I could hear all this squeaking going on outside, went out and she had 3 of them outside she needs to stop reading Heat and OK and get some Baby Books I think!!! They are NOT old enough to go out for a walk yet

Took some piccies of them tonight when they had had their tea and were settled down, they are getting a bit more active now, so next week will probably be chasing them all over to get them in bed like proper baby norties

oh great pup pic's wonderful
they are so big, and that ink is really big bet his always first to the food,
they are trying to go for a walk aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww up front arnt they lol lol

I tell you, she is an excellent mum when washing them and stuff, but as for the rest of it - well I'll find her trying to get her hair and nails done with them all trying to follow her and falling over their noses and stuff
I wormed them all today as well, I waited till she had fed them and they were all snuggled down, grabbed them one by one, wrapped them in a towel, opened their little mouths and in it went. They weren't best pleased but soon went back to sleep all cuddled up together
Also wormed Cariad and Maelona, who were NOT amused.

lol yeah think sometime the mum thinks your there to pick them up and put them back
crystal was like it
she's a good mum though
oh i love doing that worming them they pull the most sillest faces

Yeah one minute fast asleep buried in the paper, next minute being poisoned, eugh!!!

poor pups nasty granny

It is for their own good, I have followed a really strict worming programme with Cariad whilst she was pregnant, it has cost me nearly £60 in wormers altogether, so no point in letting it fall by the wayside now.

They re looking so big now and fab, your doing such an amazing job.

Oh Thank you Kirstie, that is a lovely thing to say
They are due to be wormed this morning again, it is a 3 day programme!! They will hate me soon and dive for cover when they see me, at the moment it is big stretches and waggy tails

I love them all and can't wait to visit them

Oh my goodness they are beautiful, I don't think I would get anything else
done as I would be gazing at them all day

I do a fair bit of gazing I must admit, but I don't want Lona getting jealous, she is now sharing the yard again with Cariad and being allowed to put her head right in and look at the pups, so have to keep giving her lots of attention as well.

June, I've just cracked my sides laughing at your last post regarding Maelona ! I just had this lovely mental image of Maelona peering into the den where all the mini Norties are snuggled up with Mummy Norty (Cariad), a bit like the fox hound in Jeremy Todd (Beatrix Potter)!

You are doing such a brill job, esp with the worming. It is SO important - as you know, when we got Hal he had not been wormed, despite being told the contrary, and having lost a horse as well to worms I am fanatical about worming, so very glad to see you are too, and that you are worming the Big Norties as well !

Those pups are the biggest most gi-normous I have ever seen !! Especially that ink mark, he is a WHOPPER !! Cariad looks so calm and relaxed and in control in her photo, she is obviously a natural and brilliant mum, I am so pleased this has all worked out so well for you and her. Hal will be beaming down from across the Bridge in approval, I am sure !

xx nikki xx

Nikki, she is JUST like the fox hound as well peering in at Madam esconsed with her babies around her
We have had Free Association today and everything has gone well, Lona is allowed to Look but NOT Touch and seems happy with that at the moment.
I detected signs of an imminent Break Out today, they seemed ready to try and scale the various barriers to prevent this, however they fell asleep on the job, which was extremely amusing,little baby norties snoring quietly halfway through their Escape Plot
They have had a purpose built ramp made for them specifically so they don't take up sky diving and this has now been put into place. I think mummy taking them into the big wide world yesterday has had repercussions and they all want to go
So I expect to see a cluster of little faces at the door any time soon. One more worming day left now, and then they will start liking me again

They won't bear a grudge June, I'm sure !! I hope not anyway ... else you will awaken one night to find them all glaring balefully at you, having broken down the back door !!
