The Mighty Ones

Here is the gallery.

They may be small but they can reach the cooling bowls just barely.

They had a play session upstairs and downstairs. I will be taking them upstairs just before bedtime again. It is Dennis day off so it is just me doing pups. 

Tomorrow is Nathan's day off. Next week we spread it out - please and thank you!

Pups are nipping ankles just like the pups that went home did at this stage. We are working on it. It is all about the reality that they are teething.

These are amazing pups...

Visit coming up this Saturday!

Fun and Silly

Here is a mini gallery.

As it was my day off, I didn't get a lot of photos but I did start my day playing with pups. It was fun. It was silly and I started my day laughing. You will too when you see the pups. 

They are pups that like to enjoy and I so appreciate that with them.

They run. They jump and they climb.

Momma Yoshi now feeds them consistently standing up. They need the room!

Stand and Feed

Here is the gallery.

For the last week there is always one that can't fit when Yoshi is laying down. Now she is standing so they can all fit. Soon she will wean them. We are helping her by starting to feed them kibble. They have teeth and now knows when they are hungry, they can eat that and they do. It is time. They took to it as if they were starving!

I have to say for Yoshi she is a marvelous mom. She knew to feed 6 pups for a dog her size and produce enough milk, she would have to eat and eat and eat and she has been. One day she ate 10 meals. Most days she ate 8. These were not usual meals of 1/4c but brimming and more like 3/4c. She did it to help her and her pups and never complained. She just instinctively knew what to do. She is a great mom.

These pups will be smaller than Hallie and Nami's pups. We still have 2 available but as I told Nathan, if the 2 remain - so be it. LOL 

The pups didn't get the time change but I imagine tonight, they will. Heck the older dogs didn't get the time change. Did you? 

Tomorrow is my day off so I will be updating and taking photos but that is it!

We Had a Visit

Here is the gallery.

We are now down to 2 available pups. 

It was their 1st time with visitors and they did really well. Some hit the pad and some did not but too young for that. They are pups in training!

Next week we have 3 families visiting that commited to the Yoshi pups. 

Thank you truly for the pasta!

Nails and Stryker

Here is the gallery.

Nails had to be done as they were getting caught in everything. It's a lot of work to do so many. But it was done and Stryker was up to playing with the pups.

They seem to have no issue exploring near and far. They will even explore by themselves not needing the siblings to keep them company.

Bravo little ones!

Lots of Changes

Here is the gallery.

The pups have had a lot of changes since last night. They went upstairs to stay overnight without mom last night. You can see it in the gallery and the videos.

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

How did they do? Much better than Yoshi who fretted all night and watched them on the ipad. I wasn't sure if her watching them or not was better but I didn't get much sleep. We are hopeful tonight is better.

They had accidents as the room was way too large and the pads way too far for them at this age. We will correct that tonight. But all and all they did wonderful. Yoshi not so much.

Then I took them upstairs to play in the hall and bedrooms. It was a first for them. They explored all over, played and was mighty comfie. Yoshi watched and played some with them. It was a huge success.

The pups are doing well. They are more than fine on multiple floor surfaces now with no slipping. 

They had fun and are now sleeping in their xpen for I imagine an extended session. 

Dennis got to sleep in his bed for the 1st time since Nami's pups were born. He has been sleeping or staying awake in the recliner. One forgets how hard it is to stay up all night, partially sleep during the day and do all the things that must be done. 

The pups are really wonderful beings!

5 Weeks 2 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are doing well. They may go upstairs in a day. We shall see. We are monitoring water drinking as that is important.

They didn't get to play with Stryker today but they may on their next session. I got to sit and play with them not just take videos and photos. I was delighted. They do have teeth.

What is in store next?

Water drinking

Upstairs play

Upstairs to sleep

Playing in Hall: 5 Weeks 1 Day Old

Here is the gallery.

The pups are progressing nicely. They may be able to go upstairs in a day or 2. 

They had a play session today in the hall and no slips and slides where yesterday as they were adjusting to the tile, they had some. Today they are mighty sure footed.

Stryker still is dumbing down his play to be gentle gentle. He surprises me and he so appreciates having them play with him. 

We tried Nami but think she is missing her pups. She didn't want to play with the Yoshi pups. Hallie is thrilled to have Stryker. I am sad about that but impossible to keep them all. 

We went through our long waiting list and it is long and no one but 3 wants a puppy at this time. They want spring pups. Really? So for the 1st time ever we have 3 pups available. Imagine that! If interested, send mail to nathan@potechin.com

Nathan introduced a puppy to Ollie's owner and to Ollie. Exposures are a good thing. 

Today we will have our grand daughter and her boyfriend come to get River and we will ask if she wants to play with the pups. We shall see how they do with them. With not updating so many blogs, I can do more for these pups. They were overdue to have the exposures but are up to the challenge mighty nicely!

I will be adding photos and videos as I can through the day!

New Digs: 5 Weeks Old Plus 1st Hall Gallery

Here is the gallery with new area etc.

The pups have turned 5 weeks. They moved pens. The pen is much larger and they had to deal with flooring, which they did rather well with.

We had a bit of fussing asking for mom to join them. She stayed out watching them adjust, which they did pretty fast. 

We will be taking them out in the hall later today. Their world is about to change - well it already has!

Gallery of Stryker with the Yoshi Pups 1st time in the hall and he was kissing them all. It was endearing!

4 Weeks 6 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow this crew will be 5 weeks. They will have a big change. Their pen in the afternoon will be taken down and they will move over to the large pen. Let's see how Stryker and the pups adapt as Stryker will be out of the xpen and in the general population.
