3 Weeks 1 Day Old

Here is the gallery.

The pups are starting to full out play with each other. 

If I can catch both litters awake at the same time, I may put them together for a few minutes. 

Pups spent a lot of time looking at each other through the bars and trying to kiss each other. It was fun to watch.

I can't wait till the 2 litters can play with each other.

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

3 Weeks Old: Nails and Outdoors

Here is the gallery.

The pups had their nails done today. They were really good at it considering they are only 3 weeks. Pictured above is the choco gal. 

This crew really enjoys their crate. The Nami crew has yet to use theirs. It is interesting who likes what but when they are all together, the Nami crew will join the Hallie crew in the crate to have that experience too. 

They are now starting to play with toys and each other.

1 Day Short of 3 Weeks: Updated

Dennis gave me a bit of helps. I managed to get the 2 gals outside. Yesterday the boy was outside. Nathan's back is hurting too much so we will do the Nami pups tomorrow. The gallery has been updated.
Here is the gallery.

I am going to attempt to do blogs early as I am not sure when the hard drive will arrive and how long I will be down. I am hoping it arrives this morning. 

Pups are shiny silky to the touch. The boy is fat. He needs to walk more. Have no issue with fat. Lord knows I have been there but it stifles mobility when too rolly polly and he LOVES to eat so maybe in a week, he will start to slim down as he becomes more active. I noticed in watching, he feeds twice as much as the gals. It makes me laugh but when they walk, they lose and when they run, they lose even more so he will be fine. You only worry if they get so fat they can't walk. I have never had that happen but I do know it has happened to others. You can't control feeding from mom. They need the nutrition. In about a week, they will start eating food so mom will feed less. Hallie is a comfort mom where she wants them all getting their needs met always. She so loves her babies in a huge way. She beams when I play with them. 

I had Yoshi in here to get them used to it. Both moms were fine. My mothers really trust each other even when they invade the others space and become nosey and want to take over. Nami does this the most to Hallie. Hallie never growls. She just gives her the side eye and Nami says - okay, I get it. Hallies pups are not at the stage that moms say - go out and play but that will come.

We are Semi Up

Here is the gallery.

If you read my earlier blog, you can see I have hard drive issues and it continues but I have to install a new hard drive when it comes tomorrow and try to save data. It has been a mighty hard day. I thought galleries were out but finally a partial restore was able to come up after 10 hours. We got hit with a really long and large surge that took our UPS out and killed 2 hard drives. I have a C drive and 1 other drive partially working. One is semi working and one is toast. 

During this time, we did take Hallie's boy outside. It was a new adventure. Tomorrow, depending on the computer, we will try to take 2 other pups out. Hopefully you will be able to see in the gallery and in the videos. 

I am rather spent so forgive me for short blogs. It may be short tomorrow too as my computer work has to be done tomorrow but for now, I do blogs and give up for the day. 

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

No Photo Day

See main blog for the reason. 

Pup has used the pad which is mighty early. We did take the boy outside. See the link in yesterday's videos to see him outside. Photos will come later.

I am doing the best today. Tomorrow may be the same as the hard drive doesn't arrive till tomorrow and I cant shut it down while it is attempting a repair. Says over 3 hours still since 7am. 

I am limited as I am on the ipad.
