Did this week fly by to everyone, or just me? We have been really busy - largely due to helping out with farm-sitting for a family we know. Our responsibility was milking 12 goats and 2 cows twice a day, and making sure they were all fed and healthy. The family is getting back today (at least, that's the plan) so I think we are done with that, and now I should have more time to spend with Fiona and the puppies. The puppies have opened their eyes! (At least, most of them have - Jackson and Lancelot still haven't, but that is normal. They don't all open at the same time.) They still can't see or hear much, but it won't be long before their eyes will clear up to those wonderful, amazingly intense eyes which are such a mark of the Border collie. For now though, they are dull blue and obviously very cloudy still. All the pups are getting big and fat. Cleone has a good milk supply, but I do have to make sure she feeds them enough, especially during the heat of the day, when she would rather be relaxing in a cool hole in the dirt than nursing a pile of squirming puppies. They are all becoming very chubby though, which is excellent! I guess I don't have a lot to say about this past week... There have been a couple of much-needed storms, which are great for our pastures, but do cause some issues with tracking tons of dirt into the doghouse and making it a bit more uncomfortable to check on the pups. Still, that's just part of raising dogs, and I am thankful for the rain, thankful that the puppies are all healthy, and thankful for the opportunity to raise such great dogs. Enjoy the video and pictures!
