Sir Darnley's P, 5th. week

Sir Darnley's "P" - 5th. week

18.05.2005 Our babies are now 4 weeks old and both have reached the kilo: The girl weighs 1066 gr, the boy 1040 gr. Both are agil and fit on their paws. It is time to introduce them to grandma Kylie (in the middle) and aunt Orla (left) and to get to know the garden. Mom Nellie (right) accept this reluctantly.

The very wide girl learned to move amazingly quick. Still lumbering she researches the garden.
Luxury of a small litter: "single beds"!
	20.05.2005 All my dogs learn the command "millimillimilli".
	21.05.2005 It is still cold in the evenings in the garden. But between mom Nellie and grandma Kylie the boy rests safe and worm.
	22.05.2005 On the slippery wooden floor mooving is still difficult.
	23.05.2005 In the meantime the puppies are fully integrated into the family. Here grandma Kylie checks if Nellie has cleaned her little daughter properly.
	The boy is the first to discover the grass as play ground.
	Actually the garden is a play school at the moment. This chaffinch regularly sings from the neighbours roof, The redstarts are already fledge and our blackbird this year has decided to nesting in the weatherwise unfavourable eaves.

Now also the girl has found out that it is lovely to play around in the small holes in the grass.
	Barbeque season has started!

24.05.2005 Finally there is proper food! Thrilled the puppies are jumping at the first mash.
