Playing Upstairs

They are full of it today. Here is the gallery.

They really enjoyed their visitors. Vet is coming Wednesday and then the mad rush to assign, get things ready and start missing them. There is always that - sorry. But we relish hearing about their journey.

Pups have had 2 huge play sessions upstairs. They truly enjoyed themselves!

Before Visit

Singing for attention - are we? LOL

Here is the gallery of the play before tonight's visit.

We have wind outside and our back door is blowing open so the pups are getting a lot of conditioning. This is a good thing. Dennis is trying to get water melt away from the house. It's a lake out back. 

Pups had fun in the hall. This is their 2nd time coming out so the next time won't be till the 6pm visit. Then I will upsdate Tempie's blog. 

They really have a ton of fun with these play sessions. Last night Dennis had them till 1030 in the kitchen running and playing.

8 Week Visit

The videos are coming soon. As I type, they are still sleeping and so is Nathan. LOL

The pups had fun. It was quite enjoyable to see those that arrived. We want to thank  Mary Kay and her husband for the Cinnamon bread and the toy. We also want to thank Jodi and her husband for pastries (croissants). I had to wash a dog and went to go get some and it vanished. LOL Yes, every bit of it. I guess they really liked all of it!

Looks like the pups are starting to wake up - hmm sooner that expected. I have to get the blogs done and upload the videos. Get with it, Darlah - you slacker. We also have an afternoon visit that you will see on Tempies blog.

Here is the gallery.

8 Week bath All Attitude

This is the boy. Yes, he had attitude about the bath - about the drying and even taking photos. I had to laugh.

The girl, well she just said no way - really. Her brother was better. This photograph says it all. You don't really think you are going to bathe me, blow dry me and hang me up in the air and expect me to pose, will ya? You may have heard her during some of the videos taken today. She was not impressed but I kept on despite her protests. 

Here is the gallery of the bath.

Momma and dad are really laid back - whatever you want kind of dogs. Truffie is a gentle soul and so is Spirit. 

Wear socks as we are teaching this duo bite inhibition. It's play. It's normal but they are more mouthy than Tempies crew. We will get there before home. 

They sure do love the play! wait till you see them this weekend!

Be sure to check out the videos.

The moms had baths today and they were playing and playing with their pups. Tomorrow they will have their baths. We will see how they do. 

The vet visit is a few says after the 8 week visit as that is what we could arrange.

You will see a change in them. They are not who they were a couple if weeks ago. LOL Maybe you have seen that in the videos.
