Outdoors Wow

You have to understand that we are 4 weeks TOMORROW and we are having experiences early. There is a HUGE difference between almost 4 weeks and 5 weeks. You saw it with the Adele pups how much they change. These pups are having even earlier exposures so we can merge the two. 

Today we did experience a couple of Adele pups mauling the Rox pups but it wasn't bullying but more let's play like my siblings play with me stuff. The Rox pups are not there yet but will be in a week and by the time you see them they will be on a more level playing field, so to speak. 

All the pups did amazing outdoors. They had Jesse on the outside of the pen. They had garden equipment noises next door. These were all good exposures. They had a crow cawing.

We thought of doing this last moment so we had to blow off cedar pieces off the deck. Dennis moved furniture and set up an xpen and well it was a - oh yeah its warm so lets do this when we had planned on taking them to the kitchen. We will try again tomorrow. I also had to wash all the blankets we had out there as the deck was damp. So that load is still drying. All the hidden things that are done each day. 

The pups after outdoors is still sleeping. So far not a peep for almost an hour and a half. We will see how long they sleep after all that outdoor play.

Here is the outdoor video link. It is live now. I am also crawling into bed. 

Here are the rest of the videos:

Helping Hand Roxie

More Floor

They are still slipping on the flooring but so did Adele's at this age. We are leaving the floor space to see if it ramps up their development in maneuvering the floor.

1 Day Shy of 4 Weeks

Rox Sure Coddles Them

Deep Snooze

Yeah Feeding Again

Catching Shut Eye

Oh and the Rox pups at times have their tails up and over and already teeth. Can you imagine that?

Yesterday was the perfect day to take the pups outside. What a great adventure for them. They seemed to do so well, the two litters merged together on the deck. I wonder if they will experience snow.....

I can't tell you how much we enjoy the Roxie Adele pups 1st outdoors video. Ed, Patches and I have watched it a few times on our TV on the bigger screen. When you watch each and every one of these pups, you can tell how beautiful and unique each and every one is. Although, I must admit, after watching Patches all that time before we brought her home, I think I am watching her with the little white and black tri. Getting any one of these pups will be a gigantic blessing to each forever family. What a wonderful holiday gift it will be for all of us.

Darlah, I surely hope you are feeling better.
