No posts for ages and then 2 in the same day!!

All of the puppies have been to the vet this evening and have had a full health check.
They all passed with flying colours and enjoyed running riot in the vets.
They where weighed and I am going to worm them again this evening.
They weighed in like this
Ziggy 3.11 kg
Charlie 3.14 kg
Poppy 2.22 kg
Nelly 2.64 kg
So they have ALL grown a lot since I last wormed them.
I am looking forward to seeing you all again when you come to fetch your puppies but the house will be very quiet and calm with out them.

What a busy couple of weeks we have had.

It's a hard life being a puppy

You can't see me now!!

This is the life playing with friends

Having a cuddle and watch the fish

Of we go trouble in a trolly

Waiting to leave I wonder where we could be going ?

All of the puppies are doing REALY well and are enjoying their socialisation time, they have been for lots of rides in the car, I have taken them to sit out side Asda and watch all of the different people go by with their buggies and trolleys.

They have been shopping in Pets at Home twice now and love all of the attention they get, they sit in the trolley and bring the store to a stand still. The assistant manager has a cockerpoo called Colin so they always get an extra treat from her.

We have had lots of people round to see the puppies including all of my neighbors and family's coming to meet their puppy for the first time.

Today they are going to the vets for their health check and another chance to meet lots more people.

I have been run off my feet as my Son who has lived away from home for the last 5 years turned up on the door step saying he has come home to live now!!

Also my father is very ill and has been in hospital so I had Mum and Dad's dog Daisy to stay and have been hospital visiting, which wouldn't be a problem if the hospital wasn't over 20 miles away.

We are 5 weeks old now

The puppies are now 5 weeks old and yesterday they where weighed and wormed, they have all put on loads of weight . They didn't like the wormer but will have to put up with it as they will have to take it again today and tomorrow!!
Green circle collar (Ziggy) 2.00Kg
Blue spotted collar (Monty) 1.9Kg
Purple circle collar (Nelly) 1.8 Kg
Pink spotted collar (Petal) 1.6Kg.
I haven't been able to get them out into the garden for the last couple of days as we have had the most awful weather with driving rain and gale force winds so not ideal for puppies.
Monty had a visit from his potential new family yesterday and all of the puppies had a great time playing with the children and slept for hours once they had gone home.

Sorry,sorry sorry

This is the little bitch who is looking for a home. She's the smallest of the litter but still lots of personality. I have called her Petal.

Sorry its been so long since I last updated. I haven't been very well and then my camera got left out in the rain so we had to wait until it had dried out before I could use it again. Then I had a round trip of over 100 miles for a check up at the hospital. Hopefully I'll be able to keep you more up to date now.

The puppies are all doing well and are growing fast. They are playing more and more every day and are getting more bolder in exploring there surroundings. We have had them out in the garden the last few days and they have been really enjoying the sunshine. Fern has been having lots of fun trying to play with them even though she is a lot larger than they are.

Nelly and Monty's new owners have both been to visit us and we all had a great time playing with all of the puppies.
We are still looking for a home for the other bitch. She is the smallest of the 4 and has got a lovely temperament but she can be quite shy at times and so may be better suited to a quieter household.

I shall be posting some more videos on you tube for you all to watch soon.

My daughter shall be taking over the blog as she is on the computer a lot more than I am and so is likely to update it more often for you.

Thanks

Karen.

Wow what a lovely sunny day

Getting ready to go out to play

Love me love my brother

Come on Fern please play with me.

We have had our first escapee today, this morning at 6.30 I got up to let all of the dogs out and couldn't work out why Amber didn't comming running as normal and why there was such a racket comming from the front room, so went to investigate and found one of the puppies had escaped from the whelping box and had got himself wedged under the fire and Amber was desperately trying to get him out. He was quickly rescued with no harm done and Amber rushed out into the garden.

I have now had to raise the height of the entrance of the whelping box much to their disgust.

The puppies have been out into the garden twice today to make the most of the lovely weather we are having.

You tube

I have uploaded some more short clips onto YouTube.
The puppies are getting more and more active and making more and more noise.
I have wormed them for the last 3 days and will do them again at 5 weeks.
Tomorrow I am going to start them on to solid food as I think they are needing more than Amber can now provide, she has done an amazing job so far and now it is time for me to step in and give her a hand. I have had to take her food bowl out of the whelping box as the puppies keep on trying to get into it.

You tube

I am currently uploading the latest videos of Amber and the puppies on to you tube as the quality and length of time it takes to upload them on to this blog is not good.
You can hopefully see them at my user name which is amberandfern.
I have never used you tube before so hope I have got it right.
The puppies are all well this morning and will be wormed again later if the you tube works I will try and get a video of it for you to see.

the link for the first video is
