Bitch gave birth today, pretty sure i'm not the dad.

Do they keep you up at night?

They wake up around midnight for a feed.

heh, after weeks of trying to get out of the bed ...


Trying to find something heavy enoug to act as a step for them, never realised we don't have "steps for a puppy bed" in the loft.
 
How cute! :D Watching them tumble over made me giggle.

I think I have have found my ideal first dog (think I may have 2 though, so they don't get lonely).

How about just getting a firm pillow or cushion? Wedge one end of it under the box, and then it can't slip away.
 
Need to find something a little less "absorbent", if you know what i mean. Square biscuit tin full of books seems to be doing the job right now.
 
Been finding them under the dining room table now, no idea how they've got out of their pen.

Youngest sprog is unsure if this is cute or not (it's her slipper!)

This is MUCH harder work than the kittens, with kittens mum looks after them upto the day they leave, Millie got bored after week 2. OMFG, the NOISE! They make a horrible screeching whine if they're hungry. Or lonely, or lost, or cold, or borded. You get the idea. If one of them wakes up hungry at 3am, they ALL wake up at 3am.

Wake to screaming pups at 3am, stumble down stairs in darkness without killing self (man points?), put mum in with pups to top them up. Fall asleep on the sofa. Wake a 4am to mum whining because the pups are annoying her now, lift mum out. Return to bed to find youngest has stolen my side of the covers. :(
 
My brother picked up a collie/lab cross pup just before Christmas. His fiance made the mistake of feeding it beef off the bone with a load of the marrow. He said he came downstairs and the utility room was like a long Kesh dirty protest.

Anybody remember Hansel & Gretel? You know, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to get home? I've got a different version, if you follow the trail of tiny shiney paw prints all the way to the end of the trail, you find a puddle of puppy wee :mad: They're getting better though, they're waking up, using the training mats then going back to bed, most of the puddles we're getting now is down to excitement when they're playing.
 
No, they seem quite happy to scatter. We'll find 3 asleep on the bed under the dining room table, another one down the other end of the kitchen barking at his reflection in the cooker door, 2 more barks at each other behind the sofa and the others just vanish all together. Seem to show up when they hear food though.
 
Filmed just before we went to bed (hence crappy light pickup from our camera), they've been fed, played with and then back in their bed for about 20 minutes.


Wondering when the batteries will run out. They woke my wife just after 2, i was up just after 6.
 
Definitely cool to see them growing up.

Loved the post about the poo tactics for the corners of the rooms!
