Brotherly love....
Daisy’s pups are now spending more time awake and interacting with our family – which is the beginning of my favourite time in puppy development. They are such cute little babies and it is so entertaining to watch how they play with each other and explore the world around them. It would be easy to spend the whole day with them they are so adorable at this age !!
Daisy continues to be an excellent mum although she seldom stays in the whelping box with them for long outside of mealtime as it is just too crowded in there at the moment. She usually prefers to stay perched just outside the puppies’ play/sleep area and now joins us regularly on our walks which she always looks forward to. In the next 10 days we will look to move the pups to a bigger area with more toys and space as they become more active and mobile.
The pups still spend a good portion of the day sleeping and can be found in the strangest positions – either entangled around a sibling or snuggled under a stuffed toy. The pups are all gaining and growing well although mealtime has taken on a bit of a different look as Daisy usually stands now so the puppies can all reach her easily without being crowded out by each other. It gives a whole new meaning to the expression “meals on wheels” !!
The pups will continue to gain more awareness of the world around them and we look forward to this next interesting week of their development.
