1 hour and 50 minutes) ; the following pup was here about 15 minutes later, while the 4th waited about 1/2h before coming
and the 5th one was here 20 minutes later. Then I had to wait nearly 2 hours before the following birth, while the 7th one came
about 1/4 hour later. It was then nearly midnight.
bed on 03/05/10, I put another one, less high, so they could go back inside it more easily. On 04/05/10, the pups went in and
out of their bed easily, generally they were following their mother. They began to sit. On 05/05/10 in the morning, it was obvious
that they heard me when I opened the door. On 06/10, they began to go out of their pen, just a little. On the following days, they
went out of their pen more and more and further and further. They often met my other dogs and even my she-cat (on 11/05/10,
Flunyi came into the kitchen because he was interested by the cat, I took the cat and showed her to him, then he went to her).
lapped up, but they preferred to lick the milk on the head or on the legs of their siblings ! Later, I saw Fill-Finn
lapping the water (for Bocquefeuille), and this several time in the day. While I was cleaning the pen, Flunyi went to
me, searching to get in touch with me, then Fenn-Sye did the same. They often did their business out of their bed,
and sometimes out of their pen.
their business outside very quickly too (but of course they did at home too). On 15/05/10, the big Flinskih was so hungry that he
managed to catch the dry food of her mother, located highly. So I gave them dry food (with no more milk nor water) since the
following day.
tunnel. They showed hesitation all day long, so I put the same tunnel the following
day, in the evening there was no more hesitation. On 21/05/10, I put another tunnel, a
cardboard tunnel, but I put the previous one above as an obstacle to make them go
through the cardboard tunnel, while I was wondering if they could try to go above the
lower tunnel, so through the upper one : some pups did. In the garden, they went far
from the door, they really liked to be outside.
so they had to go over it, but they show so much difficulties
to climb over it that I turned it so they could go under it,
over/under some rods. Finally, some pups succeeded to
climb over it. On 23/05/10, they met my she-cat Kaerenn,
intrigued ! I put a kind of fence lying on the ground, there
was no real difficulty and they didn't show any hesitation ;
the following day, I put the same fence upon some things
so it was a little higher (especially between the wood
pieces), but they didn't mind too. On 25/05/10, in the
morning I put the same fence under the tyre, but it was too
high, only a few pups succeeded to go over it, the others
managed to go aside, so till the end of the day, I put the
tyre lying on the ground, and they went through it without
any difficulty. The following morning (26/05/10), I put the
tyre but vertically, they didn't show any hesitation too.
Kaerenn stayed with them a long time.
walk on the box, but the fences moved when they walked and they could go down before the end ! On
28/05/10, I put the little tunnel but with a carpet on it, so the pups had to push the carpet to go out of the
tunnel : they showed a lot of difficulties even at the end of the day, and they generally tried and succeeded
to go over the tunnel instead of through it. So on 29/05/10, I put the tyre vertically, with the same carpet,
they couldn't go over the obstacle and they went through more easily ; nonetheless, it wasn't without
hesitation, so I did the same on 30/05/10 too.
31/05/10, first with just an angle : the pups didn't showed
any hesitation. Every day till the 04/06/10, I increased the
difficulty, with more angles, but the pups seemed to have
understood they just had to follow this kind of passage. It
seemed to be very easy to them.
and which was moving up and down when they went on it. This didn't disturb them.
So the following day I put another thing, a large and long tunnel, they didn't mind
too.
this. On 07/06/10, I put them in the carrier boxes in the car during a few minutes. The following day I
did the same but then I drove my car during a few minutes. I did the same every day till 10/06/12,
during a longer time. Nothing was to be related when they were at the vet.
in the doorway, but this time they showed difficulties, it was queer !
On 13/06/10, I went at the top of the stone pile to make them climb
on it, they did without any hesitation. On 14/06/10, I tried again the
hard zigzag in the doorway, this time they succeeded easily to find
the right way. On 15/06/10, I put a pallet in the doorway, it was not
difficult.
began to gather cherries, they were under the trees and they began to eat cherries (I found stones in their droppings during several days).
Unluckily, I injured myself and it became hard for me to do all things I had to do. The pups (and all my other dogs) were nice enough to let
me be, but I couldn't do all that I would have wanted to do. And misfortune followed me and my health became worse and worse day after
day, it was very difficult for me to do anything. Then the seven pups became the beloved pets of seven new homes.
