Eyes Opening

Tonight three of the puppies had their eyes open and some of them were walking rather than squirming around like slugs with legs. Here are the daily weigh ins. Every morning while Lunar is out for a toilet break I take their weights. Girls Green/Gold 364 402 428 460 480 510 560 600 645 690 […]

Tuesday Night Training

Finally managed to slip away from puppy duties and get on the bike. It was a fast paced training. I did 10kms before the others arrived then we started about 9:30pm. One guy escaped on the first lap and we never caught him. We tried pretty hard to catch him too. Considering I hadn’t been […]
