Small changes

You notice tiny changes in the pups almost hourly. For some time now they have been walking, they seem to spend a lot of time sitting up and watching goings on from the whelping box. The seemingly endless procession of Berners walking past and sticking their noses in checking to see if they are ok must provide them with hours of entertainment. Reba is very tolerant of these visits. The pups try and play with each other but they are bit uncoordinated so lots of falling over and yelps of indignation. They certainly are a lot noisier, growls, barks, yips all manner of high pitched attempts at sounding like a real dog. The introduction of puppy mush food is a success, they cant get enough of it, if they don't eat it they swim in it. Same goes for the water bowl, clumsy attempts at lapping ends with watery sneezes but they soon got the hang of it and were expert at lapping a bowl of goats milk. But the best sign of progress so far is tail wagging. It started properly last night. Frantic side to side beating of their little tails as we spent some time giving them fuss. Soon they will be climbing out of the box, at the rate they are growing they probably have already!
