\"Grandpa<\/a>
Grandpa and Granny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today is my maternal human Grandpa\u2019s 90th<\/sup> birthday. He is amazing. He was even thinking of driving a 260 mile round trip in a day just to see the puppies before they go to their homes. Fortunately it\u2019s worked out that he can come and stay for a few days so he and Granny will be arriving tomorrow. Happy birthday, Grandpa. He\u2019s been really enjoying watching the videos of the puppies and just wishes he could have one. We will do our best to make a fuss of him and be a substitute for him having his own. Aristotle is very close to him so he\u2019ll have a happy few days. I find Granny scratches my back in just the right spot so I\u2019ll be happy too! This photo was taken when they all went on a steam train for lunch with him on Sunday and the other one is his birthday cake. He\u2019s going to love the puppies and we\u2019ve got another video of them playing madly for him to enjoy today which<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The puppies were all wormed again yesterday. Poor things it totally cleared their systems out and they didn\u2019t feel very hungry for a while. They are all absolutely fine again today and ate a hearty breakfast before the bout of play in the video. Their tummies all seem to be back to normal, so that\u2019s good news. Friday really is looming up and our Mistress is trying to be strong ready for saying goodbye to them. She says she won\u2019t miss listening to drills, trains and crowds during breakfast though! Come to that she won\u2019t miss the office smelling of poo and having to clear up so many times a day, or the bruised ribs. She will miss their eager little faces and the endless availability of puppy cuddles. We\u2019ve promised to do our best to make up for that last bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow has finally decided she really likes having them around too, so she\u2019s going to feel it when they\u2019ve gone. I wonder if she will be prepared to mother Wilma instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of being wormed there were no real weight gains. Duchess lost 20g and went to 5565g. Della added 10g and is 6395g. Dixie lost 25g and is 5085g and only D\u2019Artagnan really gained adding115g to reach 6690g. That is likely to all change again today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
