4 weeks old last Tuesday - can't believe how quickly that has gone
Ours have officially taken over the sitting room now, the puppy pen takes up nearly 1/3 -1/2 of the room. They went out in the garden today while I was cleaning up the poo fest that was their sleeping area - my thought was, feed 'em, water 'em they'll poo in the garden much nicer smell in the house as a result; huh! fat chance outside for about 4.5hrs and not a poo in sight, back in the house and about 1/2hr and guess what! little b****ers.
They are very active now and jump around pouncing on each other and the toys I have put in the pen with them, carry around the empty carboard tubes, play tuggy with the soft toys etc.
Am trying to work out a feeding regime but haven't quite got it sussed, I don't think the mum is feeding them much at the moment but then tonight she squished herself into the small cage I've put in the pen and fed all 6 - this is a really small puppy sized cage
Here they are in the garden, the dog with the dark nose is their half brother, the one with the white flash is their mother

They are developing their characters now and I think we've managed to chose the one with the largest personality
but they are a huge pleasure and I hope they will bring their new owners a lot of joy
