3 Weeks 2 Days Old

We are learning to find mom in this big environment. It forces us to traipse all over the xpen. That's okay. It will get us strong.

We already have started using the pad and I caught one in action. Here is the video. This particular gal is first in everything. I am impressed. You expect this dainty little spot and well.....

Pups have adjusted. They are still little. They may be carry around size but time will tell. They are highly social. They wag their tails when I climb in and Nathan who they hadn't seen for a bit they wag their tails for too. Oh people - fun, fun, fun. Sometimes you have to condition them to people etc but they seem to embrace new things.

Here is a small gallery.

Wow, she certainly made good use of the pad! Amazing that she is doing it so early.

Brilliant.

She is a smart and determined puppy girl!

Oh my, I so want another pup. But practically, it is not in the cards, yet anyway. Come on lottery (I guess I have to buy a ticket first, huh?) haha. I see now that I have Radar how the boys are so good and so loving. Not that Patches isn't but she certainly has a mind of her own. I like that since I am used to having terriers but Radar is so obedient and quiet in comparison. Patches likes to tell me exactly what she thinks. But, she is still the love of our lives, with Radar of course.

So Patches is opinionated like Jeannie. Jeannie demands a belly rub and will roll over for it but she started out as Nathan's dog and turned into mine through and through. She snuggles in on me when its cold and finds the bathroom tiles inviting when its hot. She is indeed pregnant and I do believe Adele is. It's early but they are showing signs.

PS: Roxie always tends to have mellow pups. She is very laid back.

Ahhh, thanks Darlah. It is a mother thing rather than a gender thing. I have to give Patches a belly rub before she gets up in the morning, hahaha! When she sees I am getting out of bed (she is usually lying right against me), she immediately rolls on her back. She will not move until I have rubbed her belly. I love it.......

Jeannie drops and rolls even for strangers for that belly rub!
