The pups have finally been moved outside! YAY!
They are developing nicely.
Their teeth have come in and they are eating dry food but never miss an opportunity to latch on to momma.
May need to make a creep feeder as momma keeps eating all the food.
They will get their next round of deworming Sun-Tues.
Yesterday carried all the puppies to the house for some people time. Brought them in put them down and all 3 ran back to the door and started scratching to get back out! One started barking in loud protest! Little boogers!
We told them they had to stay in it was their lovey time. LOL They were not amused. We kissed on them and loved on them and then one went to lay on the pile of shoes... one plopped down in front of the door and one went and laid down in the thru -way.
One pup is clearly more independent. One pretty much always wants to be by another pup. One doesn't seem to care one way or the other. One is an instigator... one is a real "growler".
Yesterday afternoon the goats were all in a tizzy over something and making all kinds of noise... DD said the one pup (all 3 were in the shelter) appeared in the doorway... sat tall and still and looked from side to side watching. This is the same pup that takes no notice of the huge chickens around her and when they come toward her she doesn't care. One pup says "mommy" what are those things? and will run over and stand by my leg. One wants to be friends with everything. I was not surprised as to which pup was watching.
Little Leah (3 1/2month doeling) had gone into their shelter while we had them inside... when we took them back out they all went in to the shelter... Leah was scared of these white things. One of the pups checked out the shelter and made sure everything was in "order" then went back outside. Two pups will automatically go out of their shelter to poddy... one will poddy in it. Chickens are in with them and all is well there. The goats are all going... what???? what are they??? and they jump up on high things and look down! It is too funny.
One pup is a fierce little pup, takes no crap from anything yet very cuddly. One pup is sweet and playful and is moving all over her territory, curious but without being obnoxious. One is independent and watchful very nice disposition..
They will be 5 weeks on Monday so gradual introduction will begin. Hotwire in another 2 weeks.
This week after all the freezing rain is gone (UGH) they will have periods of being out in the chicken/Nigerians fenced field. Supervised of course. They will be introduced to their dad too. Badger lays right by the fencing. Amy still doesn't like Badger too close to her pups. The goats come up all the time.
Will be doing some problem solving assessments also. We did one challenge while they were in the house. The results were quite interesting. We did have an unofficial challenge and the determination of one of the pups was quite intriguing.
good girl... poddy's outside LOL
