Another "find your puppy" series...






I do my best to get pictures of all of them, but sometimes that is tough - depends where I am and what they are doing... Plus, of course, which pictures I post - there will be lots more on the DVD for the new owners...

Once they were at the top, they enjoyed watching the others try...

The big dogs watched carefully too!

When they were all up, they had a treat and since the bag was then empty, it seemed like it would make a good toy.

One crinkly bag of air produced two days of fun, before "the teeth" did it in!

Ha ha... count the puppies - when they crash, they really crash!

Moving on Up!


Didn't take long for one thing to lead to another...

Ha ha... great suntan place too, I guess...

Grandma was the added incentive at the top...

If one can do it, the rest have to try... ha ha.

You could almost sense them cheering each other on...

Another adventure begins - stairs!


The pups were having a great time, playing with the stones under my stairs...



Good first step to get them used to going up and down open stairs...

Funny how such simple things can amuse them for ages...

More travels...


Amber was in her glory... Brandy is still sulking - she still has a bit of milk, so she will have to wait a few days yet

Yards are full of so many interesting things! They don't chew long on rocks before they realise they taste yucky!

The vets!! They did really well in the car and I let them run around on some grass nearby (to do their business) before we went indoors. Oh yeah - go figure - they all head off in different directions!

Thankfully, they do come back when I call them...

Then they all got pampered and spoiled by the vet techs... As for the vet herself, well - that part was not as "appreciated", but it was over fast and they are all healthy and happy...

Fringe Benefits...

I have to tell you, after playing like this before bed, they sleep like little angels!





Sure are enjoying themselves!

A New Adventure Begins...

Finally, the Mom's milk has dried up enough that they can have good plays with their babies...





Oh goodness... what have I started?! ha ha... They are loving it, but keeping an eye on eleven pups at a time is tough - thankfully Grandma was still here for this beginning phase...

Baby Faces...

Babies!


Watch closely now...

Look what they can see...

This was so adorable...

Both baby and puppies were so curious...

Aww... Give me a kiss!!

Puppies are piddling good now...

What sweetie pies!!

Ha ha... looks like this one is trying to play skipping with my BBQ hose!

Look what we brought them back from the forest...

Some were really curious, others went right back to play...

I love to introduce new things to their lives...

They are "teething" on the log here...

Don't worry - they are just having fun pulling the bark off - not eating it!
