Days 16 & 17 for the HG pups - let the potty training begin!

We have 'walking'!  The pups are really starting to try to walk (still mostly just staggering), and even beginning the tiniest bit of play with each other and Lyla - which consists of biting Lyla's legs, or each others' ears, heads, butts, or legs like little zombies.

Today marked the first day of litter box training - which will really progress quickly as they become more coordinated.  For now, it's just a matter of us 'catching' them when they're awake and thinking of doing some business, and putting them in the boxes.

Just like Lyla's first litter, these guys look like they're going to be very agile and coordinated before long - they all figured out how to climb out of the litter box without a fuss the very first time!  (Usually pups hate the boxes to begin with and get 'stuck' in there and cry and fuss quite a lot, but not Lyla's pups!)

On to some pics from the last 2 days:

And...then joined by everyone else.

Lyla loves snuggling with them.

Concorde - soaking up the heat under the heat lamp, so he's not inclined to get in on the cuddle fest.

Perfect lineup - from back:  Concorde, Dingo, Zoot, Rabbit, Patsy

Concorde inch-wormed his way to the middle of the pile.

They're getting SO big - they collectively weigh in at 12.71lbs, so they're just over 1/2 of what Lyla weighs!

Silly mama!

  1. Little do you realize that Rabbit is just quietly locating poor Lyla's jugular, waiting until she has the coordination to actually – go for it!

    1. Bwahahaha! That is hilarious!!!! You're so right...as soon as she's coordinated, and grows some sharp, pointy teeth!
