Pup Life
The puppies are zooming along as they grow! Yesterday Austin‘s mom Lisa came to visit, they were very happy to meet her and chewed on her toes and fingers and ears and anything else they could reach (their teeth are almost all the way in now, including their FANGS). Nina was very relaxed about it, although Tish and Rakki cried pitifully that they weren’t allowed in to visit with her (even though she’d spent quite a while visiting with them earlier).
Weigh-ins (it is getting harder to weigh them accurately since they are SO active, so these are ballparks):
- Austin (yellow): 1485 grams or 3.27 pounds
- Beals (gray): 1165 grams or 2.57 pounds
- Connelly (blue): 1209 grams or 2.67 pounds
- Donnelly (orange): 1310 grams or 2.89 pounds
- Esposito (dark brown): 1315 grams or 2.9 pounds
And this morning Connelly (blue collar) escaped out of the puppy ROOM! I’d let them out of the pen to play while I cleaned the box, and I heard Rakki and Tish barking, I turned around and little blue collar boy had squished himself through the baby gate and was happily toddling off into the wild blue yonder living room! Tish was ecstatically play bowing at him and trying to get him to zoom with her, Rakki was tattling on him. STINKER! They are getting close to climbing out of the box even with the big wall up, so I think the next step is going to be moving the big pen in here, it has higher walls and also a lip at the top to help prevent escapes. I feel like a prison warden here!
I fed them a breakfast (gotta eat a breakfast Margie!) today, and they will get a dinner too.
Also: we have an AKC litter registration number!
