I get confused over counting how old the puppies are. Some people seem to tell me to count their day of birth as day 1 and so yesterday would have been 14, but as far as I can see the day of birth is day 0 and so today is their two week birthday. I’m going to be singing to them at the appropriate times throughout the day and eating a cake on their behalf.
Don’t forget you can watch the puppies live at on puppycam live. You have to sign in but it’s free.
Megan is feeling very down. I don’t know how she does it, but she has hurt the pads on both of her front paws. Actually, I do know how she does it. She throws herself into a game of ball with such enthusiasm that she forgets to take care of herself in the process. I think she may have tried one or two power slides on the ice. She has had them bathed in an antiseptic bath and my Mistress is going to check them again later to make sure she doesn’t need a trip to the vet. The worst is that she could still go for a walk wearing the boots my Mistress bought for her, if only she hadn’t eaten one of them! My Mistress has ordered her another pair but they won’t be here for a few days.
Now that we have some open eyes, what is funny is that at times the puppies seem to be sleeping with them open. It’s as though they don’t want to close them in case they don’t work anymore.
I’ve started my campaign for a Christmas tree just for the puppies. Once my Mistress’s bed moves next weekend we will be able to get to the decorations cupboard. There is the small matter of my Mistress not having enough time and saying she isn’t really in a festive mood, but they are minor problems that I am sure can be overcome one way or another.
