3 Weeks 5 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

These pups are edging up to 4 weeks old. Soon they will be going upstairs with cameras across the hall from us without Dennis or mom at night. This is the journey of independence from mom for the night. This won't happen till after they are 4 plus weeks old. 

Soon we will take them out on the deck and upstairs to play getting them used to different environments. 

I didn't get to take many videos overnight and today. I am simply exhausted and had a full day of grooming. Videos will be uploaded shortly.

3 Weeks 4 Days Plus Grandkids

Here is the gallery.

It is a busy house today and the son and daughter-in-law is shopping and we are taking care of the kids, pups and dogs. Tonight everyone arrives at 530ish. 

How did Hallie do with the grandkids with her pups and most of all how did the pups do with the grandkids? Hallie was magical - wanting to share and the pups really enjoyed the chaos, I suppose as there is no other way to describe it. Reminders as to not carry and walk with a pup was noted many times. Sit only. 

Can I use your computer? Can I use your camera, can I swim - can the pups swim with us. The grandkids are now with Dennis so I can do a blog before company arrives. How I will get the other blog done - who knows. This is day 1. 

Pups are eating really well without issue. They do drink water but not enough yet to do without feeding from mom during the night. They have had to do with getting woken up and now I have had to say - they need sleep. LOL

Check out the videos. I promise to get them up shortly.

3 Weeks 3 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are starting to get fun now. They are eating, drinking and playing. The time they stay awake and play will get longer. They had their 1st water today and I think I caught it on video

The grand daughters got to meet the pups and Hallie was fine with it. I will try to get photos sometime this week with them and the pups. They are here for 10 days so lots of opportunities.

Pups are getting to be plain fun. I just love spending time with them.

Three Weeks 2 Days First Food

Guess what we are doing? We ate twice today and we won't again till tomorrow as we have to see how their systems handle the solid food. You will see in a couple of videos that are getting uploaded after blogs that they enjoy the new adventure.

Here is the gallery.

What is wonderful is the boy is finding his way to the pad and using it almost consistently. The gal is using it as well but not as consistent as the boy. That will come. What is amazing is they just found their way to using it. 

I changed the blankets once or twice a day and they do not need it but I like fresh feeling blankets to place down.

The pups now play with me and I have been introducing toys to them. They are semi interested but like humans and siblings more for now.

The pups are growing up!!

Check out the videos soon.
