Thursday February 1st 2007



Well it has been a busy couple of weeks. I have returned to work leaving Schatzi to care for her babies all on her own. Naturally she is doing just fine.

The babies are 3 weeks old now. They have completed their Early Neurological Stimulation and have had their first worming treatment. The puppies eyes opened about a week ago and they began to be able to hear about 4 days ago. They are now exploring everything and getting into all kinds of mischief. They have now had two trips into the yard to experience the grass beneath their paws.


The pups had their first try of real food today and jumped in with gusto. It wont be long before they start some basic training work.


The puppies have also been undergoing some early desensitisation to scary noises. While playing and feeding I have been playing them a CD of loud, scary noises like thunder and fireworks.
