Finally, temps that allow outdoor play and potty! Ripley is always happy to play with the babies.
The pups are having a hard time settling with their new digs. Doesn't help the nightlight is way too bright! I'm hoping they've partied hard and will sleep good til 6.
I've been sneaking the little sheepies in with the bigger pups for play time while the mothers aren't watching. We've also started bringing potential families over for visits. I will start announcing which ones have been chosen later in the week. Bernie's babies are way ahead of the curve and ready to love on people while Laika's started the weekend a little apprehensive. Tonight they made it a point to come play with me more, waging their tails and talking at me. They also allowed other people to hold them. Sheepies turned three weeks old so they will be getting their first bath and bernedoodles will be getting their third as they turn five weeks old tomorrow!
Decided it was time to introduce the pups to the outdoors. Ripley came along to help her little friends get comfortable. They absolutely loved it but were ready to go back inside after five minutes.
A little after dinner play time! Their ears are slowly opening so each day Their walking will improve. I love the toddle stage ❤️
Waiting for the kids to final potty before I give them a wipe down bath and give them their beds back. During this week it's important that I ensure they don't step in pee/poop and then carry the smell to their bedding. This way they understand the boundaries of where they potty vs where they sleep.
The pups are distracted by their momma outside the door. They are slowly learning that crying at the door gets them nowhere, so they just lay there waiting!
