six girls and five puppies

Today it was "girly day"

In the afternoon I got visit from six nice (10 - 12 years old) girls. They all like my puppies and want to do my job. - For half an hour this is fine.
They stroke and kiss my puppies, they play with them and the make the transport from the house to the garden and back.

Thank's for helping

In the garden (video)

Today it was the first time, my puppies went in the garden:

Now everything is intersting

Since two day there is really live in the puppy box

Everything that lands in the puppy box has to be checked. - So one time the head of Thomas landed in the box. - Then they found it's time to check my bowl.

I think it will be time, to enlarge their room as soon as possible!

Visit of new Owner's

The last week was a public holiday ...

... so there had been a lot of visitors.
(see the WEB Album)
The new Owners (Maja and Markus) of Braveheart also visited me. Jürgen Klehr (the breeder of "den Kleinen Seen"), Family Kostner (the owner of the uncle from Vichy), Florian and Christl also had been here.

So it was stress on the one hand and on the other hand pleasure to meet other dog's.

children visits children

This weekend we got a lot of visit.

This is important for everybody. -
Vichy learns that everyone loves her and the puppies.
The children learns how to handle with these little animals.
The puppies get different smells, so they don't frighten humans anymore.

Really great for humans and animals!

Time to deworm the puppies

After 2 weeks it is time to deworm the puppies.

For the breeders this is a hard job.
The little puppies have now four times of the weight they started. 2 kg (70 US-Oz.) was their average weight.
We always do this if they are hungry. So we are sure, that the medicine really helps them.

The first steps (video)

Visit of Mrs. President

Today I had a very nice visit ...

... from Mrs. Michaela Wolf, the president of the Austrian Leonberger Club. She told me, that I have very nice puppies. The Austrian Leonberger Club is a nice and important community who helps the people and the dogs.
They organize the annual club exhibition, a few "Leonberger trips", have a nice Internet page, publications in the Newspaper of the ÖKV and a lot of events more.

"Thanks Mrs. President for the good work in the Austrian Leonberger Club"

Fresh Air Area

Last Saturday there was a noise in the garden

Thomas was building the fresh air area for my puppies. - He told me, that he had learned from the first time he had puppies. - If they are bigger, they find every little gap to go out. - So he decided to build it without gaps (he thinks so :-)
But at the moment (now it is the day 11) we are waiting that they open there eyes.

Pedicure

Since a few hours my bosom hurts!

Theresa and Thomas showed me why. The claws where like little knifes. Really sharped-edged.
So we decided to give them a pedicure. One millimeter is enough. Thomas did it high concentrated during the time my puppies had a deep sleep.
In the meantime Theresa gave a healing skin cream ("Ringelblume") on my bosom.

Thanks a lot for helping!

Ghandi visited me

You have to know, I have a good friend in the house

It is the cat "Ghandi". Normally we have the same sleeping place, eat together, play together and we love us.
But the first day, I thought a cat is a cat and have to stay away from my puppies.
Today Thomas showed me, that "Ghandi" is no danger for my little dogs. Now I accept him in the house.

It is nice to get old friends back.
