No.10 practicing for the possible agility carrier. The tunnel and jumping will not be a problem, he greets his future owners.

In what has felt just as one blink of the eyes our little ones became one week older. They are giving us all so much love and to me who is sleeping just outside their whelping box they are also giving at least a couple of sleepless hours each night. But just one look from their puppy eyes makes me forget that it is in the middle of the night and each time they wake me up I need to force myself to stop playing with them and to try to get some sleep again. There really is no better…

Well, this was not really their first time outside the whelping box. They all have been carried out from there and cuddled with in our sofa.

Soon I will order their first collars and leashes. It will be from this site.
