John, 30. December 2008

To day he was on his first show, and he did very well, BOB puppy :)

I can see all my effords to train this puppy from start has been successful.

All three of them got equal training when they were together, and it takes time, but the reward is worth it !

Below, John, taken today.

It has been a busy week. John is still here.. I have got e-mails from John's sisters :) with pictures.

Here is a picture of "Tove", called Melissa.

Thank you so much, Linda, for this picture.

and also a beautiful picture of "Tone", called Dina.

Thank you very much for this picture, Gunn :)

And below is a picture of John, taken last weekend with my grandchild.

Here is the cheme for week 11 ( under ):

In addition to this, John has met strange children, helicopter, ambulance and a policecar !!

He has been alone in the house for the first time, 2 hours, and it went out fine.

He has been with me on job the whole week, and had my best friend and also my daughter and grand-daughters living here

while I was on a show in Denmark. John is a joy to bring with me in the job situation. If he gets my coat, he just fell asleep !

John 5. Nov 2008

Since John became the last puppy to remain in the house, he has been with me to work every day during the week.

To day he is 10 weeks old, and we have been in to town and met lots of peole, but still not a person with beard or sack on back !

He has not experied lifts yet, as it is not allowed to take him into the ware houses. I will take him to an official building next week, so he can try it out.

Yesterday we were in a huge building place, wiht all kinds of machines, and there were lots of noise. jon just sat down and looked at it all without reacting...

Here is the cheme for the week:

The Puppies 1. Nov 2008

The second little girl, Tone, has left for her new home today. I know I have found good homes for my sweet "babies", and that they were very much wanted.

Tone will be named "Dina", and she has already got a necklace and a medallion with her name and phonenumber on.

Here is a little video taken today, with the two playing. "Dina" is the one hiding in the blanket :)

The Puppies 28. Oct 2008

The first little girl has left for her new home. I know she and her new owners will love each other, and that she is taken good care of for the rest of her life.

I wish my little "babies" the best in life, and I know she will be happy ! Her name will be "Melissa".

here is the last weeks cheme:

The Puppies 27. Oct 2008

They have been to the vet. today, to get their health sertificates. Guess what !? Everybody in the vets office had to pet the puppies :)

Great ! They get sosialized, OK, and LOVE people ! I hope they continue in the same good way the next weeks. It is very important that they get

positive stimuli EVERY day now. The vet. was satisfied with their health and liked them a lot.

I have made a surprise parcel to follow each pup, but I can not tell what it is, or else it will not be any surprise. I think the owners will love it ! ( I hope so :).

See You :)

The Puppies 26. Oct 2008

It has been a wonderful day with good temperature and sun, and the puppies have been playing in the garden today, as usual.

It is a challenge to find new things to play with, that demands them to use their brains !

Cheese in water, and under a light upside down bowl, etc..

And a helicopter came right over the house while we were playing, and they did not even look at it, because they were busy trying to get the cheese.

The puppies 24. Oct 2008

Since they are ready to deliver 8 weeks old and have a rather sensitive period at least from 8 to 12 weeks,

I have to sosialize the puppies as best as I can before they get into their new homes.....

I found in the book of Gry Løberg about sosializing, a cheme where I can mark out what they have been exposed to during the week.

It will be of value, not only for me, but also for their owners, to see what they have learned.So far this week they have this result:

A little video taken this afternoon, of my male, Sam, and the puppies playing. Sam is very gentle to the puppies, just like a good "nanny" :)

Just look at the video, and have a good time watching !

The puppies 22.Oct 2008

We were on pupytraining today, and that was a new experience ! It went out very well, and so much exciting things to look at, and just positive things.

They got their attention by the trainer, and all the people and a handful of small dogs greeting very gently.

The puppies were very curious, and thought everything was absolutely OK !

We were there for just half an hour, it is a great start, and 15 minutes running outside my house afterwards, they just fell in sleep :)

To morrow they will try to walk in the lead for the first time :)

The puppies 21. Oct 2008

To morrow John is 8 calenderweeks, and the girls will be on wednesday, as John was born 15 minutes before midnight.

Tove arrived one hour later, and Tone one hour after that..

They were a trip to their "grandma" this weekend, and had a great time, with lots of adults and children visitting. They realy get used to peopla and different kind of noises.

To morrow they will be at their first puppy training, all three of them. I look forward to see how they will respond.

Here is some pictures from today, funny with the blue eyes in puppies :)

The week has passed so fast, and the puppies will be 8 weeks next Wednesday.

They have been wormed once more, just in case. It is very nice to see that their tails seem to develope correct, and they have beautiful heads with fine expression.

They are playful and love to be on my lap when I watch TV. They are all in my sofa then :)

They have puppy dry food available, but when they get their dinner, they get " Norwegian Polar", and they LOVE it !!!

I order it from www.norwegianpolar.com

They had a bath again today, and I shot some pictures :)

The puppies 12. Oct. 2008

To day we have been a trip by car, to my dogs nanny, and groomed a couple of her standard poodles.

What a joy to see the puppies and her dogs together !

New noises and people, but the puppies waved their tails, and enjoyed it all.

The puppies 11. Oct. 2008

Two videos taken of the puppies today. They play, and learn bite inhibition, they are carried out almost every time they have slept and eaten, and are really good at doing outside.
Now they become steady in motion pattern, and they are running around on the lawn and having a great time !

Here is a couple of pictures, taken 7. October 2008

The puppies are 6 weeks old.

They have been out driving in cars, playing in the garden, met other dogs and lots of people, children and adults.

They love to play and fight each other, and sleep a lot in between. They have been wormed twice.
