Not sure if I will have much gallery or videos today as I am out but hopefully these individual photos will suffice. They are all beauties.
Here is the gallery of their 1st upstairs, individual shots - 2 of each and first food.
Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 3:51PM Can I touch my toes? What a cutie - don't you think? The pups are completely adorable. Maybe tomorrow or the next day we will try feeding mousse. hmmm I will be out for the afternoon into the evening with my daughter so blogs will be short and late. Sorry. So maybe Monday makes the most sense. We shall see.
They do have to start coming out and socializing but I need mugshots for the guys. Maybe those are the photos I will take tomorrow morning.
Pups are fun with a capital letter. You will enjoy the journey of all 3.
Videos are getting uploaded shortly.
Friday, March 24, 2023 at 6:07PM Well, this crew is - let's get the party going crew. Watch the changes when there are 16 together. It will be interesting to see what changes unfold as they go. They are after all 3 days older and at this stage 3 days is a great deal. That will change in the 4 to 5 week mark. You will suddenly think they are all the same exact age soon. Besides there is not much difference.
All the pups are simply delicious. Wait till you see them running together. I promise you that will be a riot!

Here is yesterday's gallery from all 3 litters. Sorry -I didn't separate but soon they will all be together and you will have to figure out who is whom. See if you can now. This is a test. LOL
The pups are a wild bunch. As it is my birthday tomorrow, I had to do everyone that is departing tomorrow and today - well I had to do them today. So, I only got glimpses of them here and there but did manage to get a few videos of the wild bunch. They will be up shortly.
I say the wild bunch as they have waggy tails and are so excited to see you that they talk and make all sort of noises. It is a riot.

I may not have a gallery on any of the blogs for a few days. The service that hosts my galleries is having serious issues and may not be working in a viable way for a few days. So, I will try to take more videos and return to adding galleries when it is working. Apologies.
These pups are almost 3.5 weeks old. They are doing really well getting around. Actually all the pups are.
Dennis did me a huge favour and changed out all the blankets in each of the pens and sterilized before I got up. It is not as easy as removing a blanket and replacing it. We literally wash and benefect (sterilize) the flooring daily. It takes time. Usually about an hour or a bit more.
It is important to have a clean environment for many reasons but if the pups get used to 'clean', they are more apt to want to continue that as adults. Pups at this age are not trained to use a pad though we have 2 using a pad on their own in this crew now. We have started to place them on the pad each time mom feeds them and each time they wake up to get them used to the routine. As spring and summer comes, they will learn about outdoors as well. They can and do use both even as adults if trained. This way if there is a heavy snowstorm or rain, they can use the pad and otherwsie they can use outdoors. All show dogs are trained this way - well can't say all but many are and it shows that they can learn both and use each method with ease.
Part of this instinct is natural as you can see with 2 already using the pad on their own. But it is necessary to put them on the pads over and over so they know what is expected and they maintain cleanliness.
It is all a journey and it takes routines reinforced. It is a lot of work.
Pups are doing really well and getting fat and growing. Their weight gains will slow down as they start expelling more energy when playing.
