It's been an eventful day around here. Haley got up with the puppies this am so I didn't have to set an alarm. But I woke up right before the alarm would've gone off so not too much difference ;-).
We've had a BIG day of puppy (and some big dog) fun. The pupsters got to forage for their food in the castle sandbox and the big dogs joined in - Phoebe (their mother's cousin) seems to think she is still part of the puppy set, except that she's been in season recently so lets them nurse, too. I don't think they get anything but she'll stand there and let them try a lot longer than I would expect. She actually rather encourages it. Mila seems to think it is just fine.
Haley and I took the puppies out for walks in the 'free range' part of the yard today. They all took that opportunity to poop again too. Funny how quickly a dog/puppy can decide that they want to potty even further from their area. We also finished assembling the puppy binders since the boys are leaving tomorrow.
Just as we finished that up, we had more puppy visitors. The pupsters were sleepy when they arrived but they stayed until the puppies were awake, too. At least while they are sleeping, they don't feel as compelled to exhibit their piercing techniques ;-). For the most part, they are much better about it but they still occasionally want to sink them into hands or ankles. A distracto-toy is a great way to keep that from happening.
We took some of the big dogs to they pond this evening for some practice and play. Unfortunately, it was a little too late for us to take the puppies, tonight. They played in the wading pool a LOT today though. Once or twice, I put a puppy into the wading pool to rinse feet after they wallered in the planter of mint and lemon. They smell great but a couple of them also like to get down into the dirt. I moved the planter for a while this evening because they were reluctant to be dissuaded. We'l see how it goes tomorrow.
It's about time to do last call and put the pupsters to bed so I'm going to say Nighty Nighty Nighty. Puppy breath to all!
