7 week itch!

pups are 7 weeks old on tuesday and i am in a quandary, as i love them and at the same time, i hope toby finds some wonderful homes for them!

toby has said one can stay, but i'm not sure......i'm also not sure whether i would prefer a boy or a girl? hmmm.......

we've had a lot of visitors, friends, family and prospective puppy owners.

ronnie has been over a few times which has been wonderful. he also brought a couple of cages for the kitchen

toby built a fabulous run in mary's garden - i hope he asked her...... she seems very happy to see the pups









over the past few weeks we've been weaning the pups off their milk and weaning me of milking!

their teeth are very sharp and i have had a few little cuts as a result. up until last week, i was only feeding them once or twice a day and only for about a minute as i could not take much more. oddly though, i've started regurgitating my food for them, not quite sure why i do this, leaves me the option of starving until the next meal or eating it again.....not my favourite i'm relieved to say that i'm not milking now. but more importantly i am begining to look like my old self as my teats have reduced in size, phewee!











on that side of things, i'm now having daily walks into the fields which is wonderful. may be not as long as i was used to, but a lovely contrast to the garden, which although beautiful, i do like to stretch my legs and chase the odd rabbit - in fact on saturday night while walking with tobe we spotted a rabbit and so i gave chase.....sadly i am out of shape and even though my teats are smaller they swing round like shopping bags between your legs.

here are the pups:

chebbi (girl)

deka (boy)

grogan (boy)

mazoe (girl)

ndola (girl)

pemba (girl)

salisbury (girl)

sambona (girl)

selous (boy) now called "hoofy"
