Splish splash I am taking a bath.. hope it warm up soon so I can get in There too 😉
Georgia and Alice love the water and swimming. Silas hasn’t made up his mind on this yet
We’re falling back into summer mode. Oh how
We love this time , a long winter, puppies, trips away, it’s time to enjoy the summer . Georgia is in full beauty mode right now, she’s just over 2 years old and a 110 lbs , her coat is just magnificent , we’re giving everyone codliver oil and raw eggs every day. Alice is looking o great shape after her puppies. But as usual the coat is blown and won’t be back till fall, probably ok for the summer. Silas is also in great shape , but we can’t get him in the water yet, 😂😂😂 he just dips his toes in I think when it’s hot enough he will be in There too ..
8 week trip to the vets
And we’re off to the vets. A good 45 minute drive and we get our first experience in a vehicle .
We did great
Alice babies. 8 weeks old
Today is our big bath day and this morning we have been practicing our “manding” basically learning how to “ask” or communicate, making eye contact. This is a big part of seeing a puppy switched on, alert and ready to learn and communicate with thier human It’s amazing to watch it go from crazy jumping chaos to quietly sitting and watching and waiting. Pretty awesome for an 8 week old
Puppy. They are learning and growing at an incredible rate right now. Thanks to Sophia for coming to help today, it really does take two people to do videos whilst working with the puppies.
Here we are. Going into our 8th week..it’s here. And what a beautiful bunch of puppies they are. Vet visit is on Thursday and then it’s time to meet our new families we are outside enjoying the beautiful sunshine this morning
6 weeks old. Relax time
After our short exercise in loud startle noises we are getting ready to relax and have the first of many naps today 🥰🥰💤💤
6 week old startle noise exercise
This morning after breakfast we went outside for the 15 mins it actually stopped raining, it was just a light misty rain . Then we came back inside and did some loud startle noises. We are not in the occasional fear period times they go through and every one just watched inquisitively and then got all excited when I called them lol. They did great, not one puppy ran away scared , a good exercise in confidence building .
First outdoor adventure
We just had to do it. It’s calling for 3 days of rain so this evening is our chance to get outside It’s a super challenge for them to venture outside. One or two are hesitant, but after this they won’t be again. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Today we went out to the puppy play area where we have so much more room to run around and play. The big dogs get to come in and visit and I get to clean house lol. Puppy’s will be back in the house tonight.. it’s a gradual adjustment and has always worked out really well. We will start to explore the outside soon as long as we don’t have continual rain 😂😂it’s quite entertaining to watch them
We are “6 WEEKS “ old. And we are playful fluffy and got extreme cuteness going on. Also in the bitey stage too. I often hear little squeals of ouch . All part of learning how to play . This week we’ll move into some
More challenging exercises, and change up the environment a bit. Hope to start getting some outside time . Weather dependant of course.
Monday morning . Alice babies nearly 6 weeks
It’s Monday. Morning. Alice is the best momma ever, first thing she jumps
Into the puppy pen so I can get in and quickly remove all the poopy papers and bedding without 20 little paws running through it lol. we listen to an 18 minute video every morning after breakfast of (obnoxious)sounds such as doorbells. Knocks dogs barking thunderstorms etc. we are entering into our 6th week. How did we get here so fast 😟
