Litter March 2011
Week 6
Monday 2nd May 2011
Oh! how time flies, the puppies were 5 weeks old yesterday. Steffi has now recovered from her Mastitis, however she has lost one of her Mammary Glands. The hole which was left, has now completely healed by itself without the need for any surgery, which is good news.
The puppies continue to grow and today we have had to add the play area extension to the front of the whelping box to give them some extra room in which to play. - pics to follow.

We have put a small dog bed in with the puppies, this makes not only a great activity toy for them it also introduces them to going into the dog bed and is good training. So when they go to their new homes if their owners have a bed for the puppy it will have no fear of it . All the puppies love this new addition to the play area and they are having a great time defending their territory as you will see from the following pictures.
He looks comfortable in there, think I'll join him
Yes this is comfortable, but time to get him out
I'll sit on top of him - that should do it
Out he goes

Black Will went on the garden for the first time today, he looks a little bedgraggled because he and Little Geilo like sleeping with their heads in the water bowl.
