I can’t believe that 5 weeks have passed since the pups arrived. It has just flown by.  I am taking the opportunity of 8 sleeping babies and a respite from uni work to post an update on progress.
All the pups are doing so well and have gotten so big. Average weight at the moment around 3kg, more than 6 times their birth weights. Torsa is doing a grand job. Talla has gained the nickname of Grumpy Granny. She doesn’t stray too far from the babies and keeps a grandmotherly eye out but is definitely not keen on them trying to get a sly feed from her and don’t dare go near her tail! The interactions between generations is fascinating. As an early years professional I am loving watching the puppies going through exactly the same stages as toddlers.

We were delighted that Stuart and Hilary wanted to bring Wooster through to see his babies and really pleased  that we managed to get a good family photo. I think it will be one of my all time favourites.
But then, any puppy photos are adorable.

 We’ve been so lucky with the weather and its been great to  have the pups outside playing and gaining confidence – Callum and I have decided that 5 weeks is the perfect age, but I thought that at 4, and 3, and 2, …..

Very pleased to have met all our babies new families, it is so much easier saying goodbye when we know where they are going.
The next 3 weeks are going to be even more hectic but just as much fun I think and will be over far too fast.
