SEE HOW THEY GROW
SIX WEEKS OLD The puppies are now six weeks old. They are very energetic but get tired and love to sleep a lot. They are eating well and growing very quickly. Kaleigh likes to look at them but doesn't want to be with them so much as their teeth are sharp now - I don't blame her! I have taken out the whelping box and put a puppy crate in for them, with the door left open all the time. At first they went in there to play but now some will fall asleep in there. I introduce new things to them regularly and when I put a new object into their pen, they all gather round it to examine it. They have been in the garden in a play pen. I take them to explore different parts of the garden, two at a time, and they seem very confident with new things. They have met the watering can!! They love to be cuddled and love to play chase with each other. Often they play tug of war with each other, they love tuggers. They also love to pull my dressing gown belt, while I'm wearing it!! They are a very fit and healthy little bunch of rascals. I've just spent quite a lot of time in the garden with the puppies. A nice warm day, no rain, so I had them all in the playpen, took out a couple at a time so they could explore the garden. Then I added another and another until they were all out of the pen. They had a wonderful time exploring. Some were especially interested in emptying a small flower pot! They explored the pebbles, the grass (what there is left of it!), raced along the patio with each other and had a great time. I was amazed at how fast they can run. They were all adventurous, all seem to be very confident. They had their dinner outside in the playpen, too. I've set up another area for them to explore so hope the weather is good tomorrow. After their meal, hey did all their wees, etc, out in the garden :) Now they are having a really good sleep indoors. A new bag of Burns Mini Bites arrived today - they have already eaten almost a 15 kg bag between them :))
