May 31st....puppy gruel..and more play

The puppies




eat out of a special





bowl. It is less messy




than a regular dish





would be. Of





course, Leeya is





always willing




to finish anything





that is left..and





lick the remains




off little paws and





bodies.

May 30th.....

Indy is very



interested





in the new



additions.






She is a full sister



to the pups



from last






years litter. It





won't be



long and she





will be able



to play






with them some.






Right now



Indy is play



bowing to them






from the other side






of the gating.



HOW






she wants to play...!!!

The puppies have

learned that when

Mom makes her visits...

they need to scramble

to get the lunch bar.

Her hours of business

are getting shorter

and shorter. Here

you see Green boy

hurrying over Leeya's

back and pushing

his way thru for

some milk.

They are all playing

with their toys and one

another more. They

are just so cute to watch.

We spend many hours

in their area just

playing with them

ourselves. They love

using us for climbing

and for taking nap time.

Here, blue boy thinks

Yellow's foot is very

tasty. You will hear

some puppy yelps every so

often when the chew is

too hard. Things they

all need to work out.

Blue boy is chewing

on the swinging tote

to see how tasty it is..

May 28th..moving into puppy play/llving area

The puppies officially



moved into their



puppy area on Thursday.



Leeya is weaning them



on her own, and spends



less and less time nursing



them. Afterall, they



have teeth now..ouch !!

May 27th...we are growing.

The puppies will be four




weeks old on Sunday. My




how the time flies.




They are interacting



more with one another,



and mouthing




and playing with




their toys. They have




time out of the




whelping box,



and their little noses



are very busy




picking up the




new smells.

They all know that

there is a big world

out there, and are

trying very hard to

get out and explore it.

Time to go into their

'puppy play' area.

May 26th...

The puppies are cutting

their baby teeth right now.

They like to chew on a

cold wash cloth that we

have in the freezer just

for them.

Leeya now stays in

the whelping box with

them after nursing.

They like to play around

her and then take a nap

close to Mom.

In the next three

pictures you will see

yellow boy stretched

out on his back with

his litter mates asleep

on top of him. Those

are his little legs hanging

out.
