Saturday 15th May: The pups are five weeks today and are now proper little dogs, very demanding and attention seeking. They have been playing nicely with Jamie but are started to get a bit rough, Jamie is already wearing a set of Dora's teeth on her tummy when Dora tried to play tuggy tuggy with Jamie's top. My washing on the clothes horse has been dragged around the floor, and hanging is fair game for the pups. In my hall I have my dog leads attached to some hooks on the door, if Dora is missing she is normally found in the hall, hanging a foot off the floor swinging on a dog lead!
Thursday 13th May: the pups have been out in the garden for the first time, Dora and Swipper followed me out when I went to put the washing on the line and left the conservatory door open (swipper is back to being a lion, very brave and bold this week and very pushy, me...me...me.) Apollo also came out but stayed close to the door (Dora was out and up the bottom of the garden) and Diego was persuaded to come out to play, but Boots and Tico were quite happy to stay in the comfort of the lounge, mind you as it was jolly cold out, perhaps they were just being sensible not woosy.
Wednesday 12th May: Belinda and Jo came to visit and have a play with the pups, the pups were pleased with their new play mates and enjoyed showing off, it was noticeable again how, Apollo was possibly the least bother at making up to this new people, he has already decided on who is going to be his daddy.
Monday10th May: My granddaughter's 8th Birthday so we were all out for dinner, Richard volunteered to puppy sit as long as we brought him home a doggy bag. So off went the pups to play next door, he spent the whole evening poking the pups to make sure they did not go to sleep but played with him (he's worse then my grandchildren!) any way he had a whale of a time and went we got back his house was covered in soggy newspaper and exhausted puppies. Dora had developed a new game, called Climbing the stairs and apollo had decided that as it was his daddy he would sit on the sofa with daddy all evening and according to richard, when ever apollo was put to bed he would cry to come out (spoilt brat).
