Portraits 02+03 – Lasse & Bosse

Originally, Lasse and Bosse were two brothers from Middle Farm of Bullerby.

With only 20 minutes between births of these two puppies, we considered the names to fit nicely. As in the books, Lasse is the older (and larger) one.

Whilst Lasse doesn’t say no to any offered bottle of milk, Bosse is slightly more sensitive.

Lasse will also demonstrate the five different exercises of the SuperDog training programme.

Sleeping isn’t amongst these, unfortunately…

For a few days, Bosse belonged to the not so heavy puppies. But he has made up and is now (at 16 days of age) only slightly lighter than Lasse.

Portrait 01 – Astrid

Astrid was the very first puppy. The only yellow female of the litter, she knows what she wants: milk! Whether from Fluffy’s natural milk bar or from the bottle…

Not much one can say about character as of yet, but look how cute she was newly born.

Astrid was named after Astrid Lindgren. And all of Astrid’s sibblings will carry names of characters appearing in Astrid Lindgren’s widely read childrens’ books.

Half past 4 in the morning…

The bar is mine, yeah! All the milk, it’s all mine…

What a luxury of free choice, where to drink.

But I have to admit, someone had helped me. You see those guys to the right? They were taken out by two bottles of milk.

Two bottles of milk. At half past four in the morning! There ain’t no better way to start the day!

Bottle feeding

As we are so many, our mom has a hard time feeding all of us. A little help from a friend is strongly appreciated.

And to tell the truth, it is convenient in some way or other. No fight for a good place at the milkbar, no empty glasses because the puppy I pushed away did drink it all.

Caressing and milk, lots of milk. With a little help from our friends…

Of course, we’ve already had this “with a little help from my friends” theme…

But hey, have you ever seen me close up, so full to bursting? That milky beard did disappear quickly, believe me.

Impressions

Waiting in the basket for the puppy box to be refreshed.
I’m not a Chow-Chow! I’ll become a beautiful Devil Lady, promise. Uhm, I meant Labrador Lady, of course!
After a good feast you shall have a siesta!
Laying at the back and relaxing I’ve learned at the SuperDog training program.

ohh it’s hard to be a puppy

The daily routines for a six-day-old puppy are limited to quite a few activities: Sleep, fight for a good seat at the milk bar, grab a nap, a small snack before the others discover that mom is back, a small nap and maybe a meal from a bottle, then sleep a little so you are ready for the next meal.

There are vitamins in breast milk

With a little help from my friends

Although Fluffy spends most of her time in the puppy box, where she alternately grooms and feeds the puppies, with a litter of eleven puppies, there will always be someone standing in the back of the queue for the milk bar.

Based on observations of the puppies and the daily weighings, the puppies therefore receive a feed supplement in a feeding bottle.

I will not let you go …

If neither mother nor siblings are nearby, a friendly foot can easily be used as a replacement, it has almost the right size to rest your head on.
