5/6/18 Pupdate

5/6/18 Pupdate
Happy 8th Birthday to our Magic Trick litter (Jilly and Boo)! The puppies hope their great aunts and uncles were appropriately spoiled.
9 puppies is a LOT for one potty pan. It POURED rain most of yesterday and last night (and yet we didn’t get a real storm for them to hear) so I didn’t take them outside at the late feeding. They all went in the pan but the alfalfa all had to be dumped out when I cleaned this morning. They weren’t thrilled with me not taking them outside to potty but the rain didn’t lessen and we’d (mostly me) been soaked enough.
It continued this morning so after they had breakfast and I took them out to potty, I put them on the side porch and deck so they could stay a little drier while I cleaned out their pen. This afternoon, it finally cleared up and we got to enjoy the sunshine and lack of rain. Their mama’s double chair finally even dried.
We had visitors today and the puppies interacted (generally with open mouths); played iwth toys and each other and sacked out. They are sleeping less and playing more, a sign they are growing up I guess. Not certain I am ready for that.
A few different puppies have intentionally interacted with the buzzer toys. It’s not the same puppy or the same buzzer but they do seem to prefer the one that sounds like they are playing video games. GrammieSammie has Easy buttons in english and spanish so I could do directionals with her and know if she had gone to the right spot, we have a lot more choices now. I’m not sure which Fenzi class used these (I heard these mentioned on one of the facebook groups so it’s probably a class in my library) but I’m glad someone posted the link because they are great for this too.
GrammieSammie and Caly have started telling the puppies that it’s not ok to bite the big dogs. They tell each other when they are biting too hard. I hope they get the memo soon because sometimes they get my leg a little hard (they are apparently much more gentle with my face and hands than other people though).
We have another big day tomorrow and this was another day I didn’t take a nap so I’m going to get the pupsters all settled in for the night. Puppy breath to all. Nighty nighty nighty

Visitation Protocol

I've been sending this/variations of this to people about puppy visits so I thought it might be useful information for visitors and potential owners (or entertainment for people to laugh at the crazy dog lady)

Puppies are now ready for visitors and they especially need to meet children (and men.) Just not on a day/in clothes you've worn to a shelter/dog park/around a sick dog.

If you want to prepare them for 'the rules' or our procedure:

We take off shoes (don't wear white socks because the rubber floor, even when freshly steamed can discolor white socks);

wash hands thoroughly (sing the abc song twice while we rub the soap between our hands vigorously) and

put on a smock (an old men's shirt I keep for such purposes).

Then we come quietly out into the dog room and greet the big dogs (especially the Mama so she doesn't feel like she needs to protect the babies) before we go over to see the puppies.

The puppies are in a play area and we go carefully in and sit down to let puppies come to us or an adult hand them to you. You can make lots of noise with your voice - as long as it doesn't look like it worries the mama dog (probably wait until after you've been here for a little while).

When you are ready to get out, tell us and an adult will help you (don't want to trip over a puppy and hurt you or it). They have some neat toys that you can help show them but remember they are BABIES so they are fragile (careful, quiet hands and feet but we will want you to make some loud, funny, or silly noises for them eventually.)

You might want to remind them I can't see so they need to use words (I can't hear them shake or nod their head),

Thanks!
