Another good night in the crates. Even faster settling in after the 3 songs (it is 4 songs now but after 16 years, it’s the 3 songs to me). When I was awake at almost 4, before I went back to sleep I heard a puppy squeak once but it went right back to sleep. I took Great GrammieSammie out BEFORE I barricaded the dog door, then I woke the puppies up and let them outside. Once again - no accidents in the crates overnight.
It started raining right after I put the puppies to bed last night and was raining again (still?) when I let them out this am. They didn’t mind but it was too cold to let them stay outside very long after they were very wet.
They ate lunch in individual bowls in separate crates so they could have their first heartworm pill (and only theirs. I didn’t want to risk somone getting mulitples and another not getting any - and that includes the big dogs who were VERY interested in the individual meatballs they got. Then we went outside for a few minutes to potty and I brought them back inside because it is wet and cold. So far, it hasn’t turned into snow but it they should get to see some of it tonight or tomorrow am.
Afternoon playtime was in the plan and it’s quite boisterous (not to mention loud!) Apparently, these puppies also believe that the elevated bed is a great place to play. Especially fun is playing bitey face with a puppy on top and another underneath. Kind of like when one of them goes inside the crate and they trash talk each other through the ‘barrier’. This game immediately ceases when either moves to where there is no divider between them. It’s really amusing and it must be a lot of fun since every litter of puppies does it.
The crinkly cat tunnel continues to be big fun and the big blue toddler wobbley thing is popular as well. It sounds like an earthquake though, they rock it pretty hard!
It’s gotten colder and the rain turned to slushy stuff but not enough to truly call snow and therefore no reason to run the pupsters out to try to play. We’ll go out for last call but we’ve spent the evening inside.
Tomorrow we ride ride ride all day to get their eyes checked and then back home. I’m pretty sure it’ll be another day that is a lot more tiring for the humans than the pupsters but they each ahve 6 littermates to play with when we are too tired. .They are also always up for a cuddle so it’s always a nice day by the puppy pen - although it’s pretty sad when they start leaving so I won’t think about that. Nighty, nighty, nighty. Puppy breath to all!
