It appears this didn't post yesterday so I am trying again. No idea how to get it in the right order.
Good morning, good monring the little pups say. They sweetly greet anyone who turns up and it's extremely adorable. They have started popping their little heads up on the top of the ferret ex pen to say hello. Cute as that is, I try really hard not to reward it. We are working on sitting for petting and picking up. They are catching on pretty quickly with just a little scratch under their chin if they aren't already sitting. It's harder to reward quickly enough when they are all over there though.
While Dog Cindi and Debbie were here this evening, I had them wrangle puppies while I changed out their linens and added the big potty pan. I added paper and they began playing with it quite quickly like the PWDs they are. They didn't all immediately catch on to pottying in it but some did. And so far, that's been the only place they've pooped.
It's pretty warm so they are choosing to sleep off of the fleece most of the time. I rearranged it a little bit to make it easier for them.
They nurse pretty quickly these days, I suspect it won't be long before they are ready for me to start feeding them but I do plan to wait for teeth or the old bitches to hurl for them.
It was warm today but pretty windy, too. I wasn't comfortable taking them outside in that. Don't want anything scary happening to them.
I missed my nap again today so I'm going to try to do some pre-sleeping. Puppies have been doing lots of pre-sleeping again today ;-)

April 1, 2015 Pupdate
The baby dogs are 2 months old now since they were born in March and this is April right? That's the best I can do for April Fool's Day
The real report: They were good little puppies again today. They are happy to see me whenever they do. They watched me clean some today (the casters on the couches make it SO much easier to do the floor) and slept some while I celaned as well.
And then, when I was ready to clean their pen, I took them out onto the deck. The Mama, Aunt, and Mama's Mama all went out to look after them. The girls took turns going out into the yard or coming back in to check on me but at least one of them was always out with the puppies.
I was in and out with them whch obviously made it take longer but I didn't want anything bad to happen on their first trip outside. When I was done, I went out with them and sat down and let them find me for a cuddle. They all took me up on that offer. Then we came back into the house. Fortunately, none of them had a potty accident on the way back in since I let them follow me (and the big dogs). Vespa and Mayor Bumble were the last two to come inside with me. They were busy with stuff the encountered along the way (a leaf and a toy). Most of them made it all of the way to the pen. Such good puppies!
I mixed up some formula for them today. I wanted it to be ready to mix with meat when they are ready to start eating (teeth or the old bitches hurling for them, whichever comes first.
They met 2 more children today and another new human. The boys were very good with them if reluctant to make loud noises but the younger one did make a valiant attempt to play the pvc dangly pieces on the jungle gym thing. And we have more new visitors coming tomorrow. It's a good thing the puppies don't have much in the way of teeth yet because they are definitely interested in gnawing on whoever is in range. The puppies were also VERY interested in climbing up into their laps.
We need to rest up for tomorrow. So we'll send some virtual puppy breath to all and say Nighty, nighty, nighty a little earlier tonight.
