Today the puppies are a week old and my how they have grown. 

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 boys do.

Had along look at where the whelping box was in my large dining room my other half thought it would be better as it was out of the way and quiet as we only use that room when the all the family descend on us.

The whelping box my husband made is the huge 6ft by 5ft he really did a fabulous job on it. So we now have moved her upstairs in my husband study under the eaves with a curtain around it to make it feel more like a nest. Today she seems a lot happier, she still likes a little wander when pups are asleep but no digging.

Already starting to see little characters who are more chilled, the one who whinges for food, the thug, the greedy guts. 

So the next milestone is eyes opening and then ears, I'll be taking some more photos so everyone can see how much they have grown.

I had a few interested potential owners penciled in to ring back when pups were born and now they have changed their minds, so 3 girls and 2 boys for sale if anybody is interested or know of anyone who wants an adorable Irish setter. 

Both parents come from a good pedigree backgrounds so are both have pet or show potential.

Hope the new Bronte snugg spot is what she ordered. Hugs to the puppies.
