PUPPY DIARY Week Three Sh Ch Shardanell Castaspell x Summeramba Carbonara 1 dog puppy born on 17th April 2007 Registered Name: Kendaamber One Good Reason 1st May - 2 weeks old Today I received a phone call from a friend with another singleton puppy. She asked me if I would allow "Freddie" to join Summer's litter. Freddie was born on 23rd April and weighs 1lb 4 ozs Summer was more than happy to welcome him to her family and Freddie soon made himself at home. He is pictured below snoozing happily next to William.
2nd May Today William started to take notice of his litter mates. As the puppies are becoming more active I decided to remove their coloured collars and mark them with oil pastels. From left to right - Hamish, Harry, Hugo, William, Humphrey and Freddie. The puppies are known within our family as "The Allsorts" as they very in size and colour.
Just after this photo was taken William wobbled his way across the whelping box and sat on my lap. It was a wonderful moment.
The puppies are continuing to gain weight: Hugo (Green) - 2lb 4 ozs Harry (Orange) - 2lb 1 oz Humphrey (Blue) - 2lb 4 ozs Hamish (Brown) - 2lb 7 ozs
Freddie (Black) - 1lb 7 ozs William (Red) - 3lb 15 ozs
The Allsorts!
3rd May Freddie has settled in very well.

4th May William is a very relaxed puppy and enjoyed a cuddle after he had his nails trimmed.
After their daily check up the puppies were all soon fast asleep again.
Summer continues to keep the puppies in beautiful condition.

The Allsorts!
5th May Today Freddie opened his eyes.
The rest of the puppies were wormed for the first time. Summer is good at multi-tasking - and is able to nurse and clean at the same time.
She also still manages a "smile" as William becomes more adventurous by the day!
6th May The H's have become aware of Summer today and after feeds have enjoyed her company.
William enjoys lots of interaction with Summer too.
Today Summer was enjoying some Bio Yoghurt - William came over to investigate - weaning will start shortly.
William also interacts with people and enjoys climbing on laps for a bit of TLC.
He is also happy with his litter mates.
Thank you Margaret, Stephen and of course Harry (Sh Ch Shardanell Castaspell) for our "little bit of magic"!
7th May Today the puppies have enjoyed having toys in their whelping box to climb over.........
to look at........
and to rest on.......
After playing they settled down for a sleep........
Today we said "Goodbye and Good Luck" to Harry and Hugo, who have now gone back to Aya and their litter mates. Harry left us weighing 2lb 14 oz, and Hugo 3lb 1 oz. Hamish and Humphrey will go over the coming days. We will miss them very much.
Summer now has four puppies to care for.
