2 Days Before 3 Weeks

I can't say it enough but Hallie is a dream mom.  It is easy with 2 but she took to it like it was always meant to be. She so loves snuggling with them.

Here is the gallery.

They are making noises. They are playing with each other and the gal is the one that always seems to call to mom to remind her it is time to eat. There is always one. 

Videos will be up shortly!

19 Days Old

Hallie pups are starting to play with each other. It's wonderful to watch. Of course they sleep a fair bit at this age as they are growing but I now need to add toys.

Here is the gallery.

Soon they will be running and playing. You just watch. They have begun the fun stage of play and change. No matter how much I see it, I so get delighted at their strides and changes. It is wonderful to be a part of it.

Check out the videos. They are up earlier than yesterday. LOL

What changes will we soon see? They will come out of the whelping box so they can see a world outside of the whelping box. We will continue to expose them to new things so they can feel secure in their world. Sometime within the week they will be outside on the deck.

Fun times are coming!

Day 18 1st Nail Cutting

This is the boy. He was great getting his nails done.

Here is the gal and I think Momma Hallie was more - what the hey are you doing vs the pup who was - okay we are doing this. I tried to take a video but it didn't record. So frustrated with this program. Want to buy an android so I can use a prg on that. Now that is ridiculous.

Here are the other videos. I am sparse on videos today so will take a couple of more.

Here is the gallery which does show the nail clipping.

Pups are doing really well. They do try to get up on their legs and they do interact with each other. They can hear as if a loud noise occurs, they jump. I try not to do that but life... and I do want to condition them.

Day 17

Here is the gallery.

The photo above is the gal getting outside and getting so much attention.

Here is the boy outside. As we had Robbie the collie visiting, we did not take out Hallie. I am sure she wouldn't do anything but guard as she doesn't know Robbie but Hallie is a gentle being. 

Galleries are coming.

Pups are starting to try to get up on their legs. Fun times are coming!

Here is the gallery.

We are short blogging tonight. It has been a long day. Above you can see Nathan outside with one of the pups. Hallie was with him. I will try to get the gal out tomorrow. It just wasn't possible.

Pups are doing well.

Videos are coming. Yep - haven't got to those either.

Pups are moving a bit more. More tomorrow....
