Photo Diary of Asti's pups week 4

	31 January 2003 (Day 22) The pups are in their new puppy pen. They've had a great time exploring today. Note the green litter tray in the corner. I just popped this in with a bit of newspaper and thought they would be too small to get in and out but I was wrong. In and out like yoyo's and yes we've had wee's in the litter tray. Teeth are coming through. Haven't managed to get the new webcam working but we'll get it going tomorrow hopefully.
	1 February 2003 (Day 23) The pups are really getting great fun to watch play and play with. I only have to say a few words now and they all wake up and come over to my lap for cuddles. I promptly pop them in the litter tray. Their tails have already started curling over. Aunt Chloe has began to play with them. They have started to lap puppy porridge and milk from a saucer and they are showing initiative. One of the black & white girls always walks back up the ramp and puts herself to bed when she's tired. The red & white girl always goes to the very back left corner of the sleeping box for her snoozes. They are fascinating.
	2 February 2003 (Day 24) I see such cute shots but by the time I press the button on the camera the moment has gone. Now the pups are active I have to be really quick with the camera. You'll notice the photo's are getting fuzzier! Here the little girl is enticing her brother to play,
	3 February 2003 (Day 25) Follow that milk bar!
	4 February 2003 (Day 26) Blurred but just too cute! If you want to see the pups on the webcam best to look in daylight hours as it is turned off at night.
	5 February 2003 (Day 27) I'm cheating, this photo was taken yesterday. I didn't get the chance today for snaps but we had some great play sessions and the pups are coming on great. Their toenails are really strong, I've had to go from using small scissors to real nail clippers. The pups are taking some sloppy solids but boy do we all get in a mess at feed times. The food seems to end up everywhere including all over me!
6 February 2003 (Day 28)	We're 4 weeks old tomorrow!
