T minus 3
Suddenly last night the puppies said they were hungry. It was only 8pm, but they would not shut up. My Mistress gave them a big bowl of dry food to keep them going and they ate it all and still had room for their supper. They ate another big bowl of dry food overnight and managed to eat most of breakfast. Either one of them is going to be very heavy at weigh in or it will be evenly distributed. The down side of that is ‘more in, more out’! At least they are now very good and only go on the paper at the end of the pen.
My Mistress has already suffered quite a gash on her arm from puppies competing to be the first to be picked up.
The puppies’ pedigree certificates arrived yesterday. There had been a problem as the Kennel Club said that anyone who was part of the Assured Breeder Scheme could not register their next litter until they had a visit, but there was such an outcry, including my Mistress refusing to have a visit while she had young puppies at risk of infection, that they had to say they would register any litter that was already expected at the time of the change. Anyway, the good news is that it looks as though all their papers will arrive in time. We are just waiting for their ownership documents and all will be well. My Mistress has been making up the puppy packs ready to send away with the owners. They have things in them such as what we like to eat and how to get us used to lots of different things. It’s got a bit about training, but I prefer to skim over those bits.
After breakfast this morning it was blue monkey’s turn to be attacked. This photo is just the start of it!
