March 2007

Pedigrees finally arrived
So we visited Scotty, Zorro, Luna and Bowi  to bring the documents. We loved to see them again. They are such pretty and handsome dogs !
And our Hugg loved to play with her sister and brothers again.
Have a look at    Bowi and Hugg (brother and sister)  
                and the others

De stambomen zijn eindelijk binnen en we zijn op bezoek gegaan bij de hondjes die in Nederland zijn gebleven. We hadden Zorro en Bowi al die tijd niet meer gezien en het was fantastisch ze weer mee te maken. Prachtige honden, heerlijk speels met een fijn karakter. Genieten dus voor ons, maar ook voor Huggje die weer met haar broers en zus kon spelen.

21-02-2007

The "Mask & Mirror Litter" is 6 months old today.
We love to see their pictures and read the stories, sent by the owners .
And some of them live in the neighbourhood, so we can go for a walk together and our Hugg loves to play with her sister and brother.
Have a look at    February 2007

14-01-2007

Today our Hugg could play with her brother Mooncradle Dark Night "Scotty". They were inseperable from the first minute they saw eachother. And we loved to watch them play.

Vandaag kon Huggje heerlijk met haar broertje Scotty spelen. Ze vonden elkaar meteen leuk en wisten van geen ophouden. Soms ging het eventjes net een tikkie te hard, waarop met name Hugg dan even flink van zich afsnauwde. No problem, daarna weer vrolijk verder spelen.
Gelukkig had ik nu mijn camera bij me.
Have a look at    Scotty and Hugg

06-01-2007

We had a very nice walk with Mooncradle Luna's Mirror "Luna", but unfortunately I forgot my camera. I'm sorry ... next time I won't.
Hugg and Luna didn't mind; they played all the way long.

Samen met Hugg en haar zusje Luna naar het bos geweest. De 2 hondjes hebben heerlijk gespeeld. Dom genoeg was ik mijn fototoestel vergeten. Dus ... geen plaatjes.

At 8 weeks our first puppies leave home.
Mooncradle Mystic's Dream lives happily in France now,
Mooncradle Luna's Mirror,
Mooncradle Dark Night  and
Mooncradle Two Trees  all three stay with very nice families
                        in the Netherlands
Next week  the others will leave us:
Mooncradle Kati's Mask will go to Sweden
Mooncradle Marrakesh Market will live in Finland
Mooncradle Prospero's Speech will live in France
Mooncradle Bonny Swans will live in Germany
Mooncradle Full Circle will stay in the Netherlands

Mooncradle Cé Hé will stay with us

We will miss them very much, but we can see it's the right time to leave us now. Puppies are full of energy, they are willing to learn and to love their people they live with ... and that must be their new owners. We tried to raise them up during these 8 weeks as good as possible and we have confidence in their new owners they will educate them in a positive, friendly and consequent manner.
We hope for a very happy and healthy life for all of them.

We zullen onze pupjes erg missen, maar zien wel dat het voor hen goed is nu naar hun nieuwe baasjes te gaan. Met 8 weken hebben ze veel energie en staan ervoor open van alles te gaan leren en om een band op te bouwen met de mensen om hen heen ... en dat moeten dan wel hun nieuwe baasjes zijn.
Wij hebben ons best gedaan onze hondjes een goede start te geven en ervoor te zorgen dat ze als vrolijke puppen, vol vertrouwen een nieuwe toekomst tegemoet gaan.
We zijn ervan overtuigd dat hun nieuwe baasjes hen op een vriendelijke, positieve en consequente manier verder zullen begeleiden en opvoeden.
We hopen voor al onze pupjes op een vrolijk en gezond hondenleven.


08-10-2006 6 - 7 weeks a tough week for our puppies. Going to the vet for health check, vaccination and European passport. All pups were very healthy and our vet liked them very much.
Going for eye examination: all eyes unaffected and free of hereditary eye diseases. All pups behaved calm and were just looking around curiously.
All puppies have been in our village, safely carried on my arm,
and walked on the leash a little while. Because of they like to follow you and come when calling it's a funny thing to do. Puppies like it and of course we always give them a reward: a little food and a toy to play with.

Een druk weekje voor onze puppen. Naar de dierenarts voor gezondheidscontrôle, inenting en Europees paspoort. Allemaal goed gezond en de dierenarts vond het een mooi en rustig stel puppen.
Naar Wageningen naar de oogarts. De oogarts constateerde dat alle pups vrij zijn van oogaandoeningen.
De pups vonden het allemaal wel goed en zaten alles nieuwsgierig te bekijken.
Verder hebben alle pups een stukje door het dorp gelopen, veilig op de arm. En voor de eerste keer eventjes aan het riempje meegelopen. Omdat ze allemaal graag met je meelopen en komen als je roept, ging dat erg leuk.
Natuurlijk worden ze altijd beloond met een lekker voertje en is er een speeltje bij de hand.

