22nd May - five weeks old

Freddie is four weeks old and Benson is five weeks old.

The main 'activities' of the day are still sleeping.....

   

 

......and feeding.  They also enjoy drinking milk with Summer.

 

The puppies have enjoyed the warm weather again and spend most of the day outside.

Benson enjoyed his first game of football.

   

 

They also enjoyed sleeping under the gazebo.

Today I had to make a trip to the vets and decided to take the puppies along for the journey.

Isis went along for moral support.  They were not phased by the experience  - Freddie seemed quite happy playing with Benson as the photograph shows.  Thankfully there was no mess at the end of the journey which is a promising start.

They will continue to have short trips over the next few weeks.

 

Today Benson tried his first show stand - it is difficult to stand still when you are five weeks and two days old - but a piece of chicken helps!

 

Posing for a head shot is much easier!

 

 

This evening the puppies have enjoyed playing in the garden.

The puppies are becoming more mischievous and now enjoy playing in the clean shredded paper.

 

It is also soft for playing games of rough and tumble in.

 

Libby came to see what was happening.

 

Soon it was time to go to sleep again.  Freddie snuggled up with the soft toys.

 

Benson decided to chill out on the cool tiles.

 

 

Today at Bath Championship Show (Judge: Mrs JE Rhodes) both the puppies sires won their class.

Freddie's sire - Ch Brensham Newsflash - gained a 1st in Veteran Dog.

Benson's sire - Sh Ch Shardanell Castaspell - gained a 1st in Open Dog and also gained his 4th CC and Best of Breed.

Well done to both!
