Fantastic Four

The puppies are four weeks old today, running fast and pooping lots. They have become quite vocal about being let out of their pen but I don't fall for that pleading whining noise. They get let out when they are fed, run around, get socialized, chewed on my Leeloo, everyone gets some lap-time and are then put to bed.



They go to 3 meals today and after each meal Halo feeds them to top up their tummies and put them to bed with warm milky goodness. Gradually over the next few weeks I'll be reducing the amount of time they nurse from Halo, then cut out one Halo meal per day, then two and then the final meal at the end of next week will see them fully weaned.

The cute factor has exploded. It's almost criminal how adorable they are. They are kissing and snuggling and following my voice very well.






They are now also in the larger pen because they were getting a bit cramped and they race across the pen when I open the door to feed them They are surprisingly fast for such little puppies.


They also pay much more attention to the toys in the pen now. They have a bee, two rabbits and a baby tug toy. By the time the puppies are ready for new homes the toys will be ready for a wash!

They are so cute I can't STAND it! I want to eat them. Or squeeze them. Or something. And the face on that green guy? Beautiful. And prancy little Miss Orange? ....

I want to squeeze them, too. Leeloo amazes with her personality.
