A tiny puppy paw |
We lost the electricity tonight due to
the "roaring" high winds (68 mph) and rain
which caused the snow in the trees to become heavy. Branches and trees were
falling all around. Definitely not a night to want to walk poor Rory.
However......... !
The newly purchased generator came to our rescue after waiting an hour and
having
the indoor temperature start to drop in the puppies' room (our bedroom).

FEBRUARY 28, 2010: Day 6
Due to school vacation and visiting their
"other" grandparents, two of our grandsons
were a few days late in handling the new puppies. Our other two
grandchildren, who
were home, had been around a shelter dog for over 24 hours so we "held back"
in letting
them handle the puppies right away, too.
However, Nate and Nicky came over today and here are a few pictures of the
puppies
being handled ever so gently by young children at 6 days of age:
 |
 |
|
"Ooooooooooooh, new puppies !" |
Nicky

Nate, older & more "experienced", holds this
pup with much confidence. |
She's quite comfortable in these hands |
**Note: Many of the pups are starting to show
black lip edges and a grayish shade
of skin starting in the whisker area as well as the front of the lips
and nose.
Many PPP's have gray skin under their wire hair/coat.

MARCH 12, 2010: Day 18
The puppies have started to "wobble-walk" now -
that is, they stand on their front
legs and work at getting up onto their back legs and move forward. Sometimes
they
end up moving backwards more easily than forward.
Also, all of their eyes are open and they are starting to see the world
around them.
Mostly, though, they are nursing and sleeping many hours a day.
 |
 |
|
Rory often sits up to give the puppies room
to nurse. |

not diminished her hunting desire at all !

***Journal notes:
** Lead training each puppy individually - walking around agility
yard,
across driveway, through garden area, up woods road, through short
woods path, and back to pen. Many different surfaces and surroundings
(and smells !!).
** Pups eating on regular schedule (3X per day) and are "pottying"
mostly on the "pee pads" or old towels (for this purpose), so
"house-breaking"/"potty" training can begin in earnest.
** It appears that Natcho and Dahlia are wires; Dora and Ivana are
smooths. All 4 puppies have very hard coat
textures !

steadily into the puppies'

forest !!!

SEPTEMBER 6, 2010
Much time has passed since we last "journaled",
and we have had an extremely busy
summer. The 3 "girls" are still with us and we continue to look for
the "right" homes
for them.
All 3 are now "housebroken"; all 3 are crate trained; all 3 have received
all of their
inoculations - including their 2 Lyme boosters; all 3 are microchipped; and
all 3 continue
to be socialized.
I've also been working with them in a low key, "fun" way in "beginner"
agility work -
which includes some basic obedience training. Each pup attends formal
agility class
every 3rd week and I keep the other two "up to date" at home in our own
agility
yard. They thrive on the activity as well as the individual
attention.
Below are some up-to-date still pictures of "the girls" at 6 months of age.
AUGUST 23, 2010

Isadora da Floresta - better |
known as "Dora" |
 |
 |
|
Ivana da Floresta - known |
as
"Ivana" (and sometimes as "Minnie Mouse") |
 |
|
Idalia da Floresta - better known as "Dahlia" |
We'd also
like to share some videos with you on YouTube of these
girls working in our agility yard. They were taken on Aug. 21, 2010:
