Well, after a beautiful Easter Weekend all the pups left for their new homes and arrived safe and sound and the reports, I have gotten , say that they are all adjusting to their new surroundings. Myself and my american friend left very early Tuesday morning for Zaventem, to catch a plane to Atlanta, a 9.50 hour flight! Kilt, her puppy went with us in the plane and the other one, Kirsch went in the hold and I had never done it before ,but she did great and was waiting for me at baggage claim and admired and petted by everyone as was Kilt on the plane and before we took off at duty free. We finally arrived at 5.00 pm at a park where we met friends and the new owner of Kirsch who also has been a friend for years and he drove up from Philadelphia to Atlanta to pick her up and then drive back there the following day. We had an outside drink and wonderful snacks that other friends brought, so all in all a great ending of a long flight and for me a wonderful litter of 7 beautiful puppies. I wish all the new owners great fun and happiness with their new puppy and I hope they all stay in touch and send me pictures ,which I then will put on the blog again , for all can to see them. When I get back home, I will put more pictures on. Till next week. Greetings from a very stormy Atlanta, which had a devastating tornado close by last night, that killed people and destroyed houses and properties.
Today's pictures. Lots of outdoor fun again and then the weather changed and looked like rain (Well it never did), so we went inside and are having fun there now!!
Today, I picked up my friend from America and she is taking Kilt home, she has ELi's brother Dutch, so he is now an uncle. We took the pups for their first car ride and let them walk one by one on strange terrains and tested a little how they would react. All did great and they went wild and are now exhausted laying outside. What a weather we are having!!!! Tomorrow another car ride.
Well today was check-up day and vaccination day and chip day!!! They all check out really good and all had their shot (distemper and parvo) and got chipped, so now they are officially traceble and got their own paspoort. And then they all fell asleep in the sun!! What a weather we are having and will continue through Easter, awesome!! Saturday we get chipcontrol and DNA taken of one puppy and lots of company to look and play at puppies!!! Eli is off the pups now, but continues to show herself and lets them know she is till their mom, but they are surviving fine without her.

Lots of visitors today and lots of play with grandkids, playing soccer around them and skateboarding and cuddling and out in the yard with them and now they sleep!!! Got their take home buddy today and put it in the kennel with them so it gets the smell of all their siblings.They seems to like them!! They also had their first raw bone and that was a whole other story. The "wolf" came up in those little creatures. It was very interesting to observe!!!
A few more days, for pictures to appear. I just checked the ones I have taken on my camera and their are some cute ones, so sunday night after all the visitors are gone, I will put some one. ( of course if the laptop is fixed, I haven't heard ,so just wait and see!!!)
Pups are doing awesome, growing and getting wild now. Just trying to change their box is a major job, with 7 puppies hanging on the bag. They are so curious right now and then to change the vetbeds!!! They love running around on the wood floor of the whelpingbox, because it makes a different noise and they sound like 7 elephants running around.
Anyway, outside we all go again today and enjoy the fresh air and run around the grass.
Busy weekend ahead with visitors and sunday lots of kids so should be fun for everyone.
No fun without the pictures, but soon I hope......
In the meantime, I had to be out for an hour, they were fed ,had water ,a clean bed and played, but then when I got back, they had totally destroyed their living area. They took the newspapers out from under the vetbeds and had torn them apart and pulled all the blankets around. I took a picture, so hopefully it turned out good and you will see it.
But they had a party while Mom was gone !!!! No harm done.
Now they are outside ,even though it is quite a bit cooler then the past days, but they are tucked in their Igloo and I also put the travel kennel out for them to get used to it. (Thanks Phil for letting me use it, before it goes to America with Kirsch in it!!)
For the rest ,they are turning into little devils, can't get into the kennel without them chewing your feet, or socks or pulling laces, but they are always happy when I join them for a little play and they just crawl up to me and I get licked clean and have to watch the earlobes and nostrils and just all in general, because they sure are biting now.
Poor grandkids that are coming to visit this weekend, all four of them! !Good weather expected, so happy , then we get to go outside!!!
I didn't have time to clean all the kennel panels, because I only have a few hours of sun on the terrace and all of a sudden it was so nice and warm, so got all set up and they spend 5 hours outside and enjoyed the sun!!!
No new pictures yet today!! I had to do some errands and I just observed them and noticed that they are all picking up stuff and chewing one things and really playing hard with each other and then 5 min. later ,they are sound asleep for hours!!!!
Their behavior changes daily which makes it very hard for me to choose pups for all, but between week 6-7 it should be a little easier but still, different place and people and training make a total different dog .
I'll try to get some pictures later or otherwise tomorrow the weather is going to be very nice, so we will go out and take pics then.
