At long last my Mistress is dropping the temperature. She is doing it gradually to see how the puppies react. She has not quite got to the point of turning it off at night but that will certainly happen very soon. She is turning it off for times during the day to let it drop lower. She is not back to wearing long sleeved t-shirts in the house, which means it’s not quite such a shock when she goes out in them.
In an attempt to keep the pen clean one of the puppies went too far. He put his bottom right up against the side of the pen and pooed so it was on the outside. Despite having to clear it up, my Mistress couldn’t help to be impressed. It is definitely a first as was the one who carefully pooed in the water trough.
Then this morning at 5am they weren’t just asking for food they were rioting. They were all wide awake and wanting to eat and when they’d finished they were playing more vigorously thand they ever have done before. It’s as though all of a sudden they’ve grown up. This photo was taken about 5.30 this morning as they all tucked into breakfast and my Mistress was cursing quietly as there was no sign they would be going back to sleep any time soon.
It’s funny when you have puppies you have random visitors that you weren’t expecting who can’t resist coming to meet them. The puppies don’t mind they get extra fuss and attention and if we’re lucky we do too.
