We’re (Dot puppies) going to the shopping center today to learn to be sociable! This is my first time in the car and I’m very cool about it. Ineke and Betty helping us from the car park to shopping street.This is Carin. She was the 3rd helper of Suzanne to keep us under control.
Don’t you think Tree looks suspicious of the whole thing? I took it all in my strid…. Mind you it was a lot safer on that nice lap of Carin’s
And there we where in the big wide world! Another new thing was the collar around our neck and the leash to keep us within reach should we unexpectedly take off. So much for our escape plan…
A nice lady stopped to show us her big puppy in a “rolly chair”. Good idea cos that’s one big puppy to have to carry around!
Betty gave us lots of encouragement. My sisters took it all in their stride. Espresso standing like a photo model, what a show off hehehe.
Blix got all excited meeting a new canine. But this dog obviously didn’t get this training when young and wouldn’t come close to any of us, not even to our humans. Pity cos she looked awful cute.
We met a man with a long white beard which as you can see the humans found more interesting than we did.
The handy trolley in the front of the photo would have been a cool thing to ride in cos by now we were really getting tired. Time to sit and enjoy the unexpected sunny weather!
Life is so nice. All these nice people and babies. And we had our own good purpose as the little boy, on the left, needed some good doggy contact. Well we are good at that!
Off we go back to the car. Betty has such a nice smile.
The trip back was great. We knew what a car was now and could relax and enjoy.

And this little piggy climbed up the stairs!!!
Can you imagine the surprise on Suzanne’s face when she came to my cries of help? Well it was huge!!! Being the mean person she is she left me on the stairs crying so she could get her camera and take a photo of my plight….
I could not get down myself much to the relief of the mean human. Rowi and Kiwi were of no help at all!

Today we took Dotjes puppies into our small town shopping center to get used to the rest of the world. Unfortunatly Im at work at the moment and cant show you some of the hopefully nice photos I made. But I can show you a photo that one of the "helpers" made when the puppies were in the garden.
Rather a classic photo from the 1900's when all the family pose nicly and dont smile. I think I still have a one much like this one of my grandparents and there little daughter (now my mother) LOL

“The things I have to do…. Hurry up and take your silly photo so I can shake this ridicules thing off my head!” (Vaglie)

I just found out that I can publish films in the diary!!!!

Here is the last of 3, below is 2 and 1.

Have fun watching!!!

The girls beating up The Boss
The big girls don’t walk on the ground these days… wonder why?
This is how I begin my mornings. Aprox. 07.00 I rush down stairs with Dotje, open up the whelping box full of yelling puppies, rush though the house to the back garden with pups and Dotje in tow. Each day more pups make it into the garden before they relive themselves. Its so cute. Then they drink from mama. Feeding done they all go their own way to wee (again) and pooh…..
In the mean time Vaglie jumps into her whelping box, feeds her pups and jumps out again when she thinks its enough. I pick up all the pups in groups of 2/3 and put them outside with their also well feed older half brothers and sisters and they also wee and pooh like good little dogs.
Finally I let them all back in. A wave of puppies rushing in, truly an amazing sight! They can play around for a short time and I can cuddle each before I put them back to bed to sleep.
Then I also go back to bed. In my “normal” life I work in the evenings/nights so 07.00 in the morning is kind of unnatural for me LOL. But I love every minute of this unnatural life!

Same from a lower postition.
Who’s popular?
Little Arrow announcing that Rowi is perhaps and even better “play aunt” than Kiwi!!!

Ahhhh my little pups arent so little any more.

It’s a chose between milk or chicken today… Everyone has their own preferences.
Auntie Kiwi and Tre.

“Pffffffffffffff tell you what, this is a hard job. And you try keeping your good figure with 8 children giving gravity a helping hand!”

Vaglies 3 boys
Mr Brown looking like a little angel. He is such a sweet boy.
George looking rather serious. He is such a cute and dapper little man.
And this is Vaglies 3rd son Yellow. Anyone meeting him has to smile. He has a sort of sweet droopy charm.
Next sunny day I'll try my luck at Dots boys. Thankfully only 2 and believe me thats a lot when it comes to making puppy photos! My photos are usually lucky shots, trying to actually take planned photos is a very silly thing to try to do with pups ;-)

Snif, snif, snif.... hurry, hurry, hurry.....

Just a quick update to say the pups are doing GREAT!!!
Lack of time and energy have prevented me to do much diary duties but things will get better soon.

Personal photos of each puppy are now to be seen in the English version of “Dotje” and “Vaglie” under the option “First litter”!!!!!

Today was the first time we "Dot pups" were given the chance to leave our whelping box in our own time. Us girls sent one of the boys out first to check out for danger.

Ok get out of the way, us girls cant stand waiting any more! HERE WE COME WORLD!!!
Kiwi was surprised to see us puppies everywhere!

She quickly came down to play and enjoy us. We love you auntie Kiwi xxx
Zanna gave us an encouraging pat on the head.
Zanna must be getting a little hard of hearing. She couldn’t understand our soft spoken brother “whisper your name again” she asked him.
Once our whelping box was cleaned and we were all tired and put to bed Vaglies puppies were placed out so Suzanne could clean their whelping box. Hahaha, they are such babies, we can walk out ourselves now :-p
But they seem to be catching up with us quickly. Look at them walk!
Auntie Rowi is so busy keeping an eye on all of us.As if our day wasn’t exciting enough we were given a chicken carcass for the first time to “chew” on. WOW IT WAS GOOD!!!! We will spare you the grubby face photos but believe us it was so yummy even though we haven’t teeth yet. The practice is enjoyable enough and we can lick the taste of in an expert way.

Oh yeah we also got a nice colored crackly paper bag to frighten us. Pfff piece of cake, wont fall for that trick again.

Whatever obstacles you face today, I hope they can be solved this easily!

Dotjes pups outside of the whelping box while I clean it. They usually all stay nicely on their mat but that won't be for much longer. All the dogs take the opportunity to get to know the pups better during these cleaning times.

"Vaglie you put it in the front side and I'll take care of the backside"
'Errrrrrrrrrrr hello world.. my name is Tree. Nice to meet you all"
