When the puppies were 3 weeks old they
all went to meet our older dachsies.
So they moved to our living room -
with their home, the litter box.
Their mom Mimmi was a little worried
at first, and she did not want to let our other dachsies come near the
puppies.
So also Mimmi's grandmother Tiitu stayed
further away:
But after a while Mimmi stopped worrying.
So finally our old Elli got her turn to clean the puppies.
She did god work...
Very carefully!
Soon the puppies started walking around.
We put an extra (machine washable) carpet on the floor, which was too slippery
for the puppies.
On the carpet they also got lunch,
served by mom ; )
And after the meal - a nap
The puppies get solid food several times
a day
they eat eagerly and it gets crowded
around the food ; )
and messy...
And then again: power off ; )
Tucked like sardines...
During the week the puppies got their
nails clipped and got some worming paste.
The red girl did not like the paste!
Now all our dachsies take part of taking
care of the puppies
mom gives milk, puppies father Hiski
and our old Elli take care of cleaning ; )
Now the puppies are learning new things
very fast.
This week they have started to play
with some toys.
