And
Pink! has gone over the wall. I’m not
sure but I might’ve heard one say, “Mrs. Wetherholt, Tear down this wall!” So far she’s the only one but I guess it’s
really time to redo the puppy pen. I
think this might be earlier than the other litters but I’m not sure. It may be that with ten of them, there is more
of an opportunity to make a pyramid to assist with wall climbing.
At any
rate, I cleaned and steamed the floor on their side of the rubber room. and
steamed 4 of the pieces of flooring. and put the plastic on the floor and up
their wall. and put down their floor.
And set up the ex pens. No wonder
I was sore and tired. It keeps raining
on and off here so I think I’ve had some barometric issues as well. The result was Bruce spent one more night
with the dogs because he knew I wouldn’t rest with the monitor last night.
All of
the puppies are opening their eyes at least a little, I think. Maybe Colleen will come to take pictures
soon. They only hold still during a post
prandial nap
Doodlebug’s
caloric intake needs to increase again.
We are now up to 5,709. I don’t
know how we are going to accomplish this.
Poor baby is going to have to eat constantly. She’s been pretty interested in food
though. Last night, I put her middle of the
night bites in the ex pen right after I fed her the midnight snack and she ate
them right away. No wonder she had to go
out in the night. She is alternating
between some actually good poop and some less good but not liquid. I think the pumpkin is helping. Or maybe it is because she doesn’t want to go
out and get her feet wet so she holds it longer. It’s not diarrhea, it’s just loose poop (a
distinction that maybe only dog people make.)
According
to Iffen, it is 39 degrees at Lake Geneva right now but supposed to warm up to
70. Low in the 40s tonight. I hope the people practicing the swim with
handler have wetsuits or get to go in the afternoon or some combination thereof. At least in the trials, swim with handler is
last so you’re very close to passing if you get to that point. I think that and Julie’s wetsuit might be to
only things that got me through the apprentice swim with Jack and Rend Lake
when it was so cold.
All of
ya’ll at the Specialty, have some extra fun for me.
I have a great Xcel 4/3 wetsuit that I wear to kiteboard :) They should hold a water trial in the OBX (Movers and Shakers?) - the sound would be perfect, and I could kite before and after! lol.
