Upstairs and Down

Here is the gallery.

The upstairs photos from both litters are in this gallery. I can't divide them up. In the daytime play in the hall, I take Hallie's out 1st so you have a look at just that litter. It will get harder and harder to and I will end up doing 1 gallery and alternating whose blog it will be on. This is the reality of having 2 litters as we expose them to each other. It is more important to do that than to have individual play dates.  The social makes for round sociable dogs and I am sure by now you can tell who is who though Nathan still guesses at times. 

How did the pups do upstairs? They fussed a little after moms left. Hallie watched them on the ipad. She always does. I think it gives her comfort. Nami knew they were fine. 2 moms different parenting styles. Nothing wrong with either.

They slept for the most part. You will see the videos I took during the night. They were excited to see Nathan and the moms come morning. After tomorrow, Dennis will be bringing them downstairs as it will just be Dennis and I and we will be busy so bear with us.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

4 Weeks 3 Days

Here is the gallery.

Have had hardly any photos or videos today. Nathan has been running around to get ready for his trip. Dennis had a massive migraine so I was alone and lots of barking. LOL I did my best.

I also still have 4 dogs to groom so a late night for me. 

We are taking the pups upstairs without their moms so hopefully I will get video and photos from that.

I am doing a lot so this week may be like today. I will do the best I can. 

Pups will come down in the morning to a freshly cleaned and made pen. Upstairs will get cleaned for the next day. Dennis has yet to set it up. LOL

4 Weeks 2 Days

Here is the gallery.

You need to also look at Nami's gallery as well daily as some of the photos is all 8 together. Sorry - not sure how else to do it. I know confusing but not meant to be.

The Hallie pups are eating more and more food and drinking water so we will be placing them upstairs without moms tomorrow night - all 8 pups.

Pups are playing well. Bowels are good. Everything is looking great. They are climbing and playing more and more. They are pretty sure footed now.

I will be uploading the videos and there are a lot of them after the blogs are done.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

4 Weeks 1 Day Eating Food

Here is the gallery.

The pups are right on track - a day before the others with eating. Bravo you. You may not be eating like you are starved but eating you are.

The boy was being a troublemaker today but in a fun way. He was yanking this sister or that trying to get them to play. He was so trying to have fun. His sisters was like - really? It wasn't in a bad way. He was just full of it and really really enjoys playing. 

Both litters really really look forward to getting out to the hall. Dennis is going to take them out after dinner without videos or photos as he prefers it that way. He just wants to play with them and I get it. I am still sick with chills and all sorts of fun stuff so he is going to help me out with round 2 of getting out of the xpen.

4 Weeks Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups had another outing in the hall. Would not eat food but still young. Nathan joined us which was great for the pups and for me.

Pups are full out playing now and the boy is the instigator most times.It is fun to watch.

I will be uploading the videos shortly.

The blog is short as I am simply not up to more.
