Toys have been put in whelping box - although I don’t think they realise it yet!
These toys are mine.... 4 weeks
Ah, something new to play with....
I treated myself to an early Christmas present - a set of scales to make my life easier when weighing the puppies as they grow. Master Green certainly approved!
The puppies now have small coloured collars on which makes it easier to identify them. Introducing.....
Miss Lilac - Sherrie
Miss Pink - Lola
Master Blue - Brodie
Master Yellow - Freddie
Master Green - Toby
At long last the weather has improved and pups can go outside for short periods during the day
Getting inquisitive....
Miss Pink - Cuckmere Autumnal Sky
Miss Lilac - Cuckmere Autumnal Breeze
