Not sure why it is but "stuff" always seems to rear it's head. As soon as I think I'm going to get a breather, something else pops up. I guess it's called dealing with life on life's terms. I've pretty much come to the conclusion it's pointless to make plans or to formulate any semblance of a schedule outside of anything that absolutely needs doing. With that said, here are your pups. Precious babes that can't under any circumstances be placed on a back burner.
As you can see, they're active and seriously busy doing things pups do. Majestic is starting to spend much more time away from them and seems to be doing a pretty fair job of setting some limits. I'm a little surprised they haven't found their way out of the whelping box by now but in watching their interaction with mom it seems she is curtailing their attempts. With that said, I was outside today and through the open window I could hear a pup, just one, barking and or crying in what sounded like utter dissatisfaction. Naturally I went in to check on things and found Purple scampering around all by her lonesome on the bedroom floor. Majestic was on the bed with a look on her face that said, "If I told her once, I told her a thousand times"!
The pups were started on their pate' yesterday morning and will be fed two or three times a day. Three when I'm home and two on the days I work. They seemed to know instinctively what it was when I placed their food in front of them for the first time. They dug right in.
Today marked the first of their outdoor adventures. It was short but sweet. I set them first to eat in the kiddie pool and then they enjoyed a snooze before heading back in.Tomorrow I'll make an attempt to get every ones photos done and posted to their pages. They're also due for round two of their wormer and maybe another nail trim if I can fit that in.
As far as personality goes, they're becoming quite responsive to voice and for the most part come up to the side of the box to see what's in store. They enjoy a rub and a scratch behind the ear and a few, most specifically Red, return the affection with a lick or two. All in all they're progressing well and right on schedule and their weights are staying fairly even. I'm looking forward to spending more time outside with them over the course of the next couple days. Tomorrow, following a supervised "run-amuck", they'll likely spend a great deal of time just hanging out in their outdoor habitat as I strive to complete my project that has to be finished by Thursday evening. When I say I don't shelter my pups, I mean that literally. Unless it poses any danger to them they learn to live with and become comfortable with whatever projects may be in the works whether it be mopping, mowing or constructing. The more noise and experiences the better as long as it's not insanely loud or introduced so quickly that they find it scary.
Goodnight.
