Countdown!

There's no denying it, I'm tired (you would be surprized how many corrections I've had to make to this writing already). 16 pups are starting to take their toll I think I am lucky to get 5 hrs sleep a night at the moment, and of course, like children they wake up loud and bouncy at the crack of dawn :-).

They are both lovely litters and in all honesty apart from being a bit on the noisy side, they have been easy. Although some are more pushy than others none are shy. They are all eating really well - going through about 5kgs of meat a day, and other from slightly loose tummies at the start of weaning they have done really well on their raw meat diet. They are off to the vets on Weds to be microchipped, that could be fun taking 16 pups on their 1st journey, must remember to take planty of kitchen towel!

The first babies leave home on next Saturday (21.08) and the majority will follow fairly quickly. The 2 pups that are flying to their new homes will be staying with me until the 1st week of September. I now have just 1 apricot boy and 2 silver boys waiting to find someone to love.

It's getting harder to get nice pictures as the pups get faster and every time you get down to their level to get a shot, they mug you. Will get the video camera out this weekend as I don't think we have any visitors due (unless of course someone wants to meet the remaining pups) as video still takes me considerably longer to do than stills.
