I woke to a loud "plop" in the night followed by some urgent squeals....
Black girl had managed to escape from the high side of the whelping box and couldn't get back in... hehehehe
The box is turned so that there is a low side aimed at the bathroom door, so, should they want to climb in and out to their "free" area, they end up in the right place.. they climb the low section and ooze over, and plop onto the bathroom floor... but the poor boy is always last - I think because he has an extra"appendage" and as he is oozing over the board 'it' hooks and he gets stuck there until someone else comes and shoves him over haha
Today is the first full day they will spend outside. It is overcast and cooler and they are in their pen, romping around, dragging toys and yanking on grass!
When I am watching them, I let them loose on the lawn outside the pen - they love Finn and she plays so nicely with them, but if someone focuses on her tummy (to find a teat), its TICKETS to her - she flies back inside in fright, she's having none of that! Another of their favourites is Tide (surprisingly, as he is a nerd) - he is so gentle and patient and somehow gets all 3 to follow him like the pied piper (I think he's showing them around!)
To all the prospective puppy owners, I thought that you would like to see the photographs, videos, and updates of the Mackland puppies while they are still with me. These Border Collie & Shetland Sheepdog puppies are lovingly bred and raised in my home. This blog lets me show you step by step how your baby is raised. It highlights each step from mating to 8 weeks old. I hope that you all enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy having them in my house!
