opened the door from the inner side. They had to push the curtain to come in, but the wind made the curtain fly outside, whipped. So it was
not difficult at all ! I did the same in the end of the afternoon, but I made the door be open only 10 - 15 cm, so the curtain couldn't really fly.
The pups came under it without problems, Brinskhi played with it. Brehael needed time to think that he could come in by going through the
small passing through.
then they came away. I put the cardboard "tunnel" in the veranda doorway, but inside of it I had put some rolling balls. Then I opened the
door. The pups came through without any hesitation, some seemed to like it and got back in it. In the end of the afternoon, I stayed a little
moment with them all outside, then they came back with me ; they had to pass over or under the little red bench between the dining-room
and the kitchen. Some came under, others came over, they jostled and then the bench moved, and some passed between the (moved)
bench and the board. In the evening, I put again the "tunnel" with the rolling balls inside, between the dining-room and the kitchen.
open, and an obstacle in front of them (the carrier box). There had been no problem for all the pups but one, who was staying outside, but 2
pups came back to him and then went again inside the veranda, and the last pup followed them, finding so what he had to do.
but one by one, to weigh each pup and then put him into the playpen to eat. I didn't take care that Borkye was the first to eat, and to eat very
much, then the 2 bitches, when I put Brinskhi in the playpen all the pups were still eating, but when I put Brehael, the plates were
completely empty ... The dry food need a long time to become soaked, it was impossible to give another plate of food to Brehael, so I tried
to give dry food. I let the dry food during a long time, and they seemed to have eaten a little. At noon, I went with them all, and the A-s, inside
the yard, but it started to rain. Neither the pups nor the A-s fled from the rain, but I did. I opened the door of the barn. My barn is such a mess
that I prefer that my dogs don't go inside without me, there's so many things that could make them hurt themselves. All my adult dogs really
love my barn, because my car is there, in fact they love especially my car ... The pups didn't know my barn, they discovered it, but they stayed
near me, and near the door. They came outside to play with a stump near the barn door, they had never noticed it before. Then I wanted to
come back home. The pups hurried up to the veranda door, I opened it and they hurried up inside the veranda, while I was still outside !
Before going out, I had prepared an obstacle between the kitchen and the dining-room : a stepladder, with the board so they couldn't go
beside it, and with the little red bench so they couldn't pass under the first step. They were so much in a hurry to reach their playpen - or to
reach their plates inside of it ... - that they managed to pass in any possible way, under or over the first step, beside it by jostling each other
and everything, but some who had already reached the dining-room were coming back to the stepladder once again !
them : no problem for all the pups, but one of them went on the side when the door opened wide because of the wind, but then he came
back to the box to see a sibling coming through. But in the end of the afternoon, while they just had to enter by a small doorway (half-open
door), 2 pups stayed outside, crying and putting their front legs on the glazing of the veranda door, they didn't find the way to come in ; so I
gave my hand to them, through the doorway, calling them : Brinskhi understood and found the right way, but not Brevillenne, I had to come
out and take her.
into the dining-room from the cardboard "tunnel" but with a small way. Borkye and then Bocquefeuille went quickly, Brevillenne and then
Brehael seemed to have difficulties to know what they had to do but they found, while Brinskhi didn't move from the top of the first step,
outside. I went out, took him and put him inside the cardboard box, he entered immediately.
one who still struggled when I put the worming tablet inside his mouth. At noon, in the yard, they played a lot, discovering new things,
especially the fences against the wall. Then, they had to go through the folding table with stools to reach the dining-room, that was a long
obstacle, but in general they came quickly out of it by its side.
eat their own dry food if it wasn't wet enough, but they ate in the plates of Arslan and Andeo while I was giving the third, to Andelko. Arslan
immediately left his plate to the pups, trying to eat with Andelko, while Andeo continued to eat together with the pups - Andeo is the chief of
the A-s. I lifted up the third plate for Andelko and Arslan, the pups had already overturned the first plate, the one for Arslan, and when all the
plates were empty, all B-s and A-s searched dry food into the grass... At noon, I gave the food to the B-s in the yard, immediately after they
had gone out, staying with them to ask to the adults not to eat. The pups let a little food, they ate that when they returned in their playpen. In
the yard, I went over the stones pile, Bocquefeuille, Brehael and Brinskhi (and the A-s too) went up too, and they stayed there a long time.
