Six Weeks and Two Days Old

The puppies have been spending the majority of their days in the fenced part of our backyard. The yard is a nice size that they can explore but restricts them enough that I can be certain there is nothing they can get into that will cause them harm. I usually have two of three dishes of water available for them during the day and a large dish of food that they always have access to so that whenever they are hungry they can have a little snack. There are also two separated rooms in a heated dog house, one where the puppies can rest when they get tried and one where Maddie can go to get away from the puppies when she wants to.

I was just out to check on them again a bit ago and they were spread out in the yard, some had found sunny spot to sleep while a few others were playing the sticks or toys and one puppy was sleeping in the dog house. However, as soon as they heard the sound of the gate opening they all jumped up from where they were and mobbed the gate. They love to be petted and be played with and while I am giving attention to one puppy the others are usually chewing on my pants or shoes. I have learned the hard way (again) that I must where jeans because if I wear a lighter material they will quickly chew holes in the bottom hem of my pants.

I also decided that today I would be extra patient and get some better pictures of the puppies. I have lots of pictures of puppy back-sides and blurry puppies running toward me but here are some of the best shots.











Maurie and Miley are just not sure what that little ones are doing.




Her eyes are bigger than her mouth!


This rug belongs in their dog box, however
 it appears they decided that outdoors rugs are nicer.
Water dishes must make nice places to rest.
