Oh boy has this week been fun to observe the growth of the pups! They have had some 'free time' on the pads that are on the tile floor and I watch them wiggle here and there. I don't want them on the tile yet, as their foot pads lack traction and they slip.
Now that they recognize my voice, I get a bunch of wagging tails when I am with them. They are beginning to play with each other for very short periods but still nap most of the day.
I continue to offer a bowl of milk gruel twice a day - morning and evening and they are lapping it up but not eagerly. Soon, that bowl will become 'the be all to end all' and once that happens, I begin to reduce Jonnie's portions and increase theirs for the eventual weaning process.
Now is the time to contact me about visiting the pups. I am available most days and weekends. You are limited to about a half hour with them as they tire easily. Once pups are settled back in their pen, I am happy to answer your questions in the kitchen area. Our adult doodles would definitely enjoy your company and attention as we talk. I limit each day to only three visits. Shoes need to be left at the door and hands washed. PLEASE make it a direct route from your house to mine. Any place you stop at can be a health issue to the pups as they have no immunity at this young age.
Enjoy the pics! Notations are this weeks' observations - all subject to change in a blink! :+)
