We’ve been busy little pupsters! More of us are getting teeth and those of us with teeth yesterday are poking more through. They are much more coordinated than they were, too. They are still plenty vocal.
Dog Cindi came today to groom the big dogs (they needed butts and muzzles shaved and it’s good for the puppies to be around it). While she was here to cuddle the puppies, I extended their pen a couple more panels and then changed out part of their linens. They were a little too helpful as puppies are wont to be but I needed to do it. I’d already waited until after the grooming (the hair tends to go everywhere so there’s no point doing it and redoing it a few hours later before the washer has even had time to finish the first set). Phoebe was feeding them and Cindi was sitting with her but that wasn’t quite enough to keep them from helping. Of course, Phoebe wanted to help, too so that was a contributing factor.
Eventually, I managed to get the fleece out without any puppies in it (we counted them, I’ve had nightmares about having puppies in the laundry) and put the new piece down but that was difficult as well with all of the help. I did notice that they can actually maintain their balance on the blue flooring now, too. Then I put in some new toys (plus the v tech piano toy, they get that one almost every day) with them. These were smaller toys and the puppies not only interacted with them, they were carrying/dragging them around. They were also trying to grab the drawstrings on Dog Cindi’s pants, my sleeves, the hem of my shorts and top, pretty much anything they come across to put into their mouths. They are really, really cute even if they are going to be mouths full of needle teeth soon.
New things today: they play bow and at least one of them shook it off like a wet grown dog (not sure which puppy or why but Cindi saw it) and they wag their tails when they play, too. They aren’t the greatest at stalking (they try it but sometimes they lose their balance or get distracted along the way) but they still try it. They pack a LOT of activity into the little bits of the day they are awake though. And they manage to be adorable even when they aren’t.
I’m going to hold a weight watcher’s meeting, do some cuddling, feed the Mama again and we’ll all go Nighty, Nighty, Nighty. Puppy breath to all!
