Behind the scenes at Cheers puppy blog

One of the things that happens here every night it the weighing of the puppies. For a while they fit in a laundry basket, but lately that has not been an option. The change to solid food has lead to a rapid increase in size. So now instead of the laundry basket, they get put in my kennel. Sorry, these were about the only pictures that were taken tonight.



Prior to tonight's weighing, the pups were handed out of the pen to the puppy carrier, who walked them over to the kennel. But tonight Team Cheers tried something different. The puppy catcher simply placed the puppies outside the X-pen. Then the puppies were called, and being good Helping Paws dogs, they all trooped over the the kennel and walked right in :) Well, about half the pups actually responded to being called, and wandered over in the general direction of the crate.

And if you think its all fun and games and cute puppies here, think again. Below is video taken at 5:30 AM this morning. Turn up the volume if you are really brave. Thankfully staff was already up and prepared for this:
