A whole month

First off, the webcam is back up.  I can't get the whole expen into view because the area is too big unless I back the cam way up and then I feel like it is too far away.  Let me know what you think of the view and if you want something different.

Second ... babies are ONE MONTH old today.  Four weeks, amazing. 
The forth week is the second awareness/identification period.  Play behavior will become much more sophisticated, including growling (which they have already been doing), chasing, and "kill" games.  Distance perception will improve.  I can tell when they are outside that they can't see far yet.  They will need physical and mental challenges like things to move, chew on, climb on and carry.  They have a tug of war toy to play with and I swap out the toys frequently for different colors, sizes, shapes, textures.  They will have tunnels to play with and such this week. 

They went outside and had their first visitor this weekend.  My friend Julia came by to play with them and they loved the attention.  Outside they were timid at first and stayed all together but we got them moving around and they were exploring in no time.  Of course with momma out there, they got distracted alot, but it was fun and they were worn out after.

  2. Poor old mum, can't make a move without her little brood shadowing her. So funny to see them experiencing grass for the first time, especially Blue just lolling around drinking in the texture and the color and the smell of it. It's a big world out there with lots to explore and all kinds of places to find trouble! and they're only 4 weeks old!...just wait!!!
