It was a busy day for the puppies today.
First the girls learnt how to make their bed.
Sweetie found out that pulling and tugging on their nice soft “vet bed” was lots of fun, and that under it all there is fun news papers that you can tear to pieces.
Then to the pups amazement they were finally aloud into the big wide world of my lounge.
I was waiting for the day that my large Esterla male would leave the lounge and go sleep upstairs. Last litter he started doing that when they got to the age of making lots of noise and wanting to go walk about. But with this litter Flecha is totally used to puppies, still not particularly liking them but not getting annoyed enough of them to leave the room.
So I warned him if he didn’t go himself he would, without complaint, have to accept the fact that the little horrors would be running freely. I kept them out of his way, but he was very much aware that they were there. In the corner of his eye he could see them and every now and then when he suspected they could come his way I heard a little grumble. That was actually quite handy as it was a very much in time warning for me to keep the puppies from heading towards him.
The pups were so excited with the fact that they could go further than their whelping box walls that they started to run around in excitement on there nice freshly made bed. After a long play in the lounge they all slept for hours….
But the day’s excitement wasn’t over yet… the next new experience was having their first “man made” meal which was chicken wing mince. Sun bear and Sweetie started with out any hesitation and really enjoyed it. Hippie and Pixie just yelled while trying to climb over the whelping box walls as they could smell their mother standing on the other side. She was glaring at the yummy chicken mix that was in the whelping box.
But finally the “silly ones” noticed the enticing chicken smell and they too ate their fill, well they were nearly full because when I finally let Zanna jump in to clean out the bowls all 4 pups still had some room left over for a “mummy made meal”… they drank themselves totally full and ended the day falling down in sleepy contentment.
