Nearly 5 weeks old!!!! - In and out of the kennel :)

I must apologise for the dearth of news - it is not for want of excitement!  On Friday we had the claw clipping, weighing and worming ceremony which was  great fun. Over the weekend the pups really livened up as they were visited by their prospective families.  Big Curly is now Columbus, we have Bear, out of Big Boy and Little boy who are very close to the same size now, it is difficult to tell.  He does have red nail polish though but I don't think he gets laughed at :) Little Blaze has a lovely new family and Daisy May is now aDoraBle Dora and is becoming a bright little explorer too!  Chunky Monkey has been finally claimed by me after great deliberation and is now known as Bramble (and quite a few other epithets - she remains feisty; but we can work with that - can't we Gaynor??) Little Curly also has a lovely new family and there is a bundle of fur, a German Shepherd pet  living with Grandma who I am sure will become a good pal and partner in crime.  Another family are agonising between Button and Little Bear (who is the same size as Big Bear, give or take a 100g!!!). Blaze is in at the moment as he has scraped his back paw so is sleeping in our cage with one or another of the pups for company. He is quite content on his own, actually, but needs to be with other pups at this time in his life.  I am making sure that everyone gets to stay in so that they can all get used to the noises and get extra fuss, cuddles and exploration - yesterday was the last time I will have all in at once - it is impossible to maintain any sort of control now they are getting so active :)  Last night Blaze had Bramble in with him, yesterday he also had Curly Girl and Dora for company.  Currently he has Little Curly and this afternoon I shall bring in Button and Little Bear so that we can take some footage and notes for Lucia and Ed to help them choose.  Curly Girl is now also waiting to be chosen as her first family now can't, but we are working down the waiting list and are sure that someone will want to have such a cute and placid little pup to live with them.

Enough, it is now time to feed pups again and to walk Molly.  Teasle has nearly had enough of feeding them - they have very sharp teeth! They are now on Chudley's puppy food and it is not too soft, so there is a 'bite' to it that should help with those teething problems!!  More, with pictures, later I hope - no promises :)
