The seven pups are really finding their feet now, and have just experienced the outdoors for the first time. With the short days it’s not as easy to get them out during the week, but weather dependent should manage more. Very difficult to keep track of seven pups all running in opposite directions though!

We have found six excellent homes for six pups now. One girl left and the pressure is on at home to keep her. It’s not an easy choice as despite being another mouth to feed, walk and pick up poop, we have been lucky enough to have them from day zero and they are very much part of the family already. Watch this space…!

All are still gaining weight, though the order of large to small has changed a little, but not too significantly I don’t think. It’s a full time job just to keep on top of keeping the cage clean and mopping up after them, but it’ll not be forever.

Millie is now seeing them less except for milk-time and the pups are enjoying their own time far more. It’s nice to watch, and Millie is even starting to play with the pups too. Alfie is tolerating them and just puzzled by their persistence despite him barking at them sometimes!

Outside on the grass at last.

Picture says it all!

Eating well and enjoyed the morning air.
