I think I may just be going off this thread. It reminds me everyday just how fast time is passing LOL.

Oh and the pups are still lovely.

You should see them today. Black Pudding is just like a miniature dog. He's climbing over all the barriers - have to keep raising them.
The others are still round and puppylike. Will take some more photos later!

Where's sweetie, VC? They look properly like little dogs now - still teeny tiny though!

[lottie dolly]

they are also getting individual looks

[veggiechicken]

Sweetie is Big Girl She's nearly as heavy as Black Pudding!
They change their pet names almost daily - just o confuse you all

[veggiechicken]

Hope you all sleep as well as Spud

Good night!!

[Jeanied]

Aw bless him. And look at the size of those paws! Petal is a teeny dog still with huuuuge paws!

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Spud is just sooooooo wrinkly and adorable. How can anyone put Spud down after starting to cuddle him?

[Nicos]

Really lovely piccies VC!
...proper little pups now aren't they

I'm just wondering...do you get to enjoy them until they are 8 weeks old before they can be separated from Bessie?

I seem to recall reading about the ideal but can't recall it now!

Its impossible, Frosty. They're so trusting and cuddly.
When I squeeze into their run, I have to kneel down as there's so little room. They come toddling over and scramble up onto my knees, then nestle into my arms and before I know it, my arms and lap are full of pups and my feet have pins and needles!
Its worth the discomfort

I think Bessie will distance herself from the pups when she thinks its the right time. She's still feeding them but their claws are very sharp - and their teeth are just emerging Must be painful for Bessie.

I give them mushed up puppy food each day and they're getting the idea that you stand around the plate and lick it up, not in the plate as they did at first.

Can't believe that they're 4 weeks old today

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

VC at least you can squash into their run. This big aunty would squish the run

In such a short space of time they have developed from vulnerable wee balls of fur into puppies. Thanks again VC for sharing your and their wee precious lives with us.

Absolutely gorgeous...and Spud is just adorable!!

So if spud is a male and you decided to keep him you could call him Eddie (think King Edward!).
Oo er VC it sounds like you might just be thinking yourself into having a pack of 6 woofers at this rate. Addictive arn't they
