10/22/20 Pupdate

If you notice that I posted yesterday’s pupdate at 2 am, that’s not because the puppies woke me but I’d set an alarm to feed the PhoenoMama. I had a little trouble going to sleep and then going back to sleep but the puppies were nice and quiet. After she finsihed feeding the puppies about 5:30, Phoebe sat by me and demanded scratches (just right or she bitch slaps me). Then she moved over to the couch annexed to the ottobenbed (finally, all 4 of them aren’t insisting on lying on it with me the whole night) but apparently, she used that time to ‘hunt’ because she sounded the alarm about something she saw and the 3 younger dogs proceeded to bark and then go out the dog door to bark some more. I think it was a cat judging by the cameras about that time. The puppies sleep through that nonsense, too. I should learn to be like a puppy ;-)

The puppies are getting more and more active during their awake times, well when they aren’t nursing. I witnesses actual play between 2 different set of them more than once today (bitey mouth starts early in PWDs and it’s beyond ADORABLE!) and they are starting to mouth people, too. I don’t think I feel any teeth coming in but it’s pretty early for that.

Today, I put the crinkly octopus toy in with them today and they are all over that. So was their mama during several of the feeding sessions. During one of them, I was sitting in the pen on the stool when she cam in to feed them. Several of the puppies were using my foot as leverage to get a good position.

Aunt Cindi came by today before she went to set up for the FastCat trial. (Deja and Caly were entered - he’d have finished his title in the first run tomorrow but I just can’t risk it with puppies). She got to see the little monsters playing bitey mouth and attempting to come over the ferret fence. They can get their elbows up and over and they are doing it with intent. If they had little tin cups, they’d be rattling them on the bars ;-). I guess I’ll be redoing their area again very soon.

I missed cuddling puppies during a zoom meeting for the Movers and Shakers PWD Club of the Carolina’s so I’m going to makeup for some of that now. Nighty, nighty, nighty - puppy breath to all!

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!
