F-litter Pregnancy & Puppy Diary

2013 > 08

The puppies are growing and growing! Tomorrow they are already 5 weeks old! Only 3 more precious weeks with this lovely bunch! Now the fun times really begins, now they are big enough to enjoy the bigger world outside their play area. These past few days they have started to go outside several times a day and they have also been to the kitchen to play,
It is good for them to experience new environments, new sounds and smells. Everything to make them prepared for the life that comes when they move away.
Tomorrow afternoon it is time for their weekly weighing and photosession. But until then you can enjoy photos and a couple of videos from the past few days below.

The puppies are 31 days old today. Yesterday they had an eventful day, while I was cleaning they got to explore the world outside their puppypen. They got to check out the hallway and kitchen and also those who wanted got to go outside. I want them to go outside by their own curiousity, so three boys went all the way out, Mr Black was first, then Mr Green and Mr Blue.
This morning I gave them breakfast outside so I could clean inside while they were eating, and some food made everyone hurry outside! So not hard to convince them!
We have now started to get visits by the future puppyowners, nice for both me and the dogs!
Below are some photos from yesterday, Enjoy!

Tomorrow the puppies are 4 weeks old! A magical number for the puppybyers, because it means that they will be allowed to come and visit us now! 
Today we had "Rut" (Kadamo Dancer in the Dark) and her owners here for a visit. I haven't seen Rut since last year so was very happy to have her for a short visit. Rut did not get to come inside to meet the puppies, but her owners did. 
Tomorrow the puppies are 4 weeks old and it is time for another individual photoshoot, weighing and their second deworming. So we will have a busy day!
Below are photos from yesterday and today, enjoy!

My lovely darlings are 3 ½ weeks old now. They are all just wonderful, the perfect age! They are curious, climb up in my lap for cuddles and they don't bite yet! In a few more weeks it will be on your own risk to get in and play with them when they have a lot of energy... Then they will most likely be biting toes, clothes and noses!
They still sleep a lot so when they wake up I try to use their awake time to play with them and just socialize them.
All my grown up girls, their grandma Moa, aunt Mira and nanny Yaya has now started to interact a little with them aswell. Mira seem so love her little nieces and nephews!
Look forward to be able to let them go outside, gives them more space and more things to explore.
Below are photos of the puppies 23-25 days old and a video from this morning. Mira entertained the puppies when I was cleaning the puppypen. Enjoy!

Time for more puppyphotos! I haven't had the time before to update with the photos from the end of last week, so you can find them in the end of this album.
On top are photos from yesterday when the puppies are 22 days old. They got to move out to the livingroom yesterday, a big project for me but a short journey for them! But now they have gotten a bigger play area that will increase as they grow bigger. 
They all have their teeth out now and they play more rough than before. There is a lot of biting on eachother and toys, I can imagine it itches in their mouths a bit as their teeths come out.
Enya is still nursing them and giving milk several times a day. But they are now getting solid food twice a day,  a mix of minced meat, wet puppyfood and egg. They are all loving it!
Most of the time they are now also walking off the dogbeds and on to the newspapers to pee and poo. During nighttime they don't seem to be as good though... always a nice mess for me to take care of in the mornings! Just five more weeks of that! ;-)
They puppies are getting very social now, as soon as I get in the puppypen they climb up in my lap and wants to be held and cuddled with. And who can say no to that?! Not me!
Enjoy the photos!

I know I am crazy with the amount of photos I am taking... But the puppies are SOOOOO cute! They are just getting more and more "doglike" everyday. Now playing with eachother, barking, growling and just testing their voices.
They have been walking around a bit on the floor in the bedroom while I am cleaning their bed. It is fun watching them walk around checking things out. I am trying to make them understand that their "needs" are done on the paper and not in their bed... we are not quite there yet... 
Below are as always loads of photos from yesterday and today, the puppies 17-18 days old. Enjoy!

The puppies are 17 days old today and are getting more fun each day! Finally that joy of having puppies at home is settling in. They can now see me and finds me interesting to explore. The lick, suck and bite what they can, fingers or noses! Still very gentle just exploring. Yesterday they had their first meal of minced meat and they loved it. It did not take long for them to understand how to eat it and they just wanted more!
They will get this once a day now and eventually I will increase to twice a day. After a little while I will start to add wet puppyfood with the minced meat so that they puppies within a few weeks can eat only that.
Below are photos from the past two days. Enjoy!

Two weeks old today! Just six weeks until they will move to their new homes! That sounds so little! But I know from experience it will still feel like a pretty long time, since it is so much that will happen during these few weeks.
Today they were dewormed for the first time, they did not like it... They also had their claws cut again, this time being more cooperative, but I guess I am not their favourite person at the moment.
All the puppies were also put on the scale, they are now weighing between 1000 g - 1400 g, ranging from our smallest girl Ms Pink and our biggest boy Mr Yellow.
We had a little photoshoot taking new individual headshots, the puppies were pretty tired so they did not really look happy or that awake on the photos... But they still look adorable of course!
Enjoy!

My lovely Fire-litter is now 13 days old and they are as adorable as always. All of them has more or less opened their eyes now, and it gives them more personality. 
Tomorrow they will be 2 weeks old and have a new individual photoshoot, be dewormed for the very first time, getting their claws cut for the second time and also, this weekend they will get to taste some solid food for the first time.
So we have a busy week ahead of us!
Below are a video and photos from yesterday when the puppies were 12 days old. Enjoy!

The puppies are 10 days old today and they have really grown these last few days. They are using a lot of facial expressions now, lifting eyebrows, moving their ears and so on. Adorable!
I can tell that it won't be long now until they open their eyes. Ms Pink, my smallest girl has been first out. Today half her eyes is open!
I love this stage, because they become more personal when their eyes is open, it's more fun when someone is looking back at you!
Enya is doing good, her apetite is very high, but she can't eat as much as she wants, I still need to adjust her portions. 
Her energy level is higher aswell so today she came along for a little bit longer walk around the neighbourhood. Still not a long walk, but at least longer than just walking around the house.

The puppies are 5 days old today. All doing well, still strong and loud! Enya has been fighting a fever since her delivery, it goes a bit up and down, but overall she is doing better and is having more energy.
Yesterday she even wanted to play for a second with the other dogs during our morningwalk! 
I am lucky to have some nice people helping me out aswell. Enya's owners where here for a while yesterday so I could take my dogs to the woods aswell as the store. 
Elin and Marcus who owns Souki from the D-litter has also helped me out taking my dogs out for walks, which I know they appreciate! I sure do!
They do get less attention these first weeks with puppies in the house, so happy with all the help i get!

Below are some photos of the puppies 3 and 4 days old. Enjoy!
