Play time! Week 6 and the puppies are spending a lot of time outdoors playing. The past couple of days have been relatively dry so they have been able to have a good romp. They are exploring different toys, some hard for chewing, tug toys and balls. They have reduced to four main meals a day, with ad-hoc top ups from Lily - but she doesn't hang around long now as their teeth are sharp. They are sleeping well through the night, from 10.30pm through to about 6am typically. Meals at 6am, 12 noon, 5pm and 10pm. Today the whelping box was dismantled and placed back into storage for another time. The pups are sleeping in a proper bed now with a larger area to roam. They are all very good at going outside to do their business, and it is great coming down in the mornings to no mess. They go straight outside when they wake, perform and then have their breakfast. Mrs B. has been keeping a keen eye on their no. 2s and checking for the right consistency. A delivery arrived from Skinners today - wonder what's in the box. Only a couple of weeks now before Arthur, Bailey and Jeffrey leave us to go with their new owners. More photos
