Pups at Seven Weeks Old. Eating us out of the House.

I have it sorted: First thing in the morning I chuck chicken thighs in their whelping box to keep them in there and NOT on the wet and poohy newspaper in the pen. While they devour the chicken I can clean the pen and put down new, dry paper. They eat a phenomenal amount. I thought I would take a photo of the shopping trolley last time I went to the supermarket (and I go a few times a week!):

Gaia on point. There was one pair of grouse.

We had a nice group of children here today, all part of bringing up pups.
