Day 28

Dad Locked us in Jail while he cleaned out our pen.. HOW RUDE!

We protested loud & clear!

Our 2 legged mum checked our mouths...we have HEAPS of pointy little sharp teeth now!

Day 26

We don't have good news to report today.

Late last night Puppy 1 - Male was taken to the emergency vet centre here and we are heartbroken to report that he has gone to the rainbow bridge.

At this time we do not know what the cause is, we have arranged a post mortum and we will report more details, when and if they come to hand.

This is one of the hardest parts of being a breeder.

We shed our tears and try to move on. It has been a very long day today.

PLAY TIME - Time for our early evening sillies!

A true keeshond.... to PLAY or to EAT... this is the question!

Food usually ALWAYS wins out!

Day 22

It's moving day for us! our 2 legged mom decided that we are getting very messy in our box, so decided that it is time for us to begin to learn proper "potty"

Etiquette.

We now have a lovely large pen to play in, and a crate to sleep in.

It will take some getting used to, but we'll get there!

This is our new bed!

This is where we start our crate training, a crate is just like a "den" and we soon learn that it is a place where we can go to rest and feel safe.

For the rest of our lives we will like the security of a crate and no matter where we go, if we have our crate with us, we also have our home!

Kinda scary coming out for the first time!

Day 20

We are really changing! We can hear very well now and our eyes are completely open! We respond to our 2 legged Mum and Dads voices!

Our 2 legged Mum, works from home, but had to go out to a meeting today and FORGOT to bring our MUM inside...... she was away from us for a few hours. This will explain our little bit of weight loss today. OUR 2 legged mum just about died when she realized what she had done! We make her feel very guilty! But we'll be just fine! We were sleeping quietly when she got back home!

Sleeping after our BIG outing adventure!

Our first stroll outside the whelping box! We didn't mind for the first few seconds then started "singing"! The floor is a bit slippery for fuzzy baby feets!

Puppy 4 - Female not afraid of anything! Cruised around the kitchen area like an ole pro!

Toys were introduced into the whelping box today and seems to be accepted!
