Novaforesta Lydia Broom at 8 weeks old

The very cheeky girl now called Tove, she was a little fed up in the top photo as has had her first injection and microchip at the vets today. She was very well behaved throughout, but the visit did exhaust her. I will miss this little girl, she was the puppy that loved to roll with Pi,

Novaforesta Livingstone Daisy at 7 weeks

Livingstone Daisy soon to be known as Livvy and is the smallest girl at the moment, but she wins first prize for making more effort than the others to wee on the paper/puppy pad. She is a bit of a clown, and now nearly trips me up as she has learnt to sit for a treat although this does mean taking photos of her is easy

Novaforesta Lenten Rose at 7 weeks old

Lenten  Rose soon to be called Lottie, she always wants what she can't quite reach!, she is fun and has been very responsive about not biting hands, she is however quite a digger in the garden but allowing the pups on the mud does mean that they are less likely to eat stones and earth when they go to their new homes, well I hope it does :).

Novaforesta Lady Fern at 7 weeks

Lady Fern is one of the larger girls, she has her moments of madness like the others and really is just one of the gang. She normally sleeps with Lily by the gate waiting for the rugby scrum moment when I unlatch it.All the puppies now just want to be with us, if we are quiet then they sleep, if we talk or move they are awake and yelling. This litter have always seemed a week ahead, so they will be more than ready to join their new families next week and to start exploring the big wide world.  ,

Novaforesta Laurel Oak at 7 weeks

Laurel Oak soon to be called Archie is very sweet, today he had an  adventure as he met my daughters cat., he was very brave until she hissed! He has very good concentration for a puppy as he will sit for ages waiting for a treat, the other pups get bored but never Archie.He is such a boy, maybe because he is the only male in the litter but he makes us laugh.

Novaforesta Lily of the Valley at 7 weeks

Lily and Lenten Rose

She is always watching for some action

Novaforesta Lily of the Valley, her favorite game is biting the tail of Pi who has just started politely telling her off. The pups have teeth like needles and when they attack from behind and get your legs it hurts. Lily is very attached to her brother, and they can often be found together curled up, she is probably the fastest runner in the litter, or perhaps just the leading puppy when they break out into the garden :)

Novaforesta Lydia Broom at 7 weeks old

Lydia Broom soon to be called Tove, she is a lively little madam that has struck up a real friendship with Pi. During the evening it is the job of Pi to wear out the puppies before bed, and she does the job well. Tove and Pi play rolling games across the floor and you never hear a squeak from Tove even though it looks rather rough. She is still very like Lenten Rose, but Tove has her coat growing in two lines down her back so I can tell but with photos it is almost impossible, these two girls are like twins
