Day 45 – Escape from the Pen
It’s been a while since my last post. We have developed a regular routine each day of eating, cleaning and playing. April has growing quickly and now weighs 11.1 lbs (5 kgs). She got her first set of shots this week at the vet. She is developing into a fine Flat-Coat. Good bone structure, thick puppy coat, fast on her feet and retrieving the pheasant skin! In true Flat-Coat style, she has also figured out how to get out of the X-pen setup outside. The pen is 24 inches high and kept locked. Today, we put her outside while cleaning the interior pen. When we checked on her after about 20 mins, she was running in the backyard with Tink. Fortunately, the yard is totally fenced, but it is still disconcerting that she managed to climb out. Tomorrow, I will setup one of the webcam outside so everyone can see April and Tink playing in the yard. Check the BLOG in the morning for details on how to access the webcam.
Here are some new photos of April on Day 45 (6 1/2 weeks old).

Peter & family!
April is absolutely goregous!! A beautiful flatcoat girl to be really proud of, she seems to have inherited the strong bones from Ferros parents but she has a lot of Ferros nose…:)) Look arround her mouth and muzzle and her ears are as curly as Ferros, when not trimmed and that makes her even more lovely.
I never trim all the curls away because these make a lot for the expression. Her head will improve a lot and she will not be ready yet in years.
Please keep on taking photos of her each week we all love to see them and we are patiently waiting for more photos of her. Now we are just waiting for the outdoor webcamera!!
Cheers
