Play, Play and Play some more. (7 weeks)

Oh thank goodness for some decent weather! They go in and out at will now and they just love it. The only times I shut them in their x-pen is when I feed them and for the night. Otherwise, it is open for them to go play or come in to lay down on the step or anywhere else in the puppy room. Believe it or not, I do sometimes find one or two on the big animal or in the crate. Many times, however, they love to lie under the ramp in the shade! They use the same spot to have a bark fest playing 'hide n seek'.

We have been working very hard on the play area, getting it prepared for the artificial turf. It is a tremendous amount of work and I thank God everyday, we have a tractor. Although somewhat handicapped, my husband Carl, is still adept at the tractor controls. Maybe, just maybe, we may have it done in another week. I so want this to be the first litter to enjoy it.

Please don't be alarmed if the pups have a dirty face, or something stuck on their fur - they are having a ball out there and 'puppies will be puppies'!
