Almost 5 Weeks

See the gallery on Nami's blog.

Pups are really fun at this stage. They are continously perfecting their skills. It is fun to watch. It is a struggle for me as I am not well but I still manage to have smiles. I am amazed at how daily their abilities change. I can't wait till they try the run game with Nathan.

It is going to be fun!

Check out the videos.

4 Weeks 3 Days

You can find the gallery on Nami's blog today.

It is interesting to see the dynamics of this 3 crew. As they are so close in age, you do not see the development changes once they are together. The younger ones try the things the older ones do and they will eventually achieve what they do as if they are the same age. 

There was a stage when they were separate that you could see the difference in age. You can't any longer. They have achieved cohesiveness and treat each other as siblings. It's a LOT of work with 16. Lots of cleanup. Lots of laundry - feeding is something else especially by yourself. But large groups do make better pups as they have many to learn from and they learn how to deal with others that want to play or don't. They have many to learn how to relate to each other. For me, I find the work insane. At this stage I am going from 7am till 11pm - no tv unless I am grooming and that's a half watch or a 1 hour break that I pay for by having to stay up later to get everything done. But the end result is wonderful. 

I wash from morning till after I go to bed when Dennis continues. 

I can't wait till true spring. Pups going outside. Fun will come - okay it is already here but as we go it evolves. You will enjoy!

Videos coming soon.

4 Weeks 2 Days

Gallery can be found on Willows blog today.

Today we brought the puppy pads further away from their sleeping area. We will continue to do that till we do not need the extras. Pups are doing rather well and they seem to be able to walk on the flooring quite well. I can't wait to see them running. That is when Nathan shines as he does the running with the pups. It is quite funny at first. He calls it broken field running at 1st. It is also interesting tro see who runs the entire way. He cuts in etc. You learn a great deal about their personality. 

Everyone plays as if they are one litter. It is WONDERFUL!

Videos coming shortly.
