Upstairs Playing

Here is the gallery.

I have to tell you the pups really have a fun blast. They chase Nathan. They are standing on their back legs. They are just so full of life. It's a joy to spend time with them even if I am not up to it or busy or a crazy day grooming etc.  You can sit and watch and smile.

They did really well on their 1st night sleeping upstairs. They are really wonderful!

Good news! They are drinking water well. They do like the larger bowls.

Play Before the Visit

Here is the gallery before the visit.

Are they ready? We shall see. They certainly had a great time upstairs with me and then Nathan. they have yet to play in the kitchen as this is long weekend and not fair to shuffle dogs elsewhere and pups are too little to play with adults but you will be able to experience a first and that is quite nice.

The pups have now found they can fit between the bars. It's a riot. They will get bigger and won't be able to. 

We have started using the sherpa bags consistently to transport them from one place to the next. We do this so it becomes their comfort when travelling etc. Everything we do is to help them to enjoy and feel comfort in things they may experience in their lives.

The visit will be captured on Tempie's blog. Videos will go up after that.

Baths and All That!

Here is the Spirit gal. She was the only one out of 6 that had words with me over the blow dryers. She was not a fan. Liked the water but really you want to blow warm air on me and comb me out - really? I laughed and continued to hug and cuddle and comb her out and she settled in resigned that I was going to dry her anyways.

Here is the boy who didn't mind any of it. He was exploring and I swear he would be the dog that sat in front of the fan. Pups dry fast at this age. Their hair is not extra long and they are little. So, I got the pups done while someone was sharpening my scissors. He even did our kitchen shears all from outside in his truck. Wonderful job!

Here are the bath photos.

The pups have yet to play in the kitchen nor see people in masks. This ought to be interesting. As soon as blogs are done, I am crawling onto the recliner.
