The Fun of the Nami Pups

Here is the gallery.

The pups had a treat and Nathan sat down with them and played and played. Nathan gets his stitches out this Friday so he will no longer have to worry about the pups around it.

I was told you can hardly see the Nami pups at night in the videos so I am going to stop doing them at night. You get the idea of how they are doing. 

They play the most in the hall and in the xpen. They easily get out of the xpen if the door is open. It is a riot.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Yikes

Here is the gallery. 

We have a puppy visit this Sunday. That means I need to get 5 pups washed and Nami plus my usual grooming so I think I will have a lack of sleep this week. We shall see how I manage.

Come during the visit, I will be taking videos and photos. I will have to leave to feed Alanza at 125. Just a reality of my juggling. 

The pups now have 4 play sessions. They embrace it well. They are really a great bunch!

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Fussy 4th Try

Here is the gallery.

Well they say 4th time is the charm? They fussed till 1145pm with a bedtime of 10pm. It wasn't bad fussing but as we were cleaning, you could hear so I checked on them on the camera and just fussing. You can't go in when nothing is wrong or you will create a habit that is undesirable. 

They did settle in and they are doing pretty good about the pads.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Guess What

Here is the gallery.

We caught a Nami puppy eating mom's solid hard Fromm's food without issue. Maybe they do not need softened food as the next choice. We shall see.

Pups had the 3rd night upstairs without incident.

Be sure to check out the videos and do not forget about the shorts.

Surviving the Changes

Here is the gallery.

I miss being able to take photos during the night of this crew but the changes of making the leap to sleeping without mom is a positive one. They get excited to see her in the morning nd she gest excited to see them. It works.

We take them out several times a day but we only do photos and videos from one of the sessions. It works and you still get a flavour of what they are up to. Sometimes we simply need to play with them without manuevering an iphone or a camera. It has to be the pups and I or the pups and Dennis some of the time. When Nathan is with the pups, I am always behind the camera while he has his magical moments. 

Check out the videos. Be sure to check out the shorts.

1st Upstairs Plus Play Sessions

Here is the gallery.

The pups are now up to 3 play sessions outside of the xpen. They adore the coming out part.

They are also upstairs for the 1st time alone without mom. I have been watching them and taking videos so you can see what I see. They - so far - are doing well.

They seem to take everything in stride including the vacuum. LOL

Be sure to check out the videos and do not forget about the shorts. I will add to each throughout the day, as usual.

New Changes Coming

Here is the gallery.

Tonight the pups will be going upstairs and not having mom at night. This is a transition that we have them go through so when they go home to you, they learn to sleep all night. That is the goal. They will have food and water for now at night. Closer to when they go home, food will be removed at night so they start eating 3 times a day vs all day and night. 

We have cameras to watch them. We will capture the moments and let you know how they do.

Be sure to check out the videos and be sure to check out the shorts.

Getting Less Sleep

Here is the gallery.

We have a couple of escape artists - the boy and one of the gals. I can no longer leave the xpen open for easy access for mom to go in and out. So, she tells me she wants in or they tell me they want mom. It makes for a busy night. At the moment, at 3am, they are sleeping and I need to feed at pup at 330 so it is useless to shut my eyes as it takes longer for me to go to sleep only to wake up moments later. So, we will try again after the next feeding depending on how active the Nami pups are. 

They love, love, love to be out. They are going out for pen cleanup twice a day and for 2 play sessions. They never had any hestitancy and they love you interacting with them. I get to play with them when I am not taking videos or taking photos but you get to see Nathan playing. You can see how excited they are to see him.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts. 

Characters

Here is the gallery.

We have some real characters. The boy went up to the gate to say hello to the adults - no concerns. He also climbed out of the pen. The cream and brown throws toys. It's a riot. One of the girls laid on top of mom to go to sleep. She was settled in till Nami moved. One of the gals finds this rubber toy quite fun and effective as a teether. I could go on but here I am typing tired as ever but have to feel a Sage pup in a half hour. 

The pups have teeth, They are also coming out of the xpen twice a day now. 

Check out the videos and do not forget about the shorts.

Getting Messy

Here is the gallery.

No matter how much I comb Nami out, she manages to get messy as she has so much fun with her pups. They are getting better and better with the pads.

They certainly enjoy each other.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget the shorts.

So Fun

Here is the gallery.

They sleep deep. They use the pad more times than not. They get so excited to play with you. They are indeed in the fun stage.

Check out the videos and do not forget the shorts.

As usual, I will add to the gallery and videos as I can.

4 Weeks 5 Days

Here is the gallery.

Pups are doing well. In a few days, they may be going upstairs at night but that also means that they need to drink water more. We shall see how that all unfolds. We have never had litters over 2 weeks apart so it creates new challenges that we will figure out.

Pups are playful and having a great time. They love to interact with you.

Be sure to check out the videos here and be sure to check out the shorts.

Changes

Here is the gallery.

Dennis added this bed and quite a few gravitated to it. Usually they are in one corner in a pile. This changed things up. 

So far they have had a session out of the xpen without a blip. They took to it wonderfully. They are also eating food and we are trying to get them to drink water. Water always takes a longer time. I nguess they do not think yum water. At this point they are still getting more than enough fluid from mom but they will make the transition.

They are playful. They sleep deep and start in again.

Be sure to check out the videos and make sure you check out the shorts.

I will add content to the gallery and videos as I can after I get up.

4 Weeks 3 Days: First Outside Pen

Here is the gallery.

The pups have food in their xpen unless Nami steals it. Yes, she thinks it is hers and Nami does get a ton of food. 

I am continuing to place the pups on the pad to create repetition. It does work.

Today I think Dennis and Nathan will take the pups out for a play session. I most likely will be sleeping and will have to watch the video. <sigh> This night shift cramps the things I like to do as they create special memories. 

December 2nd is our anniversary and other than doing takeout - oh well... But the pups are worth it. Just hate missing.

We also had our 1st session with the pups outside of their xpen in the hall. You can see in the gallery and videos, I am about to upload. We even had the smallest find her love of the tunnel.

Check out the videos and be sure to check out the shorts. I will add a play session video if Nathan does one.

4 Weeks 2 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

As it is usually Dennis that does the night shift, I do not get to see the activity at night except through an app each time I wake up. Now I am able to see it upclose and personal. It is rather nice.

The pups are eating solid food once a day. Their stools are not hard but not soft. Their bodies are adjusting to the solid food.

They play wonderful together. It is nice to see. Sometimes they make it to the pad. Other times, they try or not. They are rather young. They are in the learning stage.

Be sure to check out the videos and do not forget the shorts. I will add to the videos and gallery as the day goes on.
