Good morning everyone - the Wildcards are 7 weeks old today. Yesterday we continued with the collar and lead training and all are happily trailing round with little leads attached. In a survey this morning when the decided to shout to go out at 6 a.m. I did a feeding survey and can report that for breakfast they preferred Tesco's sardines to Waitrose minced best beef - which should be a relief for new owners when they arrive with you.
All puppies have been prepared for showing by being taken one at a time over to the golf clubhouse/hotel and being introduced to the scariest men possible! They are definitely not afraid of anyone - that's the puppies, not the men golfers. Dianne's River Song loves the squeaky ball already and has already had a few game with Annika. Lottie continues to look more and more like Ditto every day and Maggie is a real adventurer. I have water all round the house and Maggie and River came face to face with a duck for the first time yesterday. Bandit is already practising to be a stud dog and has being practising on Beryl the two legged (not his fault) furry badger and Felicity the furry pheasant. Phoebe is the gang leader of the litter. They have a grass run with a wooden kennel and a big, felt kennel. The big felt kennel did have a large rosette attached - one I had for the General Election. Yesterday the gang of four started to fight over who would have the rosette. So they already have the message that rosettes are to be fought over at all costs.
Ditto has been a marvellous Mum and really attentive without being pushy parent
