......the puppies are paler than Sally's litter, but this is to be expected due to the pale colour of their parents.
19/12/2009 Sunny is very proud of her puppies....
20/12/2009

The puppies were wormed today...
01/01/2010
...this is slightly earlier than usual, but the puppies are quite large, so we thought we would do it early...
03/01/2010
...in fact, the puppies are 8 days younger than Sally's litter, but the 'W' puppies all weigh more than the 'V' litter...Sunny must have gold-top milk!

The puppies received their first visitors today...
07/01/2010
...they seemed to enjoy the attention.
09/01/2010
The puppies were moved into their pen today...
09/01/2010
...this run gives them more room to play...
09/01/2010
...and give themselves exercise.

The puppies have also been in the kitchen and enjoyed the chance to explore.
