The pitter patter of not so tiny paws

It has been a week since NYE celebrations, meaning that for most people the fun of the festive season is starting to feel like a distant memory. For us, however, it means that it has been a week since the puppies were born, and the fun is just beginning.

The puppies are starting to move around and soon should be walking, their fur is starting to get curly, and some of them have even been trying to make a run crawl for it! In a week most of the puppies have doubled in weight!! Being the born accountant that I am, I have been keeping a detailed spreadsheet with their weights and the puppies have been having daily weigh-ins.

As you can see from below, we have thought of VERY imaginative names for the puppies...

Weight after 1 week: 566g

As the puppies are getting bigger, Panda & Teddy are getting increasingly curious. They keep trying to have a sneaky peak but are careful not to come too close for fear of feeling the wrath of Poppy!

As well as some attempted canine visitors, we had a human visitor yesterday.

Poppy was very pleased to see her auntie Maria but tried to trick her into thinking this little reindeer was one of her puppies... Maybe next time Pops.
