Every free moment we have, we spend in the car, travelling up and down to see the puppies, who are growing at an alarming rate now. Since we were last there, all their eyes have opened, although they're pretty murky still so I'm not sure they can see much. The picture above and the 2 below is of 2 boys, one of which will be my sister's.
To say that Jake is besotted with them, would be an understatement. He just can't get enough of cuddling and kissing them. Their little noses are like velvet and the skin between their toes is so soft...
Blue eyed boy...
Laila continues to be a wonderful mommy, she even covers them with newspaper to keep them warm at night and she is a star feeder. It's hard to believe that she'll start to wean them in 2 weeks time...
Puppy love...
Like babies, the puppies get so warm and comfortable, with their full bellies, that they fall asleep while feeding, often using teats like dummies...
Jake's new best thing is picking the puppies up after they've fed and letting them suckle on his nose/ears/cheek/finger...
But after they've fed and once they realise that Jake's got nothing for them, they just want to sleep...
Look how big they're getting...
And that's it. Jake was most upset about not being picked for the rugby team for tomorrow's tournament, but I guess it's good for them to learn to take turns. The tournament's also a bit of a drive and they're only playing in one 10 minute game. I'm quite relieved at the thought of a lie in!! The weather's also not going to be great, so I'm thrilled.
Jake has a play date this afternoon after school and I'm going to the oral hygienist, which is always fun. We have no plans for tomorrow; I'm seeing Danie tomorrow night. Looking forward to a slightly calmer weekend. Hope you all have a restful one ahead too.
Much love,

I can almost smell that puppy breath
O, they (and he) are very cute indeed :)
Hey Cat - LOVE puppy breath! Jake thinks they smell like coffee :)

Beautiful puppies. I hope Jake (and mama) won't have a meltdown when the puppies have to go.
Have a nice and restful weekend. I have a busy one ahead: pilates, 5km walk tomorrow and Revlon Choc 4km on Sunday (still hoping I can do 8km, fingers crossed)
Hey hey
We'll I'm all caught up, and I expect my puppy in the post asap, thank you ;o)
How gorgeous are those puppies. Peter doesn't want the heartache of losing another dog, but the hens just don't cut the mustard when it comes to cute, cuddly, and eventually, trained!
It's super too to see how Jake is progressing, and I'm sure I am only one of the many voices that are supporting you.
Hope your weekend has been good, cheers, Roo x
