So iv been quiet on here but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy. We had our turn dealing with covid after one of the girls caught it at school luckily none of us were to badly effected but wev also had better news. Before our litter we had been having doubts that zola was able to fall pregnant. So we put our name down on a breeders waiting list for a little girl. Her pedigree is just 😍 including dogs from glenaholm, kangelani and arte cassari. We expected a long wait but only a year later and our little girl is coming home. We expect her to arrive home around the 25th so id like to introduce you all to Leena.

A nice walk to the café to meet a couple of friends, nia practiced her settle and did amazingly well. Most people spoke to me about her and i explained she going through a fear stage and we are working on her ignoring people and other dogs, but as usual you always gets one who thinks they know best. She reached straight down to put her hands over my happily relaxed pups head. Que lots of barking and her then acting offended thinking shed done nothing wrong.
Back home now and Nia is knock out.

It been a chaotic hour or so here. Zola came back in to heat before she could get spayed so kiki has been staying with my parents to avoid the pitter patter of more tiny paws.
Today hes home and to say the pack is happy to be back together would be an understatement.

Nia being a typical broken ridgeback. Unfortunately shes not feeling well at the minute not that youd know it while shes zooming around the house at 100 miles an hour. Shes got a urinary tract infection, its quiet common in large breed girl puppys as extra skin can hood the v***a trapping bacteria so something to watch out for in girls.
A week of antibiotics and shel be right as rain.

2 and a half weeks difference but you can see the puppy look changing already 😍

Spaniels make the best play mates for ridgeback puppys 😆 missy has a battery that never runs out and is always ready for a play fight. A few mire weeks and Nia will be bigger then missy.

This photo was taken last night and it made me very emotional to watch mother and daughter sound asleep resting peacefully together. It might seem like the most normal thing in the world but on the same day last month i was sat next to my girl while her body worked overtime trying to fight an infection. The video in the comments is from that day i think youl see why last night had the effect on me that it did.

I felt little tilly deserved a post of her own being the only girl to leave us. Tilly was very hard to part with but i knew deep down our home wasn't the right place for her. Tilly loved one to one attention and with them beautiful eyes that make you melt i knew i had to let her go. She seems more then content in her new home so that lifts my spirits x x x

So last week was hard and emotionally draining. We only have nee nees and zeus left here and the house seems empty which is silly considering i still have 2 adult ridgies and missy here to. Its been lovely seeing all the updates from the puppy parents seeing how there pups are settling in. One word iv heard a lot about the pups is fearless which feels great. Each pup has left here with a little piece of my heart and they will never be forgotten. X

So mr burgunbaby is off to his new home tomorrow and wev already had a few tears. This little man is funny, independent and full of confidence. Iv loved every second of him being here and would happily have a whole litter of this little man. I cant believe 8 weeks is over already and i will miss this little man so much but at the same time i know hes ready for a new adventure. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

So the puppies food has arrived this morning and each pup will leave us with a bag.
We have also spoken with our vet and booked zola in to be spayed on the 9th of September. After going through so much with this litter it wouldnt be fair on her to put her through it again.
I look forward to watching this litter grow up and cant wait to see what beautiful adults they turn into. We might even try some shows with Nia and Odin or even some agility with Nia.
With only 8 days left till the babies start leaving us im already a little sad and cherishing every last cuddle they offer.

Another busy day sorting vets,puppy pack and of course lots of playing. The pups got 7 new toys today to put through there paces and see how tough they are. I think they approved as theyv shattered themselves. These guys have 3 beds they could have chosen to sleep on but nope whats the fun in that. Mums clean washing is a far better place to sleep. Can you count them all?

Iv been neglecting this page a bit as its been very busy here. The pups are now 6 weeks and the work has kicked up a notch. Wev slowly introduced missy to the pups and she happily plays with them in the mornings before it gets to hot. The pups have all started to go out for walks in my arms to get them used to outside noises such as cars and have started spending longer periods individually away from the rest of the litter.

The pups love the tunnel.

10 o'clock last night and the pups were enjoying a final play before bedtime.

Wev introduced they pups to a snuffle mat these are great for working the puppies senses ziggy(mr grey) and mr blue who has had so many name changes i have no idea what hes called now seem so have got the idea of the mat straight away.

I was supposed to do the others photos today but i didn't get around to it. Tillys visit with her new daddy went well and i think the love was mutual. It was agreed choosing between the boys is not going to be easy for viewers over the next few days as they are all lovely. As iv neglected the photos heres a little video of the boys playing. Excuse the state of the duvet its one i throw down anywhere and everywhere, today its been outside to help the pups get down the step from the back door.

So following on from the socialisation post earlier this week i thought id explain a little of what we have been doing this week. The video show the puppies experiencing the noise of fireworks for the first time. They reacted exactly as we had hoped and expected. They were a little startled at first but as the fear response is still under developed they quickly settled and were no longer bothered by the strange noise. We have played this at random times while the puppies are both awake and asleep and will continue to do so. Other tasks we have started this week include introducing the pups through the stair gate to our other dogs. Akiki couldn't work out what they are and kept his distance, missy showed more interest and the pups just wanted to get back to exploring. Taking the ball the pups like to play with and rolling it outside there pen were they cant reach it, this helps them learn to control there frustration. We have also provided the pups with lots of different materials to explore with there feet such as pillows, blankets, vinyl, carpet and piled up towels around the kitchen. If while the pup is exploring they get stuck under a blanket for instance,we stand back and as long as it is safe allow the pup to work out how to free themselves rather then intervening. This helps them build problem solving skills which is essential in later life. Finally we had one good day of weather so the pups had a few minutes in the garden. Fingers crossed for some more good weather or else il be making the puppies jumpers. There have been lots of other tasks done this week butvi thought id share a few, next week we will continue to build on these as well as introduce more new tasks.

Excuse the mess theyv just been fed and i wait for them to fall asleep before changing the pads( it takes half the time). The pups have now discovered toys mr yellow likes the spiked ball in the back ground mr blue here seems to like the rope toy.

At 3 and a half weeks old with a set of teeth like needles there is no way this isnt sore for zola. Im so proud of my girl not every mum would feed as well as she does.

Mr burgundy had already helped himeslf to zolas food this morning, so thought id give the pups some lunch and see how they go sure enough they love it.

The feeding frenzy part 1. We have anothee busy day ahead. Yesterday all the pups were wormed, today the puppy pool is coming down and they will have separate sleeping playing and toileting areas. Now seems a good time to do this as we have a couple of pups that are extra confident in there ability to climb and have had a few escape attempts, they are also already showing a preference to sleeping away from where they toliet so this will give them more space 😀.

I upset the pups cleaning them out this morning luckily zo knows just how to settle them. Some cuddles and now there all back asleep if miss nia who makes a lot of noise through out this.

Day 15 the pups will be wormed for the first time this week we are giving them a few extra days, due to there tummys only just starting to settle down after zolas antibiotics x

Pups are 2 weeks old now. Only another 2 weeks till thet start meeting there new families. Mr grey decided yo investigate the bed on all 4 feet.

The pups are going longer between feeds now but there always one that likes to disturb the peace. I could and do watch these all day 😍

Im trying to get a cuddle with my girl but someone wants to join us x

Please excuse my horrid voice in this. I hate the sound of my own voice in video and keep trying to be quiet for the pups dispite knowing they cant hear me anyway.
