Happy 8 Weeks to the Roanna Puppies!
Wow, I can’t believe it is February! Weren’t we just singing Jingle Bells and decorating the Christmas tree? The puppies are very busy and very demanding! They are playing, romping, barking, eating, growing, pooping, and just being utterly adorable! The other day I went in and laughed as several had figured out how to climb up on the couch and were up there romping! Chocolate girl tunneled under the blankets and shook them all up! They had knocked my pillow down and the puppies below were attacking it! Good thing my library book was no longer on the back of the couch! I plopped them down and made a mental note that I keep meaning to buy one of those bed rails to put up! I have had books eaten, my glasses eaten, my water glass dumped, and all kinds of mischief for the puppies to get into when they figure out how to jump up there!
I have been letting them out to explore the section by the stairs and they are learning to go up the stairs but they aren’t so sure about coming down. Some are venturing down and the others sit up there and whine until I rescue them. Though Blue Ting Boy didn’t whine, he stuck his nose in between the rails and woofed at those below! I think he was telling them Ha Ha I’m up here! I didn’t give him away and tell that he was really stuck too!
It has been a busy week at night too. I’m trying to work on getting the puppies to sleep longer. They were up to sleeping 4 hours at night and then they decided they wanted to cut it back to two hours! I had several nights where they woke up at midnight, 2:15, and then 4:30 and then wanted up to play at 5:15! I let them up to go potty at midnight but I ignored them at 2:15 though that means I am ignoring them with a pillow over my head because they are very determined that I hear their little puppy protests. I let them up at 4:30 to go potty, back to bed, and then I let them up at 5:30 because I just cannot get up at 5:15! Last night was better as they were put to bed around 11:30, slept until 4:30, and then slept until 6 AM. They got up went potty, played, and had breakfast. By 7 AM I was ready to nap some more. I have to move all the way to the back of the couch as the puppies jump up on the side and try to get me. I have to tuck my blankets tight around me, as they will pull them off. They try to pull my pillows off too. If I open my eyes and look at them, they get all excited and jump up and down and woof at me! By 7:30, we were all napping!
Mommy Ting has been in the doghouse! She climbs over the gate and into the puppy room and wakes the puppies up when they are napping! Mommy Roanna peeks over the gate and watches! Causes quite the puppy ruckus, as the puppies love their Mommy Doodles to come and play! The girls are pretty much finished weaning them but they go in and play with them. I think the two Ting girls have been watching their Mommy climb and have started to climb out of the X-pens! I always seem to have a couple of escape artists and they are usually the girls!
We have the stomach flu here! My daughter was home sick with it yesterday. ‘Tis the bug season for sure! I got some pictures but it has taken me awhile to get them downloaded. A few didn’t really come out that well. Sorry about that. Sometimes they look okay on my camera screen but then when I download them they are a bit blurry.
Red Boy - This boy is still available!
Blue Boy “Jasper”
Green Boy “Darwin”
Black Girl
Pink Girl
Black Boy “Sachiel Blue”
Chocolate Girl “Millie”
I was so bummed that this one came out blurry! Ting Chocolate girl was curled in my lap while I was doing Roanna Chocolate Girl so I plopped her up there for a couple of pictures!
