Thursday 20th February 2014 – Weigh in , video and update

They may be down to 4 but they ate breakfast for six! They then all went back to sleep after a good run round. Yesterday’s weight gains were variable. Casanova passed the 5kg mark. He added 110g to reach 5030g. Cosette added 130g to reach 4950g. Cuddles added only 30g to reach 4170g, but it is the first time she has been completely off any milk supplement and with the trauma of yesterday my Mistress is quite happy with that. She is only three days behind the weight that Addie was at this stage, so it is not a big difference. She will catch up in her own time. She may end up a little smaller, but that should not be a problem.

This will be your last but one video (presuming the puppies cooperate tomorrow!) It is good to see they are still having fun, even though missing their sisters. Chekov had a game of tug for a while with him on one side and both Casanova and Cosette on the other. He still won, but I don’t think Casanova and Cosette had worked out their game strategy and were not pulling in the same direction. You can see it here http://youtu.be/pSWlfGxS2hs

IMG_1114Most of the time when they aren’t playing the puppies are sitting right under the camera at the corner of the pen which is nearest to where my Mistress is sitting. Every couple of minutes they look up pleadingly and ask for a cuddle. We managed blanket time for both of the boys this morning, but the girls are hopefully having theirs this afternoon. We have get them spending more time in their collars too. Chekov will wait now until the others go on Saturday so it is just the other three we have to do. The photo shows the puppies snuggling up in the corner by my Mistress.
