Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 2:50PM We are debating on if it is time for them to come out of the whelping box. Dennis thinks they are too crowded. I think it forces them to search for mom. So, we debate. Nathan says they are too young and then he goes oh they are already 3 weeks.
They are not very active today but Dennis says they were very active last night. I missed it. :-(
Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 6:59PM I can't believe I am starting the blogs at 7pm. Yikes. Well the pusp are getting active. It is like watching a mob dance. They will soon need more room. Maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Tomorrow is extra busy so I am not sure.
I did catch some on videos but I need to upload them after the blogs.
Can you believe tomorrow this crew is 3 weeks old? I can't!
Friday, March 17, 2023 at 6:02PM The pups will turn 3 weeks in a couple of days. They have voices. They are playing and they love to be held. Can't get better for me than that!
As this is March Break, I am certainly grooming a great deal. But I managed to get all 3 moms washed today. No matter what I did, they were getting knotted. That is a sign they needed a bath. So, I had them feed their respective pups then washed mom. I usually wait till 3 weeks as the pups go longer between feedings but despite brushing and with pups climbing through their hair, it was necessary.
Videos will be up after I finish blogs. There are some cute ones.
Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 5:56PM Hard to believe this crew is 2.5 weeks old. They do play with each other but with my schedule and March Break, it's hard to capture it. It is just the beginning play.
They can now hear as they react to dogs barking when people pick up and drop off. LOL
It is more a curiousity. If they start barking, I may - well you tell me. We do not usually have this much in and out so this will pass.
Videos will be up shortly. As usual, I am behind due to grooming. Momma's plus sage got done this morning. Mom's need baths but I usually wait till pups are 3 weeks.
Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 6:37PM I am tired - well exhausted - long day of grooming so blogs will be short. Apologies.
Pups all have their eyes open. They are done being weighed till older and I can use the large flat scale. Every single one manages to jump up and down and try to crawl out of the scale making it impossible to get a decent reading.
Pups are doing well. We have taken one out at a time to say hello to people so they get another look outside their box. This allows them to see new people and new surroundings.
