Day 20 - Active mornings and Sawyer's intro to hunting

March 11, 2010.  The puppies are most active in the early morning.  I call it their morning calisthenics.  They seem to do laps around the whelping box.


Today we began training Sawyer for an upcoming hunt test.  Looks like he'll do fine. 

He had no problems finding the birds.

This afternoon the puppies had some more special visitors.  Here is Jacob with Girl Red.  One of the girls will be going home with his family in about 5 weeks.

Day 19 - Escaping and Special Guest

March 10. 2010.  Well the puppies are too big for the basket.  I put them in the basket while I'm cleaning the whelping box and we had 2 escapees today.  I'll have to use a crate going forward.

My friend Bobbie visited today...If it weren't for Bobbie the pups would be homeless...she was kind enough to load us the whelping box when the new one I had ordered didn't arrive in time (Thanks Bobbie!!).  She started stacking the pups, guess it's about time I started getting them used to it.  Here's Girl Yellow cooperating.

Girl Pink was happy just to relax in Bobbie's lap.

Girl Purple enjoyed the evening watching TV with Scott.

Day 18 - Tuesday...ok I've lost my creativity

March 9, 2010.  Looks like they are starting to form a pile to try to get out of the whelping box.

Poor Sharon, she can't even lay down to feed them.  They just attack as soon as she gets in there :)

As usual the girls pile on top of Boy Blue...

...but this time he breaks free.

Day 17 - Work apprentice and more video

March 8, 2010.  It was a quiet day working at home.  Luckily Girl Red was there to help out as I worked.

Now that YouTube is back up we can post some more video of the puppies...

Day 16 - Visitors and Kisses

March 7, 2010.  The puppies had visitors today.  Karey and Natalie came to visit the puppies and enjoyed spending time with them.

Saywer supervised to ensure the puppies were OK.

Natalie with Girl Orange.  Aren't they just so cute!

The pups pile up in the corner.  It doesn't seem to matter who you squash when you're sleeping.

Visitors always make the adults tired too.  Sharon and Brooke rest on the couch at the end of the day.

Boy Blue loves to give kisses.
