Last
night, I set up the puppy pen so that nobody could get out of the pool and end
up behind it. If they are going over the
wall, it’s going to be out in the middle of the pen. Then we turned on the baby monitor and both
of us went upstairs to sleep in the bed.
I slept halfway decently from 11:45 to a few minutes after 2am. Bruce set his alarm to go let the MamaBug out
to potty, feed her, check water, check puppies, etc. I woke up when he got back and didn’t really
sleep after that. I think we’ll go back
to someone (him) sleeping down here with them until they are out of the pool.
Speaking
of which, I probably better get ready for the next phase of set up. I need to bring the other ex pens, crates,
etc. up to clean/sanitize to be ready for Phase whatever number it will
be. That’s exciting because I can start
putting toys and things in with them when their eyes and ears open. They won’t have a shortage of siblings to
climb over/on/through but I like to add other enrichment options as well.
Hardly
anybody squalled during puppy yoga last night.
Lemony Snickett (aka Yellow) protested what she considered a series of unfortunate
events but she got over it pretty quickly.
I adjusted everyone’s collar again and only had one mishap with a leg
through the collar. I pulled it off and
corrected it pretty quickly, those Velcro collars are at least quick and easy
to readjust.
I
noticed today that there is a little reflection in the corners of some of their
eyes so we are on the way to opening.
When they have their eyes open, I can get in the puppy pen and let them
roam all over me. I am reluctant to try
to lie down and navigate getting back up with 10 puppies and none of seeing
worth anything. I’d hate to squish any
of them. I have been snuggling individual
puppies and had head and shoulders in the pool with them a lot so I am not
exactly deprived. They’ve also been
getting up on all four feet and walking around.
Since their eyes aren’t open yet, I feel like they all should have
little white canes.
I
put pumpkin in the Mama’s latest meals and that is helping with the less than
good poop she’s been having. Hopefully,
I will remember to add it sooner next time we have a boatload of puppies.
We
had a weight watchers meeting and we have 17 pounds of puppies on the bathroom
scales. There is a little variation but that’s
close enough for government work. At
least 2 puppies weigh 2 or more pounds and a third weighs close and over
depending on how much he wriggles in the weighing bucket. Big Blue the Behemoth is the heaviest and largest,
closely followed by the Red girl and Orange.
Dyson is still steadily gaining.
(Dyson is the tan puppy. He never
loses suction once he is latched on, whether it’s on his mama or my finger.)
I
think that’s all for now. I’m going to
finish putting everything back (tonight was floor steaming night) and go
nighty, nighty, nighty. Sending puppy
breath dreams to all of you…
