Sunday found Greta wanting a little more freedom from the brood. She would lay down quietly with them and nurse them, but then she wanted to get up and come out to the family room and visit with us. Of course this didn’t last too long and she would be back at the gate to go in with the babies. So, we decided to allow the gate to remain open and give her the freedom to decide where she wanted to be.
Of course this meant that we had to watch Arnie and Anneliese, who, given the chance, would be right in there trying to help and babysit their brothers and little sister! Arnie is so funny. He would really like to go in and baby sit, like he did with Anneliese’s puppies.
So Greta went back and forth and back and forth all day long. By nightfall she had finally settled in with the babies. I’m even considering sleeping in my own bed tonight, but I will see.
I’m still so thrilled to see the babies each day. Their bellies get rounder by the moment and they are healthy and sweet.
Makenna was over and she held Christel for a while. She was wearing a furry vest and little Christel thought that there might be a milk fountain in there and looked around!
I got a close up picture of Curt today. Greta allowed me to. Over the next few days I will try to get one of each of the pups.
Can you believe how much they have grown?
Calvin, Claus, Caspar, Christel and Curt in front.
Awww they are so adorable and they looked so healthy and cute! So nice!
Btw, I got here from Renny’s blog.
I would love to see all that life ! It’s nice that Greta wants to go and join you. The pictures are all so adorable I scrolled through your blog.
LOL! They ARE darling! WHY can’t Arnie and Anneliese go in and visit? Is Greta too protective of them?
The five C’s looks so cute and well taken care of – thanks for sharing this happiness!
So, so , so adorable!! I love the names you picked, it suits them well :x) I especially love the name Caspar :x) Greta is the best Mommy….she is “da bomb” !
My gosh, Maribeth! I can’t believe so much has happened while I was dealing with in laws. They are so adorable 🙂 I know you are probably loving every minute of having babies around again.
Saturday afternoon I wasn’t feeling too well and watched a lot of tv. There was a show about kittens in the uterus and then there was a show about puppis from conception to birth. I thought of you and the two batches of puppies this year. I can’t remember which channel it was on.
