Remy and Kwill puppies 7 weeks

 

   


             This has been one of the busiest weeks for the puppies yet. First off, Kwill has just about completely weaned them. They are eating 2 meals a day with yogurt and then free choice dry kibble at all times. They are all gaining weight, playing at every opportunity ... yes, we are awakened by the pitter patter of tiny feet and puppy growls at 5 am :-)! The bunny hopping is all gone and we have some nice moving  puppies!

         The week began with first vaccines, moved on to puppy temperament testing and ended with a romp out in the sheep pen!

Sheep?  I knew I smelled something.....

I smell them too!

Puppy testing went well and all puppies tested just about how we thought they would. They enjoyed meeting all their new friends and the time they spent playing afterward. They ran all over the matted area at the Planet canine in Elkhart. They were quite bold and soon began to investigate every corner.

At this point they were all happy to come bounding back when called, not yet wanting to cut the apron strings.....
 They were very impressive ...all 8 running back to us ........

The next day we went outside.......

and played...........

                                                                                  

And they began to explore their boundaries.......

and then it began to happen......the fence has puppy portals.....

and we began to notice escapees..............

                  And we tried to call them back......... but they ran in the opposite direction.......

               Our well behaved puppies had turned into independent little brats over night....

             over confident...they continued to explore

 Suddenly they started to pop back through the portals....

 

 the sheep are coming and they are huge!!

 Some were running as fast as their Little legs would carry them.......

 Then Zip and Tip sounded the alarm.......

     Yep....yeah gotta watch out for those sheep....the large ones will get you every time........
