This is what we do most of the day.

During this week, the pups have been outside each day. I leave the gate open on the pup pen, and they come and go as they please using the doggie door like pros. I still have a potty pool in the pup room along with their water. Sometimes they sleep under the ramp outside, or they crawl into the Playskol gym. Other times, I find them on the wooden step inside. In any event, they are enjoying themselves. In another week, they will have their first series of pup shots. At that time, I will allow them to go into the play area where there is lots of grass and room to run, run, and run some more!
