Oct 2011 to Jan 2012

Where has the time gone. The pups are practically 6 months old, three of the boys are weighing in heavier than Snoop with Blaze being the lightest at 19.50kg and Flash being 22.55kg and the other two boys over 23kg (Snoop is 22.45kg). Flash has certainly done alot of growing and is just approaching Snoop's height. From what the others have told me they are also just as big. All have been busy with training, socialising and just having so much fun. Below are some pictures of Alfie, Scraps and Jesse. Naughty me, I keep forgetting to get the camera out but I promise to shortly. Alfie Jesse Scraps

pups 7-9 weeks old

Here is an update from the pups over the past few weeks and some photos for you to enjoy. All are doing very well and being miss greatly by me. Alfie update from Adam- well where to start, Alfie on the first night screamed all night he would stop and start, after the first night he has been great he goes to bed at half nine and gets up at 6.45. Well be tells us lol he moans at that time every morning if you don't but not loads. He eats every meal which I am very happy about. He has a favourite toy a duck I think its bit of a comfort toy for him and loves to bite. He has this dental bone he likes but keeps loosing it under the chair, he has not got the hang of trying to hold it with his paws. He has learnt to sit and just getting there on the lay down. He had the mop out the other day and he was running around it which was not helping because he was getting himself wet from his water bowl. On 29/9/11 Alfie was 6.20kg. Jesse update from Ann - Well we have survived a week. A bit battle scarred (not literally) and weary. Jesse should be renamed the Energiser Bunny!! Her batteries rarely run down. She spent 2 hours rampaging round our living room last night, into everything that was within reach and that is now a lot. She has a water fetish. Loves pawing at it and splashing it everywhere. She gets under the chairs and bites at anything that is remotely loose, good job they are old chairs, tears up any paper she can find, chews absolutely anything that will fit in her mouth. Thank goodness for puppy crates, don't think we would cope without one. Fortunately she is quite happy to go away when she has a good run round so the others get some peace. We don't allow her to climb stairs and I thought they were too steep for her at the moment anyway but Michael took the tea tray up yesterday and didn't close the gate behind him. I heard a galumphing noise and went looking to find she had followed him straight up. Quite a climb!! She followed that up later by jumping onto a footstool then from that to a chair. Very neat about it she was too!! We have an old round table in our dining room, it has a central pedestal with a sloping base to 3 claw feet. One of her favourite games is to get onto the base and slide down it. She also gnaws the feet, which have already been re-modelled by various family dogs over the last 70 years. On 23/9/11 Star was 5.64kg. Flash - He came to my house at 7.5 weeks old and has been clean from the first night. He did whine about an hour after putting him to bed for the first couple of nights, but now Snoop (Dad) sleeps in the kitchen with him and we hear nothing. He has a few favourite games, play fighting with Blaze; running around as fast as he can with the loudest toy in his mouth; bouncing from bed to bed (I have three dog beds in the lounge behind the sofa). I lost him the other day only to find him in the kennel on the decking bouncing around on the beds in there. He loves pigs ears and carrots (got that from his dad). He also loves pawing water bowls. I have started all the basics with him and was quite surprised what we can already start to do: sit, lay down, come, stay (about 5 secs at the moment and 5feet away), heel (on and off lead), right and left turn and twists, fetch, roll over, paw, and target. He has come to training and various places with me over the past couple of weeks and loves meeting people especially if they have treats on them. on 1/10/11 Flash was 7.65kg and don't I know it when I carry him around. Flash and Blaze Blaze - Is the only one who hasn't moved homes as he stopped where he was at my mum and dad's. When the three pups left at seven weeks, my mum put a crate in the pen to get Blaze used to being in it, things were fine, even after Flash came to my home, until they moved the crate the other day (as they removed the whelping pen), Blaze then screamed the house down all night. His training is coming along very well. On 1/10/11 Blaze was 7.28kg. Scraps update from Steph- Still waiting on photos, but have been informed he has settled in very well. Scraps screamed the first couple of night. He has found a new best friend in her mum's dog Kia, and loves chasing him. Training is coming along. Scraps is afraid of the dark. On 24/9/11 Scraps was 6.65kg.
