At
the end of this 4th puppyweek only
very quickly a couple of pictures.
As for the rest there is not much
news to report, everything is just
going super with both mummy Venice
and her beautiful children. And up
till now we are very lucky with the
weather, the past few days the pups
were able to linger in the garden in
the morning ánd in the afternoon
for almost an hour. Hopefully it
stays that way!

Day
34: instead of a waterbowl there is a
drinking nippel and the pups understand
perfectly how that works!

goes well too! Pictured left male 'black'

Last
Saturday it was warm and dry enough to let
the puppies make
their acquaintance with the phenomenon
'garden'. For this occasion the outdoor
pen was already slightly furnished with
some novelties; not too many right away as
that might be overwhelming for the
puppies, so just starting on a small scale.
And that had a positive effect, moreover mummy and Dyonne were there
too so
very quickly all ten were playing and
running! On the Sunday their Puppy
Playground was made somewhat more tempting
by means of
a big inflatable ball and a rattling
treatball. Also a knotrope and a bottle
with marbles were slung; the pups can push
against it or pull it, besides it's good
for the little ones to gain the experience
of something moving and/or making a sound.
Everything already as a part of the
socialization! I hope in the coming weeks
the weather will be good enough to have
them in the garden for a little while
every day because they have so much fun
there.
Meanwhile the puppies also had their first
meatporridge-meal (fresh meat mixed with
goat's milk), they again attacked it like
wolves!! Their faeces
remained good by it too, a sign
that their intestines tolerate the new food well. Ofcourse they
also still get more than enough milk from mummy
so they grow very fast and look fantastic.
Happy, grateful doggies they are, I feel
very blessed to again have all this
beauty around me!
