The puppies are still fairly content in their whelping box, they are still too small to go walk about. But when they see their mother they get so excited and really try to climb over the sides.



This evening it was “get used to crackly paper” exercise. In Tieka’s last litter there was one pup that ran away soooo fast at the touch and sound of this stuff. I was expecting a good laugh again.(the puppy did get used to it)
But these pups all passed with flying colours and after the initial “gosh what’s that” reaction they all thought it was rather fun.
As you can see fun toys don’t have to be expensive.



Last week I met the smallest Chihuahua/dog I’d ever seen. She is about 6 months, is called Maipo and has a lot of guts!! On Sundays “her lady” takes her to a dog school that allows puppies to all run free together, the owners just stand and watch and the trainer keeps an eye on things and steps in when needed. Well one thing for sure no one will have to step in to protect Maipo, but maybe the Leon Berger pup could use some protection hahahaha.



And since today Maipo is accompanied to the same school by her new girlfriend Dotje.
Dotje is an Italian, imported by me, and is looked after by the best person any living creature could every hope to have, Siets. Siets entertains me no end with regular “Dotje’s stories” that I read with a smile from ear to ear.
Dotjes pedigree name is Isabella and she is the best! She has everything one could hope for, beauty, grace, temperament, inquisitive, fearlessness, sense of humour, a very loving character, charming..… I could go on but I’m sure you already get the picture LOL.
When things are “back to normal” Dotje will have her own segment in our home page.


Heres a wonderful close-up of her taken last week by a great Belgium girlfriend Marleen. How she did it is a mystery to me cos Dotje is never still in one place for long. She picked out Dotje for me and brought her back from Italy.
I will be eternally grateful to Marleen and Siets
