6 weeks old

The puppies are 6 weeks old, and as usual, here they are with their new names.  As always, all the names are subject to KC approval. 

These puppies have been so well behaved and quiet - it's most unusual for a litter of Lappies.  Because of the weirdness of Coronavirus and the self-isolating I've been doing for almost 2 weeks now, these puppies have not been getting anything like the normal socialisation regime that Infindigo puppies usually get.  Still, they're confident and outgoing little tykes, taking in all the experience that we can give them without actually having people in the house or taking the puppies into town.

As you might expect from their parents, the puppies' coats are amazing.  Looking at these photos, I think I'm going to have to start using the adult brush on them, as the puppy brush just isn't cutting it anymore.

How cute are the sitting shots!  Luckily they are, as most of the standing ones are, well, not great.  But then you get the absolute natural posers like Neot/Nalle and Trever/Taika!

Neot
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Nalle
Nalle is a Finnish word for bear - very fitting, we think, for the most teddybear-like of puppies!

Penny
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Penni
Penni is the Finnish form of the word "penny"

Fowey
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Ruskka (Ruska)
Ruska is a Finnish word meaning autumn colours, but I added an additional, unnecessary K to the registered name because Ruska wasn't accepted by the KC

Trever
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Taikuri (Taika)
Taikuri is a Finnish word meaning magician and Taika means magic
You can follow Taika on Instagram @taikuri_the_lapphund

Kensey
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Maki
Maki is a Finnish boy's name

Ottery
To be called Infindigo Onnekas Kielo (Lily)
Kielo is the Finnish word for lily of the valley flower

5 weeks old

The puppies are growing fast, enjoying time in the outside pen (in between the rain, that is) and starting to enjoy a varied diet with scrambled eggs and cheese recent tastes.  In case you're wondering, both were a big hit.

These photos are not quite as good as they might be, but they are truly the best I could manage on this occasion.  This was before their baths as well, so they're quite crunchy with dried in food.  But pretty cute, nonetheless.

As promised, the puppies are more or less crunchy with dried-in food at this age.  They have started to eat solid food - and by solid, I mean puppy kibble soaked into mush and mixed with warm puppy milk.  Any that they don't manage to get on themselves while they are eating, their littermates spread when they start playing after meals.

They will have their first taste of raw food tomorrow - yum!  But in the meantime, here they are at 3 weeks old.  They still mostly sleep, but when they're awake, they are barking, growling, playing, stomping around and wagging.

In haste because I'm quite tired tonight (and who thought it would be a good idea for me to do these weekly updates on Tuesday nights, anyway?)

The puppies' eyes are all now open, or at least just starting to open.  Now that they can see each other, they are getting funny, heaving themselves to their feet, trying to play and practicing their growling and barking.

Next week I promise to try and get sharp photos!
