Puppies are growing up

The latest litter of puppies are nearly four  weeks old and are keeping us captivated by their antics.
They are jumping , barking and playing with their siblings, but most of all they are growing rapidly  in front of our eyes.

When the puppies were born , they averaged 400 grams, now some of them are over three kilos!
They are gradually getting used to their first form of "house training" they have newspaper surrounding their beds and they dutifully trot out to use their "paper toilet"

Soon ,they will move from the kitchen to one of the stables, in a few days they will be strong enough to go into their outside play pen, during daylight hours  if the weather is favourable.

Of course Meg is an excellent mother and they are looked after 100% of the time, however since last week due to vociferous demand ,I have supplemented their diet with weetabix and milk, It is an amazing sight for when I put the bowl down, they gallop over to the bowl and the food vanishes in a few seconds.


Once they are replete, they stagger back to their bed, with protruding tummies for a little sleep. In about 45 minutes, the cycle begins again, first a feed from Mum , then a top up with their cereals, a little play and a little rest. It is certainly a "puppies life"

We have one boy and three girls available for reservation.
