Wow.... It's been a busy couple days here @ GMBD's! I finally finished the enclosure that leads to the large dog run and have decided a good name for it is "The Den". It turned out well and the dogs are going to love it!!! Thought I'd toss in a couple pictures of the Azaleas for a splash of color.... wish they lasted longer but they remind me each year that Spring is just around the corner ;-)
Now to get on with what you're all waiting for. The pups! I spent an hour or so this morning just watching them while I enjoyed my coffee. I discovered Black has learned how to lick and spent some time grooming Brown who seemed to love it! Not sure if I mentioned it earlier but all the pups eyes are open; some better than others. They continue to sleep a lot, grumble, whimper and groan. And they stretch... puppy isometrics I guess. Their effort seems to be paying off. They're getting stronger by the day and they're walking. Well sort of anyway. Basically, they walk a couple steps and then fall over. They're getting quick though. This morning when Lexi stepped in the pool to feed, they seemed very excited and in the process of trying to be the first to get to her they were essentially flipping all over the place. They reminded me of a bunch of fish out of water. Funny! The thought occurred to me this morning that there's something about Red. Something a little unique. I decided she was the most agile. This evening I discovered, not only is she agile, she's smart as hell for a 2 week old pup!!!! Tonight when Lex got in the pool to feed, all the pups seemed a bit slower to respond. Lexi layed down and of course it didn't take long for them to sense her presence and start to arouse. Red blew me away though! Agile as she is, she climbed up Lexi's neck onto her back. From there, she essentially "ran" the length of her back using the side of the pool for balance and went straight for the jugs toward the back! Seems she has discovered and remembered that that's were the bulk of the milk is and it's less work to get your fill! I was impressed to say the least!!!! So at just two weeks old we're starting to see a glimpse of personality. Tomorrow will be a big day for the pups. It's time for weights again and they will receive their first of a series of wormers. Today they had their first manicure! Took the tips off of their sharp little nails as they were starting to mark up my girl! They tolerated it very well and each got a snuggle afterwards! Sweet dreams...... I need some zzz's
