Early birds


The girls are 6 weeks old now, very vocal,  very mobile, very hungry,  and very much awake.
The morning routine has settled down to be-
06.40 approx - Alarm bark  from Owain at early dog walkers sets off the puppy alarm chorus, which cannot be ignored even from upstairs in our bedroom,
06.42 - so we sleepwalk down to open the front door and the puppy gate, stand aside as they rush outside like a flood, for the first wee of the day, and associated ablutions.
06.44 - Breakfast is served, in three huge bowls, not so messy now, they’ve learned to stand outside the dish most of the time, and a cup of tea each for us
06.50 - I then have a bit of time to clean up the overnight mess of shredded newspaper, clean up any poo, put down clean and change the fleecy bedding,
07.00 - back outside to help supervise playtime, we are constantly counting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7- where’s No7?? not the same one, but they are so quick now, even chasing the chickens this afternoon, and squeezing under the shed
