What is That?

Check out the 2 deck galleries in Willow and Nami's blog. One has the morning session and the other the afternoon session. 

Now the sky is black so rain is coming. As soon as I am done blogging - hopefully I have enough time, we will take all the stuff indoors before it gets saturated.

I wish it would stay warm but a rainy weekend. The pups and us made the most of outdoors today. They learned new ways to deal with stairs and ramps plus they so enjoyed the extra room. I love this stage.

Each day they learn and perfect their skills. It is wonderful. It's like a brand new mom and dad watching their babies get better by the day and celebrating their achievements.

Check out the videos.

Still Cool

Here is the gallery.

We tried to take the pups out but WE were too cold. Have to laugh. It got to a high of 50f and we thought that was cold. So, the pups played upstairs - so far 2 times. They will have another play session tonight.

They seem to be lasting longer in the play sessions but sleeping longer as well. 

Don't read any further if you don't want to hear something graphic. 

We have 16 pups. They have 16 outputs each meal. They have 3 or 4 meals a day - most times 4. Do the math of how much I clean up. They also don't all do it at once. Just a crazy tidbit about the pups.

Videos will be up soon. I didn't do many but hopefully exciting enough for you.

Connections

Gallery can be found on Nami's blog.

Just because they are attempting to wean them doesn't mean they want to drop the connection. They want to play with them instead of feeding. This is critical as they learn so much from the moms after they are not focused on feeding.

Check out the videos.

Perfecting Skills

The gallery can be found on Willow's blog.

What we started noticing is suddenly the pups are perfecting their skills be in keep away or tug or running and jumping.

As I am typing, I hear the pitter patter of running feet back and forth. That is wonderful. They also expel a lot of energy that way and sleep deeply much like they did after the human visits. 

Be sure to check out the videos.

Warm, Dry and Fun to Be Had

Here is the gallery from upstairs.

This was their 2nd play session. They will get another just before bed. We do it before bed so they asleep all night. Each time I check throughout the night, they are sleeping. They are doing really well.

They had a truly fun play session as you will see in the videos.

We are hoping no rain tomorrow but it seems it is supposed to be cold and wet all week. I hope that changes.

The pups manage to have fun no matter where they play and the humans stay dry too.

Videos coming soon.
