Marcus and Oliver update 1 week on.


Hello all

Well from this time last week when they did not really move much, let alone climb my leg...which they now do with ease.

Both of them are now doing very well no upset stomachs they are getting used to everything today it is chestnuts.... they don't behave like ping pong balls or newspaper balls...and make a noise.....they require a few sniffs and a lot of body posturing then finished off with a few gentle taps before they were deemed safe. to play with.
They have a bit of trouble detangling their claws from certain things (like me) but they are getting there. Cardboard boxes with holes cut in are the flavour of the moment...along with pom poms made of wool...varying sizes.(homemade of course) and balls made of silver paper.

Marcus has taken to washing Oliver...much to Oliver distaste (pure boy )

So all in all doing well they are 6&1/2 weeks now.

Karen
