Treacle's pups at 52 days old

31/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Treacle's pups are now 52 days old. Anyone following this blog may of noticed over this journey of Treacle's pups growing that we see Blottie more often in photos of the pups than their mother, Treacle. Treacle still cares for her pups allowing them the occasional suckle now and then, but Blottie (after her sister, Bumble showed a momentary interest in them) seems happy to take up the mantel; of sleeping with the pups during the daytime and tending them. Hopefully this is a sign that she will in turn be a wonderful Poundlane Momma!

Puppies outdoors and puppies indoors

Two videos tonight of Treacle's pups. The first one is of the pups having their evening run out around our property and the one below is at the start of Albey and Barney with our daughter, Molly and then the two of them in the kitchen with Blottie playing gently with them. Adopting a more submissive play with the puppies than she does with her sister. Interesting article on ScienceDaily to read about research in to How Wolf Pups Play Together. 'Jennifer Essler notes: "The study presents the first evidence that wolf puppies do not show egalitarian play styles, and adult wolves do not appear to exhibit self-handicapping behaviors to engage the puppies in play. Thus, it does not appear that the retained levels of conspecific cooperation within wolves, compared to dogs, has selected for more egalitarian play styles."'
It happens to be our daughter, Florrie's  13th Birthday on Saturday, when Treacle's pups are eight weeks old and Albey leaves us on Sunday. So I have booked the pups in for their first vaccinations and doing their microchips for Friday. As the children are home and the litter is only four pups, rather than have a home visit from the vet ( as I normally do with bigger litters), I will take them in to the vets. So tomorrow we will get them all out for their first trip in a car, rather than the first trip in the car being to the vets to be injected. Don't want to associate their first voyages in a car with what might be a negative experience.

Dog days at Poundlane

Poundlane pack lie up during the worst heat of the day
When it is hot, dogs are pretty bright. If allowed they lie up in the worst heat of the day. Dogs should not be exercised when it is very hot. They are not as efficient as us at cooling themselves down, especially compromised if they are a flat faced breed.

Just Millie and Smudge at Instow

Bank Holiday Monday here today. With David and me not working and the hot weather forecast for the day, we were up just after 5 am this morning with children and two of the Poundlane pack, Millie and her daughter, Smudge loaded in the car just after 6 am for a trip out to Instow and then a stop for breakfast on the way home at Fremington Quay Cafe for breakfast. After 2 hours walking on the beach the children were only to happy to sit down for breakfast al fresco at Fremington and although Smudge and Millie had few scraps this morning from the children's plates. They did turn the charm on to the lady serving us and got a dog biscuit each.

Sleeping pups at 50 days old

29/5/2016

Treacle's pups are now 50 days old and this time next weekend Albey will be in Wales with his family, who are picking him up at eight weeks old. Barney the only other pup leaving us from this litter will be with us until ten weeks old, as Viv and Jan who are having him take a holiday they had already got booked to coincidentally where Cristiano Ronaldo was born, who I jokingly remarked about in the blog Barney aka Barnaldo.
​As Viv and Jan are only in Plymouth not to far from us, they popped over this morning to see Barney and have a cuddle before going on holiday. Lovely to see them both again.

Caught this very cute footage of Lily barking at Barney. They then all run out of camera view and then just look out for Albey's re-entrance, which is a little faster than he expected, by the look on his face.

Just Reggie with the Grandchildren

Getting a bit of video footage of Treacle's pups earlier today and their Grandad Reggie decided to put in an appearance whilst filming. Reggie is a lovely boy and always really good with any pups we have.
The last part of the video is a funny bit of three of the pups having a tug of war with one of their toys.

Puppy chew time

27/5/2016

1 Comment

 
Treacle's pups now 48 days old had their first raw hide chews . I think on the packets of raw hide chews they advise not giving to them until 3 or 4 months old, as risk of chewing. We have find them perfectly okay to give to them as soon as they start chewing, but just like giving a young child something to eat and chew on, you don't leave them on their own when chewing them.
And after giving them their chews I got this nice bit of footage of Albey really enjoying his chew. Albey has the most sweetest look and manner about himself, and keeps reminding me of Millie as a pup. Looking at him the other day it clicked why. The paternal Grandfather of Albey's Dad is Millie's Dad.

Lunchtime at Poundlane

25/5/2016

0 Comments

 
I was eating my lunch and Treacle decided to let her pups now 46 days old have a bit of lunch as well. Our daughter, Florrie is home at the moment due to tooth trouble. She is in a bit of pain with a gum cyst, due to a tooth erupting through a baby tooth that has decided to stay put.
When I got her prescription yesterday for the antibiotics, she was asked if she was allergic to penicillin. We had to think for a second, because Florrie at nearly 13 has never ever had antibiotics, so we would not know if she was allergic or not. So her reply was, "As far as I know I'm not."

When I started blogging tonight, Treacle's pups were playing in the living room. I finished blogging (Although back to post this photo) and found them all fast asleep with Bumble on one of the sofas. They can get up on this sofa via the fireplace plinth.

Our son, Thomas got home from school this afternoon and set about catching Barney the budding footballer on camera again. It is interesting to watch this video. As this is a puppy just over six weeks old showing that he is already developing the cognitive function to perceive the speed of the ball and run to the side of it, get in front of it and stop it. Even Cristiano Ronaldo could not do that by six weeks old. Lol

Treacle's pups on the patio at 44 days old

23/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Yesterday our son, Thomas came to me with a lovely video he had taken of Barney and Ernest playing with a ball on the patio. Unfortunately loading it up on to the computer the old memory card I was using in the camera decided it had, had enough and only a couple seconds of it loaded up and it was automatically erased off the card. This is my attempt this morning to see if I could capture them playing with the ball again, but as you will see they were not really up for a game of football at the time. So we had a bit of a cuddle session instead.

Finally got this video to load up. Taken today with Treacle's pups now 43 days old. You will notice that Treacle has decided that she really does not have to clean up behind her pups now they are eating solids as well and obviously I'm just playing at being slightly mad in the video. Lol
