The puppies are coming on leaps and bounds now, all are fit and healthy and getting much more active. They generally wake every couple of hours or so and come straight out of their cage and promptly do a 'wee' on the training pads. Then they play, like puppies do, for about 10 or 15 minutes before they are worn out and find their way back to bed.
During the last few days we have started to introduce them to the 'food mixture' that we talked about in the last post. They are having to be spoon fed at the moment, just to get them used to the taste, but gradually they will be able to lap it themselves from the saucer.
You can just see in the picture above that all the pups now have their own little collars so that they get used to wearing them from an early age. We have found it is much easier to do this now, rather than later, as it tends to irritae them more when they are older. Blaze's collar is purple, Bigsy's is red, Fudge's is black and Freckle's is red & white checked. They are all fine with the collars and don't seem to be bothered by them in the slightest.
All the puppies are starting to develop their teeth now and in the picture above you can clearly see Bigsy showing of his new gnashers whilst he is fast sleep.
Finally, this weeks video is a few minutes of the puppies during one of the many playtimes that they have everyday now. You can see that they are far more active and inquisitive and love to play with each other too!
