4 Weeks tomorrow.


Spirits pups have been the most laid back puppies I have ever had, I'm guessing this is due to lack of competition. At this stage (4 weeks old tomorrow) most of my litters would be ravenously eating 4 meals a day and would have been escaping from the whelping box. Not so with these 3, Spirit is obviously feeding them very well as, although they do eat when food is offered, they just have a few bites and then go to sleep it off, all are chunky monkeys so no worries there. Today I took down the divider between the pen and the first part of their run extension. This thoroughly confused them, and they spent about 20 minutes screaming and wading through their water bowl before falling asleep at the front of the run, completely oblivious to their mum who was happily lying on the bed behind them, lol.

By the afternoon they have got it sussed and are happily playing again. The photos may give the impression that Somme is the dominant character out of the litter, this isn't strictly true, the fact that she is cream makes her stand out from her siblings and of course, she is far easier to photograph than the blacks.
