Everyone ate in their separate crates today for the first time while their pen was being cleaned. Well, Maggie started the chorus again today. Finally, I moved her into the study and let Belles baby sit her, but it was too late because I couldn't get them to stop. After the pen was cleaned, each puppy was weighed. By putting them into separate pens to eat, they are slowing down on their food consumption since they aren't in competition with the other puppies.
Maggie is still leading the pack in weight, but she hasn't been eating much by herself. So, it might give everyone else a chance to catch up with her!
They, it was bath time before they went back into their pen (again)! Seems this is a dirty crowd, and we may be having baths everyday. We might have to step it up to twice a day.
They looked bored, so I gave them chew sticks today. They don't seem much on playing with their toys. They enjoyed those for awhile. Next, I cut up with paper towel holders. Some of them got stuck on their noses - very cute.
I have video, but I think it ran to long to post. I'll try and get some of it. Sorry, I'm between new computers and trying to get everything setup or this litter is getting the short end of the technology stick. I'm having problems posting pictures on Breeders.Net of the puppies. I think they have changed their software also - like Goggle Blogs - which cuts down on the file size of picture or video which you can post.
The puppies are getting more animated with each other. Maggie was so tired after all her singing and playing that she fell asleep for awhile. She just had to have a nap before she got up to play again. The other puppies were going strong!
The puppies had a visit from their Grandma CoCo and Uncle Chase (no relation) today. They did great with them. CoCo has been trying to get them to play in their crates. I cannot wait to get her out with the puppies and see if she will play with them. She really didn't play with her own. Aunt Tazz (no relation) played with her puppies. Everyone picks up the slack since Mom cannot play with them (due to they would want to nurse again).
Belles was in the study with Maggie, and she knew the minute I let the other dogs come in to see the puppies in their crates. She finally worked her way out of the study and squeezed through the kitchen gate to check on things. She has calmed down greatly since the first four weeks! Everything was cool with her!
I was up late last night making collages of all the puppies except Zoey. She will get one today after the errands are run! Promise!
After making them, I do see I need to take more individual pictures of them!
11AM - Falling to sleep with Love Songs being played by Pandora. If their room turns out to be the utility room, they have heard the washer and dryer going continuously since the third week of their lives.
Momma's milk is almost dried up, so hopefully she will be able to play with the puppies before they go to their new homes.
