Now the players!


Sometimes no toy can beat just plain, ol' fashion wrestling enjoyed by Green Boy and Yellow Girl.


Flower Girl may be a frisbee champ!


Willis is a doting 'Aunt' and is always trying to play with the pups. Here she is enticing Green Boy and Maple Sugar.


Red Girl needs a time out for a good scratch (or is it hair primping?)


Here is a possible soccer candidate! It appears Black Boy and Blue Boy were camara shy today.

Some play and others nap. Here are the nappers!


Some like to nap with their heads on the pillow like Purple Girl.


Then you have Pink Girl who prefers the hind end of Orange Girl for a pillow while sleeping belly up. Unfortunately, Black Boy must have been sleeping or hiding behind one of the crates and was lost to the camara. :+(

Reconfigured....AGAIN!














The pups are getting along so well, and now enjoy sleeping quarters much like a condo. :+) They are not particular about which house they occupy - a nice start on enjoying their crate.














Today, they enjoyed their true 'first' gourmet meal which consisted of Gerber Sweet Potatoes, organic hamburger, oats and goat's milk. They chowed down without anyone grumbling. :+)














Of course, nothing is better than the 'read deal' and they enjoyed their liquid dessert. Mommies enjoyed cleaning up the leftovers!

Isn't it just amazing that these two girls can be in the same area nursing assorted pups?? Proof positive of their incredible temperaments. :+)














Fine dining is done and now it is time for 'social hour'.

The boys new 'neckerchiefs'!














A great shot of Green, Black and Blue Boys with Mae showing off her Patriotic Collar.














Mae always has ' a little something to say'!

New Collar I.D.'s!














Here are some of the girls sporting their new colorful collars. From now on, the pups will have these on so that identifying them will be easier for me and you. Here you can see Yellow, Purple, Orange and Red.













A shot of Purple and Pink together. :+)













Multi Girl is sitting in the corner. No, she was not a bad girl.














Finally, a pic of Flower Girl to complete the bunch! (pun intended!) :+)

We will be four weeks tomorrow!














Here are Harriet's seven ladies. The potty box is in the corner as they seemed to gravitate there. Of course, the use of it is really scattered (or luck), but it gets better as they grow.














The boys and Mae enjoy their space, and the potty set up is the same. It is my hope that when they are combined, their potty areas will remain in the same areas.














As you can see, the 'nursery pools' are gone, but they are still separated. I caught Annabelle feeding Harriet's girls, so it won't be long before they will be combined as their mommies are beginning to nurse for shorter periods now and are not so protective. The shorter gates attached to the wire fences allow for the moms to jump in and check on their charges at will. This works until the pups try to jump over it! When that starts, they are completely fenced in.

They having been eating organic oats, banana baby food, flaked chicken and organic goat's milk as well as nursing from their moms. :+)
