Hooray! Pups are now officially one month old. They are ever so playful nowadays. Always up and about. Playing with each other although I do notice that the little white one doesn't mix around too well. She's the smallest of the lot and eats the least.
They are learning to bark at strangers by imitating the actions of my other dogs. Whenever a stranger walks past, my dogs will run towards the gate and start barking. I have noticed the pups do the same. The follow.
Jill has almost stopped nursing them. I totally understand. Pups' teeth are growing fast and fangs have started to appear. I cannot imagine Jill's torture whenever the pups want to nurse.
A very funny observation. The pups have this natural instinct when it comes to their mummy. So whenever she's nearby any of them, they'll even start nursing while attempting to stand on their hind feet. It's really quite a sight!
Have started them on semi solid puppy food now instead of puppy mush. Their growing teeth is making them want to bite at everything they can get their mouths on including my toes! Unfortunately they didn't like the chewies I got for them on Sunday. Sort of a full moon treat.
Oh! Last Friday night, one of the black pups managed to squeeze under the front gate and escaped to the road. Luckily he didn't go too far before Jill and Jane started barking frantically as if calling for me to come out. Not their usual bark so I know it's definitely not strangers outside. When the little fella saw me coming out, he panicked and started squeezing himself through the gate but it wasn't the same way he went out. His head got stuck! Had a hard time getting him out of his predicament. So now there's wire mesh attached to the bottom part of my front gate.
On another note, there are still no takers for the 3 female pups. Why oh why the discrimation against females???
