We are all just about too cute for words! At first glance we all look the same! (Of course, it’s easy to pick out Charlie) So for now we are wearing different colored bands for easy spotting. It’s important to keep track of who is who to make sure we are all gaining weight properly. We are all gaining beautifully.

We have all opened our eyes. And us girls have outgrown our color bands. Even though we may all look alike to you, Angela can spot little differences to tell us apart. We are all growing well and we are all starting to walk! It’s a little wobbly but soon we’ll all be pros!

The pups have really starting moving about and have even begun to play with each other a bit. Their little growls and yips are adorable, and their little personalities are beginning to emerge!

The pups are playing and rolling around with each other even more now! They wrestle and tumble a little and are beginning to be very playful with us too. They like to jump on tug-ropes when we wiggle them on the floor in front of them and they try to get it. They are becoming more snuggly. They love when we hold them close in our arms belly-up and rock them (just like a baby!) and sometimes even fall to sleep. They have begun to nibble at soft food and seem to enjoy it. New things are scary for puppies so sometimes they act shy when trying something new, but they are all very curious and willing to try.

Today the pups got to run around in the laundry room while I “remodeled” their pen. They ran all over wagging there tails, sniffing, exploring, yipping, scrambling all over the floor. Everything was interesting, including my shoes, which they tugged at my laces and untied! They ran in and out of the other dog kennels and a couple even laid down for a comfy little nap. Today they had their first experience drinking out of a water bowl. Sometimes they lapped it up, sometimes they dipped their little paws into it. It is so cute to watch them figure out new things.

 

The “remodeling” I did was to add a covered crate so they can get used to the enclosed space. I also made their pen slightly larger so they have more room to play and romp. They are starting to use the potty pad more and more. We have large thin slats of cardboard lining the rest of the pen to soak up the misses, but by next week they should start getting even better at trying to find the potty mat.

 

Next week is a big week for the pups. They will get their first shots, which is good news because that means they will get to go outside! I will capture the moment on video and place a link for you see. If you think they are adorable now... Just wait ‘til you see them playing in the grass!

 

WE ARE REALLY ENJOYING THESE LITTLE SWEETIES!

Finally the pups got to go outside! But first they had to get their shots, and I am happy to report they all did great! (Nothing like a nice tasty glob of peanut butter for a distraction!) Now that they are on their way to being immunized it is safe for them to explore the world outside.

 

First, it was off to the enclosed pen where they got to sniff and run and play and roll in the fresh grass. At first they were unsure (as pups always are trying something new) but in no time they were peeking in and out of bushes and climbing in and out of the dog house.

 

Then it was off to the BIG yard to run with the BIG dogs! What fun they had. And fun to watch, too.

What a week it’s been!  The pups have done so many new things. And they seem to have grown overnight. They are running and playing with the big girls now, chasing balls and butterflies, and our heels! They are really enjoying the outdoors.

 

They also got to lounge on the deck under the big shade umbrella for the first time. It’s a fun place to be while everyone is relaxing.

 

Now the biggee... Today was the pups first time to spend time in a crate all their own. They ate a meal in them and took a nap, and all did pretty well. At night it was time to try to “go to bed” in their crates. We’ll just say some had a bit of a harder time than others, but that’s to be expected. It’s hard for them to be separated from each other, but by taking it step-by-step just a little longer each night, before they know it they’ll be quite comfy and content. 

 

Last but not least... we took the pups on their first trial walks, too! Very short, just in the driveway, but they all got the hang of it, and it was adorable! We took some video and hope you’ll enjoy their antics on leash! PUPPY LINK 2

Well this is a very exciting week—Puppy picks are this week! We went to the U of M today and all went well. The pups are doing GREAT in their crates, able to go all night! They are happy and very sociable and so cute and fun!. They are enjoying their walks and little trips around town.

 

Just like you, I’m excited to learn which pup will be going to who and in just a couple days we’ll know!

 

We’ll be chatting this week!
