We can't quite believe that the puppies are 5 weeks old, time flies when you are having fun!  It was a nice day on Tuesday so the puppies experienced the big outside world for the first time.  However, the wind was quite cold so they were only outside on the garden for 10 minutes and didn't quite know what to make of it. There are only pictures of five of them because I couldn't get a decent picture of the other male.

The puppies now feed out of their own individual bowls from the puppy feeder.

 

Yesterday, we looked in the whelping box and could only count 5 puppies and a lump!

It is one of the girls who loves to burrow underneath the whelping blanket, however this means that the other puppies can sit on it

lay on it

or just play around it

We want you to come out

it's so snuggly though

You're wasting your time

 

I'll just go back again!!

The puppies are now quite active and love playing with each other, however they are just as happy and amusing playing on their own as this next sequence of pictures shows

 

I love you

but that doesn't mean I won't pull your ear off!!

Oh I'm sorry I'll kiss it better

Friends again!

There have been no pictures for a couple of days because Ian took the camera with him to Crufts. Normal service now resumed!! It was a beautiful day here yesterday so the puppies went outside onto the garden.  However, the pen we put up for them wasn't really big enough for us to get in with them and take pictures. Another problem I encountered when trying to take the pictures, as you will see below was Katie!!

She kept sitting on my knee which made things rather difficult!!

However she would have loved to get in there with them

They were also interested in what Freya was doing

We have now extended the whelping box so that they have more room

and introduced a small bed which they love playing in

Skye playing in the bed - It is unusual for there to be only one puppy in there. 

Although this boy seems to know what the bed is for!
