Olé & Widget puppies update!

Olé puppies are getting to that handful phase very quickly. They are starting to really do some serious tugging/shaking/growing of all the toys and each other. They have started sabotaging each other when going potty. This is a puppy favorite.  Prey on the weak.  So when one tootles off to go poop, they all WAIT!!! They discuss amongst themselves who is going to do the attack and one is "selected".  Just as the puppy is in "the position" and vulnerable.....here comes the "selected one" flying across the pen and BAM over the pooping puppy topples!  NOT NICE!  The revenge than starts to be plotted and so starts all the "paybacks".  Few minutes later you will see the puppy that got toppled while trying to poop dragging the one that did the toppling  around by the tail just shaking and growling.  You can just hear him laughing, "oh ya, you thought it was funny take THIS!!!" They LOVE the wobble boards, the run on it, pounce on it, balance on it and yes poop on it!  The puppies are all on raw and only nursing one time a day now.  Olé will be leaving middle of next week to go "get back in racing shape" with her other mommy and daddy that she races with on Sure Shot flyball team.  She is ready to say the least. She is sick of them now so other mommies Scorch, Brick, Sprint and Jedi will go in with them and teach them life lessons and play stuff. This works very well as one thing they learn very quickly is ALL dogs are not a milk bar.  The pups are also going out side more and more learning about bushes, trees, grass, wood decking, rocks, sprinklers, outside truck/car noises etc...they are typical 5 week old puppies.  They are not sure they want to be outside, but are curious so they explore and trot around then pass out from exhaustion of being in a new place. Next week they will be better and better with each exposure and next week they will learn to swim in the big pool!  They are growing so fast it amazes me every litter.

Widget puppies are just growing like weeds.  They are all walking around and almost have their eyes open.  They move out of the whelping room this weekend and into the living room pen still in the pool for another week (ish), and the Olé pups will go into the giant pen then.  New photos of them will be up today.  You will be shocked when you see how big they are!  They are very cute and VERY vocal! They just crack me up! 

OK that is it for now.   Look for photos and video coming soon!!!
