As my nephew used to say when asked what he’d done that day: “played and played and took a nap.” That’s what the puppies did that today except they took multiple naps ;-)
Words of wisdom when feeding sleeping puppies, one should wake the puppies BEFORE putting the puppy flying sauce down. This morning, I put it down and then called them. They came flying to me like the good wee ones they are but several of them also came right through the dish. It didn’t phase them at all and my clothes are washable. Plus they are some of the cutest little things ever.
Last night, one of the puppies was having a little trouble settling in for nighty, nighty, nighty when everyone else went to sleep. I was giving it a minute to see if they could self soothe before helping. Deja was in his spot (curled up as the little spoon) but he got up. I thought it was because he thought I was getting up (he somehow knows from an apparently sound sleep whether I am turning vs getting up ) but after a couple of minutes he hadn’t assumed the position again so I checked. He had gotten down and was lying right next to the ex pen and the puppy was lying pressed to the other side of it. Such a sweet GrandPaw!
I’ve started leaving the spoon in the dish so the puppies learn not to mind metal in their mouth. And somehow, sleepy puppies managed to convince me to offer them bites from a spoon. It IS pretty cute to have them eating from a spoon (they did also all eat from the dish.)
The latest cutest thing ever is a puppy climbing up into my lap after eating themself completely full and cuddling in for a post prandial nap. They are so snuggly under normal circumstances but when they are the ones seeking me out for a cuddle, it’s even sweeter. I am enamoured in case it isn’t obvious.
Teeth are coming in and there is lots of gnawing on everything they come across. They are starting to assume the PWD sleeping positions of appendages sticking through the holes of the ex pen and using their front paws to smack at one another or us (granted that is much cuter when they are tiny than when they are full grown and smacking you in the face in bed)
Can’t wait to see how they will manage to become even more adorable tomorrow! Nighty, nighty, nighty, Puppy breath to all!
