On the Road

We left Michigan a week ago and what a week it’s been! Nursing one puppy who just didn’t seem to get to the nipple fast enough. (We have eight puppies and Lily has seven nipples). Caring for all the other dogs. Etc. Etc.

Then the trip: First was all the packing. Then the prep work on the motor home. Then the packing…for two adults and 15 dogs!

Then the unpacking four days later. Cleaning and dusting off the house. Setting up the porch/dog room with puppy pen, dog crates, etc.

We are exhausted to say the least. But all went well … better than we expected. So no complaints.

First Days of Playtime

Lily’s puppies will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. Below is a link to a video I took last Friday.

The video is too long to include in this post. But if you copy the link (MINUS THE PERIOD AT THE END) and paste it in your browser, you can watch it on You tube.

It shows them beginning to play with each other, snuggle and wobble on their little legs.  The best!!

 

Our Eyes Are Beginning to Open!!

This is when the fun begins! The puppies are moving around a lot now and all but one have eyes at least partially open! They are also making fun coos and chirps…almost like little birds. Please click “MORE” to see photos of each pup at two weeks.
