Libby Puppy’s 24Sept12 week 5

Now the fun begins, the puppy’s after 4 weeks get in to everything. They figure out how to run, play, tug, hide and anything else that we could imagine.

 

There first real moment when it was “ok” to escape the box
Sleeping moments now are short and far between… 11th commandment never wake a sleeping puppy
First game of tug with the towel
Look I got it 🙂
Crawling under the bed… Sage’s favorite place
Wow this play can be tiring
Sage found the shoes
The introduction to the “crate”
Again… never wake a sleeping puppy

Libby Puppy’s 24Sept12 first 3 weeks

I should have posted this many months ago.

Here are a few photos from the first 4 week of Libby and Nigel puppy’s born 24Sept2012

The Boy (Charlie) was born at 12:00AM weighted in 1.4lbs and the Girl (Sage) was born at 1:45am weighted in 1.2lbs.

Siblings side by side
The first toy of many to play with

Boy weigh in….
Girl weigh in…
The eyes are finally opening
Big yawn…
Starting to figure out how to move
The look…

This was the look before the puppies figured out how to really move those little legs.

 

 

Libby From My Shoulder View

Prior to Libby going on maternity leave she and I decided to learn the new AKC Rally signs that came out April 2012.

The last night of class our instructor (Pat Ames) developed a course for us. This was not only because I wanted to run Libby through a course before her maternity vacation, but also because I wanted to video Libby from my view.

Here is the list of signs used for the course:
