It’s time for the pups to start exploring outside! They were a little hesitant at first but with some encouragement from us, Florence and Bella, they all started to venture out! 🥰 in a few days they’ll all be racing to get outside 😝
We have had a busy weekend meeting half of the pups lovely forever homes, with the other half coming next weekend 😁
After breakfast playtime. The pups are very active now and growing like weeds! 😝 they’ve certainly found their voices now too, they really love the sound of their own barks 😅
Weaning is well underway and currently are having two soaked kibble meals a day moving to three by 4 weeks old. Top ups from mummy Bella are more spaced out now so it’s giving her more of a break, she’s thoroughly enjoying catching up on her sleep 😝
3 weeks old tomorrow! They are growing so quickly 😅 here is feeding and playtime. The pups are all very active now and up on their feet, it’s such an adorable stage seeing them start to play with each other 🥰
Bella continues to do a fantastic job of looking after her babies. She is spending more time away from them now, about 50% of the day with them as they approach weaning which starts tomorrow along with the first round of their worming routine.
Sound desensitisation is also underway on a low volume to begin with, we will gradually increase the volume over the next couple of weeks. It’s going to be a very busy weekend for us as we gear up for our puppy visitors next week!
2 weeks old and everyone is so active and lively now! Everyone is up on their feet and wobbling around 😝 we also have lots of eyes open too, it’s lovely to see their little faces 🥰
Only another week until weaning commences! Where is the time going?! 😅
We are ten days old today! Everyone is thriving with great weight gains and they are starting to crawl around the box more now. Bella is doing fantastic and still has lots of milk as can be heard in the video! We should start to see some eyes opening in the next few days too 🥰
Human update! We are still in the sleepless night stage 😅 napping beside the box and making sure everyone is getting onto a nipple throughout the night.
6 days old 🥰 Listen to that milk flow! All of the pups have had big weight gains once again today, well above the average we expect, especially considering we have 10! Bella is doing such a fantastic job 💖
