Pups today

Stacked photos? On your own? Nice try, girl...

Little Man

This is the littlest boy (nearly full collar, traditionally marked). He wasn't always the littlest, but since he's become mobile he is way too busy to eat, so he's become a bit scrawny. He's always the first into everything, the one who gets stuck behind furniture, the one who gets through the fence and off over the hill.

Intermediate Girl

This little chook is the intermediate girl- she's lovely! Slipped under the radar early on because she wasn't the biggest or the smallest, but she has really emerged recently as a personality to watch. She loves her toys, comes running for a wrestle or cuddle, and isn't bothered by anything.

Chunky Monkey

Chunky Monkey- firstborn, biggest girl (biggest pup), outgoing, probably the most people-focussed. Curved blaze. Gay tail ;)

Good news

Today it’s good news- the parvo spot test was negative yesterday and BigBoy is eating like a horse + hollering the place down. His temp is still normal and his tummy has settled. The results of the stool testing won’t be back until later, but he’s coming home this afternoon.

LittleMan had the runs last night, same milky, watery poo, but he and the other pups all seem fine. It’s a mystery.

Richard was commenting this morning on how “go-ey” these pups are. Is it the ENS? Is it their natural personalities? Whatever, they are really full on. Fingers crossed that continues.

I tried to take some stacked photos by myself today- what a laugh (not). Gave up, sorry girls, and just filmed some gallivanting around the backyard. I had to clear up all the toys etc because a huge thunderstorm just came through, but the pups enjoyed a good frolic despite the thunder, and now they have retired to their laundry nest with a stack of lamb bones.

I will have the clips up tomorrow night, hopefully, when Richard gets back from Perth with his computer.

For now:

Drama!

Just getting ready to drive home (OK, I was really around at Kate’s having a chat-stop) and Richard calls, not a little agitated because he couldn’t get hold of me earlier- the big boy pup has diarrhoea, slightly blood-tinged/pinkish, that “shot right out his bum.”

The others all seem fine, but big boy is a little sluggish and Richard is on the way in to the vet with him.
