Oh my, these puppies are still so small and don’t really do anything but eat and sleep yet I can sit and look at them all day.

There is often little squeaks that are so heart warming.
They actually do crawl quite a bit and its fun to watch them waddle around finding what they are looking for even though they cant see a thing.
The way their mother cleans them, licking their bottoms to get them to wee and poeh. This is done in a brisk and “forceful” way that we humans wouldn’t dream of doing with our own human babies.
The way they drink, their little paws pumping their mothers belly to get the milk flowing.
Seeing how their tongs wrap around mums nipples and believe me they are suction tight!
Looking at one of the pups stuck under mother’s side looking rather squashed but actually being cosy and warm.
Watching day by day how the colours are changing, starting with their a birth pink paw pads that with some are already dark indicating these will most likely be “roam” coated pups while the puppies with still pink pads will stay white-brown.
Seeing how each day my other dogs peep over the edge to see the little aliens. This is always done carefully and with much respect to Zanna.
Watching how Zanna day by day lets the others watch and then by some secret queue she will put her body between the other dog and the pups and no one argues with her protective reasoning.
And just when you think all puppies have fallen asleep the first starts to wiggle again and wakes up the rest for the next meal. Squeaking and snuffling contentedly cos life is so yummy and warm.

Pfffffff I haven’t told you half of it and already I’m thinking no wonder I’m so busy with these puppies that aren’t doing anything!