After they had played a lot in the yard, they came home ; they had to pass over a flowerpot (that I had turned over). The bitches came easily,
Brinskhi and Brehael too but one of them had pushed the door and so could go on the side ; Borkye renounced, he went back behind the
door and stayed there, I took him and made him come over the flowerpot, with my hand under his body.
opened the door with an obstacle behind and another at the front, so the doorway was narrow enough. Brinskhi tried to pass over the
bottles, but didn't succeed. Bocquefeuille was just behind him, she found immediately the right way, then Brinskhi followed her, Borkye did
the same. Brevillenne was like Brinskhi, trying in vain to go over the bottles in front of me ; I called her with my hand near the right way, and
she found how she could go. Brehael didn't want to come in, I thought that the reason was that the door was moving a lot because of the
strong wind, although I had put obstacles. I took Brehael and put him in the "corridor". Like Brinskhi and Brevillenne, he was wanting to go
over the bottles, but he couldn't ; I drew his attention to the right way and he found immediately. In the end of the afternoon, I put again about
the same "problem", between the dining-room and the kitchen, because several pups had shown some difficulties ; at the beginning, they
hesitated a little, then all the pups came in and out from one room to the other. In the evening, I did the same again, and the pups didn't
hesitate anymore.
plates were left perfectly empty. I stayed in the yard with them all a long time, then the pups came home with exactly the same "corridor"
than the previous day : this time, they didn't hesitate during a long time, some didn't hesitate at all, the way in zigzags was assimilated. They
found 2 bowls of dry food in the dining-room, near their playpen but out of it, and they ate very well their dry food. In the yard, they drank in the
same time that the A-s, the A-s never chased the pups, even from their food plates. In the evening, I gave them only dry food : Brehael and
Brevillenne didn't ate, the others were hungry enough to eat all.
Bocquefeuille, Borkye and Brinskhi ate very much dry food, the other very little. They still suck the mother too. In the end of the afternoon, I
put a kind of pedals, that moved up and down when the pups passed over. They didn't mind at all, some got back to play with it, making a
pedal rock with a leg.
in the box by the half-open side (half-open because of the plank) and then they could go out into the dining-room. I was thinking that they
would have some difficulties, but I was wrong. Brevillenne went first, then Brehael, then Bocquefeuille, then Borkye, while Brinskhi was
staying in the kitchen to play with something. When I wanted him to come, I took him and put him just in front of the half-open side, and he
went in without any hesitation.
rather difficult. Bocquefeuille went over without any hesitation, but she cheated ! She passed along the wall, over a part that was broad
enough and nearly without hole ! Brinskhi imitated her and so had no problems. Borkye succeed to pass through the "holes", by jumping
rather than walking ; Brevillenne seemed to have her legs sticked inside the holes, but I didn't have time to come to her that both she and
Brehael were already in the dining-room. It was a bit difficult, but none of the pups had renounced. I put the radiator again, and in the same
way, in the end of the afternoon, all the pups came over quickly, and without using the part without holes, even Bocquefeuille. Brevillenne
and Brehael still didn't eat dry food, or ate very little, the others ate very well.
cardboard box over it and the plank so the pups couldn't pass over the tunnel. The pups were wet because of the rain. The 2 bitches went
through before I had the time to see them, Brehael followed them immediately, one of the others (I didn't think to look and know who he
was) came through too, but the other was crying in front of the plank (the tunnel was beginning inside the kitchen on about 20 cm, and the
pup was staying and crying in the corner made by the tunnel and the plank). I put him in the beginning of the tunnel and called him from the
other end, and then he came. In the end of the afternoon, I put again the tunnel, the other cardboard box and the plank in the same way, but
they tried and succeeded to go over the second box and the tunnel, crushing the second cardboard box. In the evening, I noticed than
Brehael and Brevillenne ate very well dry food, like the others, so I decided to give only dry food the following days.
Brinskhi went over immediately, before I had time to come into the veranda (and to take photos) ; the others showed some difficulties, but
they succeed to pass, Bocquefeuille quickly, then Borkye, and then Brevillenne and Brehael. In the end of the afternoon, I put again the
same flowerpot, they had less difficulties.
shouting so much during the trip and when I stopped, that I took one carrier box, with them inside, for a walk in town, and then I did the
same with the second. The pups staying in the car were shouting and shouting ... But what a silence during the walk ! Then I took Fango for
a walk, when we came back to my car, the pups were silent, they were probably tired and so they were sleeping. They shouted again only
when I stopped my car in front of my barn, as if they knew we were back home ! They slept very well the afternoon ! In the end of the
afternoon, I put a rounded obstacle, they had to go over it, they didn't climb but they threw themselves as a kind of jump, and they
succeeded to went over. Brinskhi played with the tunnel that was lying in the dinning-room.
