Title: Bringing Toys For Puppies
Post by: Gilly on September 13, 2005, 10:21:35 AM
Does anyone else's bitch do this?

Buttons has now started regurgitating EVERYTHING I give her, obviously just being a good Mummy. This morning I thought it was safe to give her a gravy bone...no chance! straight to the box trying to get in to give it to her babies  :rolleyes:

Last night she went up to my daughters bedroom and stole a soft toy from her bed, came downstairs and stood at the box until I let her in, she then presented her babies with a little soft penguin toy to play with  :D

It is normal, Lottie did this for a while. Are Butty's babies charging around yet or is it still a slighlty wobbly walk  :P .

They are charging around like little maniacs  :ph34r: lovely little maniacs I hasten to add  :D

They are really quite bright and coming out and weeing on paper now (have been since 3 weeks) so hopefully they will be 99% paper trained by the time they go to their new homes  ;)

Ruby did the opposite - she used to pinch all the soft toys I put in the puppy pen until the novelty wore off :lol:

 :lol:  :lol: Well normally Buttons would steal the toys and take them to her bed but she seemed to think they needed something new to play with and didn't approve of my choice of toys, Mother knows best  :lol:

Ours were hysterical when they were learning to go on paper, they would put all four paws on the paper but their bum would be off it, still they meant well  :lol: .

Once, we were feeding the pups and we noticed that the pet food cupboard door was open, four of them had gone in for a look and the next thing we saw was a pup dragging out a tub of unopened cat food followed closely by three pups obviously thinking that all their christmases had come at once, me and mum were crying with laughter at the expression on their faces and the speed that their tails were wagging  :lol: . They didn't eat any as we took it away before they got the chance (much to their dissapointment).

Awww what a fab Mum she is.

Glad to hear the puppies are doing well. Sounds as though Buttons is a natural.

Obviously a great mom Gilly :D

I gave one of my girls a pig's ear the other day. Within 30 seconds she was back looking for another one :blink: After I called her greedy for scoffing the pigs ear so quickly I realised she had taken it to her kids :D

A couple of years ago of our's  pinched a chicken wing from the fridge when I opened it to get the milk. She took it to the puppy pen and came to get me to show me what she had done. She sat there very happily watching her 2 1/2 week old puppies licking the chicken wing. :lol:

She is a wonderful mother  ;)

I actually removed the penguin as I was worried about the puppies being able to chew through it. I left it with some other toys at the side of the box as I have to change the toys often as everything gets covered in food  :rolleyes:
Well last night at midnight I was in the kitchen, came through and she was standing at the side of the box so I thought "Oh, she must want in to feed them",

NOPE!! she had the penguin in her mouth again and in she went and gave it to them  :lol:  :lol:

That is so sweet.

I wonder what is wrong with my sharon. She steals her babies' treats  B) though they are 10 months old. LOL
