4 Weeks 3 Days

You can find the gallery on Nami's blog today.

It is interesting to see the dynamics of this 3 crew. As they are so close in age, you do not see the development changes once they are together. The younger ones try the things the older ones do and they will eventually achieve what they do as if they are the same age. 

There was a stage when they were separate that you could see the difference in age. You can't any longer. They have achieved cohesiveness and treat each other as siblings. It's a LOT of work with 16. Lots of cleanup. Lots of laundry - feeding is something else especially by yourself. But large groups do make better pups as they have many to learn from and they learn how to deal with others that want to play or don't. They have many to learn how to relate to each other. For me, I find the work insane. At this stage I am going from 7am till 11pm - no tv unless I am grooming and that's a half watch or a 1 hour break that I pay for by having to stay up later to get everything done. But the end result is wonderful. 

I wash from morning till after I go to bed when Dennis continues. 

I can't wait till true spring. Pups going outside. Fun will come - okay it is already here but as we go it evolves. You will enjoy!

Videos coming soon.
