Halleluja! Things are settling!!! Ritz is doing fabulous! Remedy and the pups too!
Spent the last couple days trying to get my life back in order! House cleaning for the most part and dealing with my Affie, Fancy's coat! More to do tomorrow... Both Fancy and the house have taken a pretty serious hit over the past couple weeks but I'm getting there on both. Fancy's brushed but needs a bath. Waiting for warmer temps. The house... getting there too! I don't think ever totally there though. Combination of old house and 8 dogs definitely presents an ongoing challenge. But... it is what it is. My life and I love it.
Finally feel like I've reached the upswing I've been waiting for!!! Regaining a sense of control. Even took a few hours for myself yesterday and enjoyed a horseback ride with a friend. Needed!!!
As for the pups and Remedy, they've really been the least of my worries the past week... Doing great!!! The pups are growing and getting their move on! Each more adorable by the day and no one falling behind. All began opening eyes a few days ago and all are wide open now but for the most part they continue to keep them closed. Don't think it makes much difference to them actually. While open it takes a while for them to really see. It's a process, beginning with shadows, acuity gradually increasing over the course of several weeks. I'm seeing no evidence that they can hear yet but that will be coming soon! The total awakening.
This past week they've gotten more mobile but their ability to walk remains shaky at best. They're doing a lot of stretching, moaning and groaning and some throw in an occasional bark. Building muscles and vocals. l love having them at my bedside to get a good and regular view of the subtle changes that occur on a day to day basis.
Having a hard time catching them on camera with their eyes open and for the most part they don't stay upright on all fours to catch them in action either. But that will quickly change. Amazing how fast they change.
