This week has been incredibly frenetic with a stream of puppy visitors - must be the end of the school holidays methinks as numerous parents have guided their children to the house. Its all been great for the pups and my thanks to the Hopkins' boys who have really helped out with socialising the brood.
Thursday saw an eventful trip for KC/BVA eye screening and the pups all passed with flying colours :-) - it was a long day in the crate for them and a lot of travelling and most were sick, but subsequent car trips have been both quiet and dry ;-)
Carol (Heikki's owner) and Lou came for the weekend and brought the puppy buggy. This meant we could start external socialisation in earnest and they have all been around Rye, crossed the level crossing several times and visited the allotment. Lou you are buggy-pusher extraordinaire :-) - oh, and kitchen maid too, while Carol busied herself with nails and furry coats - thank you both so much for all your help.
Sunday was Carol and Ilo's birthday and we took the opportunity to use the buggy to visit the lovely clean washed sand at receding tide with the pups and Ilo and we even managed a video of them all in action:
The pups met their first Rastafarians on the beach and were kept most amused by the dreadlocks. They have also been to play around various gardens without dogs and learnt how to dig (sorry guys!) and run up and roll down mounds of earth and get used to uneven surfaces:
Their food experimentation has continued with the introduction of ox heart, chicken and liver to the diet plus more produce straight from the allotment, and as you will see from the shots on the Muohta page, coats are coming along nicely. Carol and I did our best with standing and sitting shots but the little sweeties are less cooperative subjects now....even the official photographer had trouble yesterday...they are not still for an instant! Six week updates on Muohta page :-)
