Thursday - November 18

Crate training began today.  While the puppies slept, the crate appeared along with a few new toys.  After eating in the crate, then some romping in the crate, a couple of the puppies took advantage of the quite spot for a nap.

The puppies have been getting time around the house.  Mondo (orange) found an spot under the dining table to sleep.

Today, someone (Mondo - Orange) decided to somehow get poopy all over himself.  So, it was the first puppy bath.  The puppies are small enough to be bathed in the sink, but we need to get used to the bathtub.

It was a bit chilly out when Caren and her mother came to visit the puppies.  Caren hasn't seen the puppies since she helped with the whelping.  By helped what I mean is did most of the work.  I consider Caren the puppies godmother.  Anyone willing to help out at 2:30 in the morning is truly wonderful.

Today, our friend Jeanne gave us a new toy.  Marie Claire (yellow) and Mondo (orange) jumped right in to try it out.

Another beautiful day - so more outside photo's.
Puppies are definitely getting faster and playing more with each other and with the toys.  A few puppies have started playing with the ball that is in their pen.

Another beautiful day.  My husband and I had the day off, so we took advantage of the weather for some outdoor photos of the puppies.  Sometimes they cooperated, and sometimes not. 

It seems to me that the puppies have gotten taller.  Yesterday afternoon, I went to feed the puppies, and I swore that while they slept Tim Gunn (purple) got much taller.  Is it my imagination or have they shot up?

It's been a hectic few days.  My sister and nephew came to town to visit with the puppies and go to see Alex's puppy.  Alex is getting a Vizsla puppy from a friend of mine at Windrunner Vizslas.  Not sure why he wanted one of those hairless dogs (just kidding, they do have hair) when he could have had a puffballs.

After visiting the other puppies, Terri and Tammy came to visit our puppies.  They drove 3 hours to meet the girls.

Then, of course, there was more romping in the yard.  Alex's observation for the day:  During feeding time, at least one puppy must be standing in the food dish at all times.
