On Monday Nov 15th the pups turned 6 weeks old. What a difference a week makes when you are a puppy. They are now quite mobile and always looking for new challenges. They love to escape their x-pen area. Then they are off to explore or just charge around in the bigger room, that was once my office. Once in the bigger area they run, jump, climb, eat anything they can find and try to get into spaces that they should not be. They particularly like shredding cardboard, paper towels, pee pads, facial tissues and chewing on feet with or without shoes. They are great explorers of everything new. Anything added to their realm is sniffed, climbed over, and tasted. They particularly like freshly washed bedding and towels. The pups are weaned from mom Sarah and eating puppy chow and goats milk mush with much enthusiasm. We are not sure Sarah is relieved, but she should be since we all saw how rough they could be on her. Sara is now relaxing, hopefully regaining her slim figure, and settling into her own retirement.
Last week Brian, one of our Board members came to Salt Lake City from LA to help with the pups and has documented their lives and growth. He took some great pictures and videos that you can see on the front page of Greysave.org website and on Facebook. He also built a puppy identification table located on the GreySave Website and on Facebook titled “Telling the puppies Apart”. In a few weeks the pups will be getting ready for adoption. That is both sad and exciting. For now, they are working on their hunting and agility skills and most of all their scary growling and barking voices. The truly great news for us is that they sleep all night and take a couple naps during the day. Stay tuned to the puppy camera and see if you can figure out what their personalities will be as they develop. I know most people recognize Cobalt, Smoke, Tess and maybe Slate but the other three boys – Nick, Coal and Indy are very special in their own quieter way. The picture below were taken of the events leading up to age 6 weeks.
