by her brother Oskar. |
|---|
| 06.04 | Another rainy day. The Vivis short but intense fiddled with a large 10 year
old indoor plant. |
|---|
| 05.04 | The rainy weather is not enough. To cap it all, Doc Ouch comes into puppies home and
pricks each puppy twice. The weight of each puppy dog is clearly above 6kg. |
|---|
| 04.04 | Despite contrary forecast we have nice weather which was used for extensive open
air activities. |

|---|
| 22.03 | For the first time the little lion hunters were on our forest meadow. After 45 minutes the
adventure tour was finisched because all the new impressions and smells made the puppies
very tired. All fell asleep on the backpassage in the car. |
|---|
| 21.03 | New play equipment was discovered in the garden - a water-filled 'snow-slip-plate' and
a plastic sheet gave the puppies a lot of pleasure. |
|---|
| 20.03 | Paulina (11 years old) visited the puppies, played with them and drove them around
in a handbarrow. |
|---|
| 19.03 | Rainy weather - the puppies spent their time with eating, crunching rabbit ears and
sleeping. |

while others just fell asleep. |

| 16.03 | Today the little lion hunters spent their time with gardening - tearing out last year's
sear stalks and peeling a birch trunk. |
|---|
| 15.03 | The puppies have spent large parts of the day out of doors. Even the shier ones had
a great time romping arounf in the 'enlarged enclosure'. |
|---|
| 14.03 | As the weather was very fine today the little ridgebacks were outdoors for one hour.
They carefully explored their nearby environment. |
|---|
| 13.03 | All puppies are now able to drink off the water pan. We are waiting for better weather so
that the puppies can go outside. |
|---|
| 12.03 | For the first time we cut the puppies sharp back claws. |
|---|
| 11.03 | We prepared the first stage of the outdor enclosure. Unfortunately the weather was

cautious journey into the garden. |

to be on her own for 1 - 2 hours.

|---|
| 29.02 | For the first time the puppies get solid foot. Some of them consume it greedily, others
are more reserved. |
|---|
| 28.02 | Today we dewormed the puppies for the first time. Apparently this was not very tasty. |
|---|
| 27.02 | The puppies keep training free standing and upright walking. The primary dentation begins to
show up underneath the teethridge. Because the babies are 'eating' faster now, Nini has got
more time for relaxing. |
|---|
| 26.02 | The weight of all puppies is above 1kg and some of the puppies are able to walk upright

(Addendum) |
Regrettable the last news was a little premature: after 2 stillborn puppies (1/1) another keen,
strong girl was born at noon. These three had hided in the chest area inside the
rib cage.
All babies are doing well and all except the last born girl have fairly increased their weight.
|

Nini came through very well. All 11 puppies are agile and fit.

only small walks in the cold winter temperaratures. Puppy motions are clearly noticeable. |

analyses. Many puppies were counted. |
|---|

way and we hope that our visit will not be without consequences. |
