Puppies now 4 weeks 1 day

Update on puppies and mum

Wednesday I had a lovely lady and gentleman come to look at pups as interested in a girl. All was going well and they stayed an hour or so. Bronte fed her pups and then took herself off into the garden. She spent ages out there and…

DNA tests

Afternoon everyone

Haven't seen any more of the puppies today open their eyes. But they are all trying to stand up and they are crawling alot faster it's amazing to see how quickly they grow. 

Bronte is a good mum and feeds them well but when they are a sleep she likes to have a roam around and spend time with us, we have a baby monitor or should that be puppy monitor and as soon as they stir and she hears them crying she's straight back. She is staying with them all…

Yesterday Bronte was giving us a little cause for concern as she had taken up digging  holes and nesting again, Only wanting to stay with pups if they needed feeding, leaving them when they were asleep.

She dug a massive hole in the green house which had only just been filled in just before puppies were born. she climbed in my sons wardrobe and dug up all the clothes he had thrown in the bottom, like teenage…
