Since the weather today was mild (near freezing point) I decided to let the pups have their first taste of the big outdoors...

Taking them out two at a time, the girls were rather over whelming to them!

They were only out about 5 min each - just to give them a taste of it - will try to get them out every time it is mild enough, so they get used to the idea of using the outdoors for their toilet.

Of course, today - none of them peed outdoors, but they did lick at the snow and sniffed around like crazy!

The "mothers" all hovererd

and the pups stayed close. (That won't last long, trust me!)

Then it was the other two's turn...

Brandy tried hard to get them to run and play with her - she needs a good walk! Unfortunately, they must wait till after the pups have their first needle (my rule)

These two seemed to enjoy exploring...

Bailey even found some snow covered brown bits for me... gee thanks!

Poor Laila looked cold here so I decided it was enough for them for the day as well... Bet they sleep well tonight!
