LOL

That's okay. Every now and then no camera or video is okay - well not really but less is okay. 

They do really well playing together. Each day their capabilities increase. They run around like they always have been running. It is delightful to watch!

Happy New Year is Upon Us

Here is the gallery of both litters.

Soon we will see the vet and they will depart after that - think 2 weeks. Have to look at the calendar. People have started to book their date. I am going to miss these beings. They have been absolutely wonderful. 

They are back upstairs for the 2nd time. They get 4 big play sessions a day. We clean their xpens and frshen up their stuff as the goal is if they get to appreciate clean stuff, they will be that way forever more. 

Mom has started to play with hthem after feedings and they are not being so persistent about sneaking a drink. Most of the momma learning goes on after weaning.

Puppy Visit Time

The gallery can be found on Nami's blog.

The pups played hard. They slept deep and now they are raring to go again. 

They really had fun and lasted longer than I thought they would. 

It was great to see them with people. Friendly, happy and no pups that were not social. This is an excellent bunch of pups. I am so impressed. Some will ne average size. Some will be smaller but all have fun in their middle name. 

The videos will be up shortly. We are doing a ton of things. But I will get it done shortly.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

New Toy Game

The gallery can be found on the Nami blog. 

I took this toy out and may fill it tomorrow during the visit so you see how it works. We shall see. It was a fun toy that someone made for us. They swat the bottles and treats fall out. They usually learn from the moms as they know how the game works. 

I am so far behind today as I had an unexpected grooming with someone who came back a day earlier. So, here I am blogging at 7pm and we have much to do as have a visit tomorrow. 

The crew really other than size you can't see a difference with skill set. It is truly nice!

Got to Play

Here is the gallery of both litters upstairs today.

I have to say yet again that these 2 crew play exceedingly well together. The personalities are wonderful. Sometimes they get at the 6 to 8 week stage and they want to test their capability and gain their status so to speak. They just play really well. I am ever so thankful. I do see a more physical play but that's it. 

Moms are spending too much time saying no milk at the milkbar but that always happens when they wean. Nami is almost done. She obviously has no milk but I get that its simply comfort, at this stage. Soon she will be able to get into teaching by play mode. Sage is weaning early or trying to. 

I so laugh as when they are focused on feeding, they simply don't listen to mom. It's like the toddler stage but as soon as that ceases and they 'get' it, they will benefit from Mom's wisdom and skill.
