2 Deck Play

Here is the hall and 2 level deck play.

Pups had a new experience. They had stairs and a ramp and all sorts of new things to contend with. They even had a table from our top deck that they can fit on the bottom level and have a bit of fun. They really really enjoyed it today. 

As I had a very busy grooming schedule today, Dennis was going to do it. But I had no photos - no videos and I said NO. He took them in the hall while I was grooming and when I finished, I was able to take photos and videos of this 1st experience. I can't believe he didn't know that I have to see this 1st. 

Tempie pups being 2 weeks older went up and down the stairs with ease. They had a blast!

Videos are up.

8 Week Visit

Here is the gallery of the visit. I will post another one on Spirit's blog of the 3 crew.

The pups are 10 weeks old on September 29th so this is the earliest date they can go home. 

I believe they had a good visit. We did take out the smallest lil gal of Ella's and it looked like the couple at the end was smitten. Maybe they want an Ella pup instead. :-) 

Due to this visit, the 3 crew came out after the departure and got to play with just themselves.

Not to worry - Tempie's crew had lots of playing. They just needed to rest after the visit.

Sage was also out as she was in heat. She relished the visit too.

Videos are going up shortly. I am late on everything today as I also had a ton of grooming. Tomorrow is similar. 

Puppy Visit Tomorrow

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow the Tempie pups have their 8 week visit. My has time flown. They will be excited and we will be excited to show them off. Going to be a fun visit.

We had intended on taking them into the pool but it was too cool. First warmer day we will. 

Videos are now up.

Full of Fun

Here is the gallery.

As they are older, this crew really shows you what to expect. Yes, there is a variety of personalities but you can see what they are capable of at each stage.

They love these hanging toys now. They grab and pull and have a great amount of fun from them. The beauty is you can change them up and create a new interest. 

It was cool today and they didn't mind one bit. After all, you eat, you sleep and you play. 

The videos are going up soon. 

Conditioning

Here is the gallery.

The Tempie pups are delicious. They are truly agile now. They jump off the slide or ramp. We will have to try them on 2 decks. They run. They play. They enjoy upstairs and outdoors or on the main floor hall. Dennis takes them out at night before going upstairs to run in the kitchen too. 

We drop dishes, pans, slam doors, flush toilets. We are sound conditioning them. They take their cue at times from their moms. If moms do not react, they do not. Life is fun and I am glad that I am a part of it!

Videos are uploaded.

Sunny But Cool

Here is the gallery of all the pups.

Okay, we had a funny event happen today. A Tempie puppy started harrassing the littlest Ella pup. Ella's pup did not put up with it. The rest of the time, it didn't happen again. She may be small but she said enough and bravo Tempie puppy for listening!

They always start at this age to test the waters. They want to see who can do what and who will put up and who will not. It's a normal process where they learn boundaries. It is actually critical so they start reading body language and someone saying NO! 

This is why puppies need to stay for 10 weeks as they learn from each other and from their moms. 

Other than that - they ran like banshees and had a blast. Dare I say they love the outdoors the most.

Videos coming soon.

Upstairs Play Today

Here is the gallery.

We had one of this crew - a fgal - we are not saying which jump up to grab the end of the toilet paper and run out and down the hall with it. I have seen the adults do this when they are having too much fun but not a puppy. I guess it was hanging too low and one creative soul said why not. It was funny.

I love the creative souls as their minds are always working.

Check out the videos.

Fun Communications

Here is the gallery of upstairs and outside play. 

Got to love the interactions between the litters. It doesn't matter if it is a sibling or not - well they play with all. 

I can't believe this crew will be 8 weeks this Thursday. How did that happen?They act like they are 8 weeks. They are so joyful and full of it. They just love love love!

Videos are coming soon!

Meeting of the Minds

Sometimes I notice these interactions between the pups. It's as if they talk to each other. It is wonderful.

The Tempie pups are amazing. She truly is a grand mom who teaches them how to play. 

I think I took some photos of this crew today but if so, they are in the morning or afternoon visit. 

I am goingh to have to see about getting these pups out shortly but maybe Dennis will do all of them together. We shall see. 1st dinner.

Escape

Here is the gallery.

The Tempie crew escaped a bath. As we have a 6 week visit tomorrow for the 3 set, they didn't have the fun of a bath. Next time - little ones.

Tempie almost is out of milk so these little ones will have to rely on kibble and chicken. They have mostly made the leap but still have high hopes when Tempie is around and well she loves to feed them.

Check out the videos. More coming.