01-10-2006 5 - 6 weeks puppies are getting more attentive ... they look at cars that pass by, like the cleaner, are attentive at all different kind of noises .... etc.

Puppies worden opmerkzamer ... ze zien en horen nu van alles, zoals passerende auto's, grasmaaiers enzovoorts en komen allemaal kijken als er gestofzuigd wordt.

25-09-2006

At 5 weeks puppies have been micro chipped

Alle puppies zijn gechipped op de dag dat ze 5 weken oud waren

23-09-2006

At 33 days puppies love to play outside in the garden.
And have a lot of fun with their toys and drag them around.
They romp and grumble and run after eachother.

Puppies spelen nu vaak buiten in de tuin en dat vinden ze prachtig. Ze slepen hun speeltjes in het rond, grommen, stoeien en rennen achter elkaar aan.

18-09-2006

At 28 days (4 weeks already ...) puppies and Mum  are dewormed for the second time (Drontal Pup).
Many poos and pees are done already on a newspaper in the edge of the bench .... bravo puppies!

Ons span is alweer 4 weken vandaag. Ze zijn allemaal voor de tweede keer ontwormd met Drontal Pup.
Plassen en poepen wordt al vaak gedaan op een krant in een hoek van het kamerkenneltje.... bravo pupjes!

16-09-2006

At 26 days (weather is very nice) first time puppies go out.... that's great! They play around in the grass and their world is so much bigger now.
Just for a little while because they are still babies and get tired soon. They have a very good sleep afterwards.

Met 26 dagen, het is heerlijk weer, gaan onze puppies voor de eerste keer naar buiten. Dat is feest, heerlijk buiten in het gras ravotten en van alles onderzoeken.
Niet te lang, want het zijn nog steeds babys en dus snel moe. Daarna slapen ze als roosjes.

15-09-2006

A tough morning for the girls. I took them to the vet for a MDR1 test and they didn't like it. Wow they can yell !

Een moeilijke ochtend voor de meidjes. Ze zijn bij de dierenarts geweest voor een MDR1 test en dat vonden ze echt niet leuk. Ze hebben dat goed laten horen.

14-09-2006

At 24 days puppies get a little bit Hill's complete puppy nutrition.
They love it immediately and causes no problems at all,
The moment they eat solid food instead of milk, Mabel is not willing to eat al their pees and poos anymore  ;-(
So ... a lot of cleaning work to do!

De eerste geweekte puppiebrokjes (Hill's) met 24 dagen.
Ze vinden het heerlijk en verdragen het allemaal heel goed.
Maar nu ze wat anders dan melk krijgen, laat Mabel hun poepjes en plasjes liggen, dus ..... werk aan de winkel!

09-09-2006

At 19 days puppies lap up their milk (Litterlac) without any help
and ... first little teeth have passed
and ... some puppies climbed out of the box, so we enlarged their place and they can play around
They grow up fast now!
All puppies have 3 times their birth-weight now .... (first ones at the age of 16 days)

Zelf uit een schaaltje melk (Litterlac) lebberen  met 19 dagen
en ... de eerste tandjes zijn doorgekomen
en ...  puppies klommen uit de nestkist dus hebben we hun ruimte vergroot, meer plek om te spelen
Ze worden snel groter nu!
Alle pups hebben nu 3x hun geboortegewicht bereikt ... de eerste 2 pups haalden dat op al 16 dagen oud.

Look at    Eggbird and Dr. Flynn  and the others    

07-09-2006

Puppies 17 days
Today all puppies got some porridge  

Alle puppies genoten van hun eerste pap-maaltijd
Look at    Moby en Eggbird eten pap

04-09-2006 Puppies 14 days
All puppies and mum dewormed today (Drontal pup) and it causes no problems at all for the little ones.
They start to play with eachother ... for a little while and then they fall asleep again

2 weken oud - Vandaag zijn pups en mams voor de eerste keer ontwormd (Drontal pup) en alle pupjes verdragen het goed.
Ze beginnen nu op elkaar te reageren en te spelen ... een paar minuutjes en dan valt het hele boeltje weer in slaap

02-09-2006

Puppies 12 days
We can see their little eyes shine - it's the beginning of opening  eyes. They crawl around and ... for a while already stand on 4 feet

12 dagen oud - puppies kruipen door de nestkist (op zoek naar elkaar of naar Mams). Hun oogjes kieren en glinsteren je tegemoet,  soms zie je al een half open oogje. En als ze trek hebben komen ze al even op 4 pootjes en wankelen wat onhandig een paar stapjes.

01-09-2006
