March 29, 2014 - 3 weeks

Our beautiful puppies are three weeks old now and beginning to look like something I could play with!  So small yet barking when there is a strange noise in the house.

A lot of playing going on, but also a lot of sleep!

The PM has introduced the Potty Patch to the pen - we have had quite a few hits but plenty of misses. Clara is a regular visitor - unfortunately she only puts her front paws on the patch and then proceeds to pee next to it. So Sweet. Pretty soon we will be playing and I hope they will follow our good example and not mess in the house.

Two weeks and growing........... Sleeping most of the time, but growing!

March 15, 2014

Well - you should have seen the PM's face when she arrived home a few months ago and found my lovely Lulu and I tied in a love knot after all her effort to try and keep us apart ☺

Needless to say (ahem) we became proud parents of 4 boys and 3 girls on Saturday before last.  Now the PM has threatened to send me away  the next time Lulu feels like going on honeymoon ... I know her heart though - and I know that she will miss me too much and will certainly make a better plan when the time comes. 

In the meantime my lovely Lulu is doing a very good job of caring for the little ones while our PM is having a lot of fun faffing around them (along with plenty of coochy-cooing of course)

Their eyes are open now and they are beginning to stand up to try and walk. 

Still very wobbly but soon it will be play time - oh and how I love to run and play with the little ones even if I am outnumbered. The PM says it is my duty as Daddy to teach them well.

The PM also says that the puppies will be ready to go to new homes as from 3 May. To book a puppy please contact the PM by sending an e-mail to maggzgrey@gmail.com

PS: The PM is our "People Mother"  in case this is your first visit to 

my blog and you were wondering...

Puppy update...... 5 months old and gorgeous.

Whoo hoo -  Our little Bella's PM sent us photos :)

Bella looks like a real 'happy camper' - can you see the caravan in the background on the right? She is so beautiful - and judging by the photo on the left,
quite the Madam....
We were told that Bella and Aunty Jenny are now the greatest of friends.
What a relief.

Ahhh - she looks like me at 5 months - did I say she was beautiful, or what??  :)

Our Bouncy Little Binky - she still acts all 'serious' when she spots the camera on her - just like I taught her.

We have been fortunate to have Binky live with us all along!
(See - I TOLD you she was the PM's favourite)

Turns out the PM was protective over Binky because she was so much smaller than her siblings. She kept telling people that 'the perfect new PM or PD will appear at the right time - all the while enjoying Binky and finding comfort through her after the loss of our dear old aunty Muffin in June 2013. Aunty Muffin was nearly 16 at the time....  I sure hope that I can spend such a long and happy life with my PM:)

Love is . . . .

My lovely wife Lulu and I can just imagine the delight of coming home from school every day.

Bella and her new PM are clearly very happy together.

We believe Aunty Jenny is intrigued and wants to make friends, but Bella is still dubious.

Soon, Aunty Jenny, soon - just don't lose hope . . . 

Bellaboo

Yesterday morning the PM took Bellaboo to the King Shaka Airport for a flight down to Port Elizabeth from where she was taken by car to Uitenhage where she will be living with her new family.

We received this photo of Bella and her lovely new 10 year old PM. 

Although little Bella looks tired and traumatised after spending nearly 5 hours in a flight box, she will soon forget the ordeal and is going to be very happy - it looks like a lot of playing will be done.

 Bellaboo meets Aunty Jenny

Aunty Jenny really looks HUGE compared to our little Bellaboo and Bella has that  "I hope she doesn't think that I'm a cat" look on her face. This photo somehow reminds me of the day I was introduced to old Aunty Muffin. I bet that pretty soon Bella and Aunty Jenny will be running around and playing just like we did. (Although it took all of 7 days for Aunty Muffin to accept me . . . . .)

Nothing better than a good nap after a hard day of playing - under the watchful eye of Mr Panda of course. How cute is that tongue - I wonder what she is dreaming about?

♥Thank you to the new PM's for sending us photos. We love to keep in touch♥

Boomer

 Whoever first said "It's a dog's life" did not have this in mind.

Boomer moved to Durban last week and we have received these and other photos of him.

His new PM says that he can already fetch a ball. 

That's my boy - as clever as his Daddy 

How content he looks. 

 A little Prince in a King sized bed. 

Eight weeks old ....

How time flies.....

The puppies 'celebrated' eight weeks today with a bath and a first grooming. The PM was very impressed at how well they behaved. They thoroughly enjoyed all the pampering.

Bella is pondering on what all the fuss was about

Bonbon sits just like my lovely Lulu used to when she was this age. 

Bonbon has been plump since birth and loves her food just like her mommy did. Perhaps sitting like this is more comfortable for a pup with a round tummy ;)

"but you said NOTHING about not rolling in the sand after a bath...."

Bogey left home yesterday to go and live with his new PM&D and a Spaniel named Tizer. We hope to see Bogey on a regular basis when he visits to be groomed

 Bella strikes a Schnauzer pose.
She is a serious type - takes after me ;)

 I'm innocent - the bit of sand on my nose was Bogey's fault....

Binky looking as pretty as ever.

Five weeks old....

At five weeks our babies love outside play-time in the enclosure in the courtyard. A Gymnogene that hovers over our town has been seen picking up dogs and we are taking no chances.

I love to watch the puppies run and play, and often join in the fun. 

   

The puppies are learning that there is a designated area for potty......

 Although the babies are on Hills and eating very well, my lovely Lulu still enjoys mothering them (despite the fact that they all have a few teeth now)

Three weeks old ....

We had a VERY busy weekend.  

The PM built a new wooden box for the puppies. 

I helped where I could by carrying plenty of sawdust into the house. 

Our puppies have really grown, while TD is still shrinking and is now being used as a pillow. Like the previous litter, the puppies are shedding baby hair and the PM has a full time job changing the sheets. She loves it, though. The puppies have started barking but will need a lot of guidance from me before they will sound like watchdogs. Our breed makes good watchdogs. The new People Daddy of two of our previous boys, told the PM that they are more alert than his Boer-bulls

My lovely Lulu finds it easier to sit and feed the growing puppies. 

Content after a feed and very happy in the new box. Clever PM... we love you.

I am a very proud Daddy and would like to introduce our children:

This is Bellaboo sleeping nose to cheek with TD (We named him TD because of a button on his behind that says "The Dog".  But judging by the way he seems to be shrinking, perhaps "Tiny Dog" would be a more suitable name

 

Boomer likes to snuggle close to the wall of the wooden box

He is our first-born of the litter

Below is little Binky. She might be small, but has a lot of spirit. She likes to play and the tail is always wagging. I have a sneaky feeling that she is the PM's favourite, but she assures me that she loves them all the same.  Binky is by no means a 'runt' and is very active and gaining weight at the same rate as the rest of the litter. She will probably grow up to be as petite as my lovely Lulu

A Binky-face..... how adorable 

Bogey is as handsome as his Daddy (even if I have to say so myself)

 Bonbon likes likes to snuggle with the toys.

 

Cute little heart shaped Schnauzer noses

No need to wonder why the PM is making Puppy ID collars
in various colours.

The collars don't show in the photo, and I certainly can't tell who's who? Gorgeous Schnauzer eyebrows beginning to develop.....
