Some puppies are just so ungrateful. You write really nice things about them and they reward you by pooing everywhere and not sleeping through the night. Never mind not sleeping through the night, from the smell and amount of mess it would be fair to say they were pooing everywhere through the night. It makes the job of feeding and cleaning up first thing in the morning rather less pleasant and more hazardous than it otherwise would be. They were late to bed, but that was because in her attempt to move them onto 4 meals a day their supper ended up being late as they still wanted 5 meals. So today we have grouchy tired puppies and a grouchy tired Mistress. I have taken up position in a quiet corner and will come out when it’s safe.
This week the puppies will be learning to get used to collars. It is another process that my Mistress watches very carefully. Some of them have a tendency to play a little too roughly with their brothers and sisters and when they are wearing a collar you have to be careful. She tends to put them on at a time they are supposed to be napping rather than playing, but with this lot that is harder to do.
The timelapse camera is not going very well. Not only does it need more light than there seems to be most of the time, but it must have been knocked out of position and last week mostly photographed part of the pen the puppies don’t spend so much time in. My Mistress has reset it, but the end results are not going to be as good as she had hoped.
This morning’s picture is another of those cute ones of them sleeping.
