Visitors
We had the fun of having Terry Mosher, the cartoonist and his daughter visiting today. They got to play with the pups and enjoy puppy heaven.
This is a good change from upstairs play, no?

Oh the play toy arrived. You can see the pups jump all over Nathan. `Oh they do it with me but when he lays down, they jump and climb and walk down his body like it is natural. They are ever so agile.
I had a lot of fun watching this and you will too in the videos, I imagine!
The pups have the slife and chairs to a science. They know how to climb up and how to get down and some think they can fly. Oh my. I have to say they are amazing to watch.
The gal seems to be getting over her fear period. We shall see how that progresses.
The pups were going crazy for my grooming jacket as I had teh residual of liver treats in the pocket. I guess their noses work.
The puppies are having fun. They are bold and fun. They jump. They play. They have a grand time. They are simply wonderful to play with. You can see this all in the videos including the climbing jumping ones.
Pups are getting more agile by the day. They are about to go out now to have their huge play session before bed. This is how they sleep all night by expelling energy before bedtime.
Pups are running, playing, jumping like craziness. Pups are playing upstairs once again. I can hear the pitter patter of running feet. Dennis is up with them as I blog. I had my time with them after and between grooming.The pups are getting more active and playing liek crazy. It is fun to watch!
The dogs leap in the air - run like hey and just enjoy. Even the apricot sable was full out playing today. She was also the one that was up in the wee hours - tsk tsk.
Nathan and I had a discussion about who the pups are closest to. It was all in fun but you will have to watch the videos for more. We are starting to see some real characters in this group.
The puppies did well considering this was their 1st time in the kitchen. With boarders and gals in heat, it was impossible to condition them to the kitchen but they were more than fine.
Misty even played a chase me game with a toy with the pups. I hope I got that on video. Videos will be up shortly and the afternoon visit will be on Misty's blog.
As I need to groom dogs after the afternoon visit, I will not be doing upstairs play videos and photos. They will just play with Dennis without being on film and there is value in that as well.
The pups have now eaten and fallen asleep till teh afternoon play session.
Girl - she was fine in bath and blow dry.
Boy - he was playful and appeared to enjoy
Boy, he was great!
Littlest gal She loved the water
Gal - was an absolute star - tail up waggy waggy tail.
I am having problems with this blog so will keep trying to get it published correctly.
As it took me a long time to bathe the pups, by the time I reached the last, they were fast asleep so I just now had them upstairs and took videos and photos.
I need to finish grooming today. Here you will find the videos shortly.
They bat my phone and all sorts of things come up for them. Sometimes it is music, a game or something that just makes noise. They seem to love the interaction.
Tomorrow this crew gets a bath with photos. Lots of work but they will smell good and be so extra fluffy.
