Crazy Busy Day

It's been a crazy busy day. Sorry about the lateness. I have not done the videos yet. I will after the blogs. I am also trying to get the bags and stuff ready and my printer is giving me fits so short update today.

Here is the gallery.

Pups had a ton of fun up and down the deck with many new and old pals. Moms (Tempie) and moms to be seem to gravitate towards them. They have been out 4 times today and are waiting for their 5th time. Nothing like puppy time.

They seem to be hitting the pad consistently and are going up and down the stairs. Tomorrow bath time. I haven't decided if I have time for all the photos or not but am going to try.

Tuesday Play

Here is the gallery.

Short blogging today. It seems the last week is always short of everything but did manage to get enough photos today.

The videos are already up and was early. I was multi-tasking.

The pups go up and down the stairs quite well. They play and perfect their skills each time they play. It's nice to see the changes. 

They had 4 play sessions outside today already. As I am late updating, they will head upstairs in about an hour and a half for their night sleep. We clean both xpens daily and all the blankets, toys etc. That begins soon. 

I am shocked its after 8 pm already and still got things to get ready other than cleanup. Crazy how that happens.

New Players

Here is the gallery.

Some of the visitors that wanted got to play with the pups. It was great exposure for the olders and the younger set. They will have their last deworming tomorrow. This gives them a few days before departure in case they react to it. They have had 2 earlier dewormings without issue but each have the potential to have a unique reaction and I like to be careful and not send home deworming the day before. Their stools have been solid from birth till now. Sometimes stress creates an issue with looseness but that usually rectifies itself on its own. I do not suspect they will have an issue in the least. Their digestion has been great no matter what I throw at them. New events, new foods. All good!

The videos are already up. I just put another up as they played with some adult visitors that was curious and wanted to. All did well with each other.

As I type, the pups are back outside on 2 decks. They go up and down now. I am impressed. 

Thursday they will have yet another bath. It may be just Dennis and I as Spirit has her xray that day and if Nathan's knee doesn't improve (I drew a line around the redness), he will be going to the dr fpr its 1st opening. If it does grow, I will take him in to where I go. 

I have much to do to get ready for pups going home. I do it here and there. Please bring a large sherpa bag or sherpa like bag. Don't go medium or small. They can even sleep in it on your bed or on the floor next to you those 1st few night and you can travel with them in it to go to the store to get a collar and lead. No blanket is needed as we have one for you that we will rub on mom so they have that comforting scent.

Last Week Before Home

Here is the gallery.

As it was raining, the pups had a great time upstairs. They ran. They tumbled and simply had fun.

Videos are already up.

There is much to do before they depart. I will miss them greatly. No matter how I feel, they make me smile. They are such great puppies.

Last Visit Before Home

This is the male - Brodie and his human mom. She came to visit despite an achilles issues. I hope she is okay. I have been thinking about her all day hoping she is okay.

Reminder, we still need to know pickup day as I can't do the paperwork otherwise and I won't be ready. LOL

It was a low key play day and it was a hot one. 

Here is the gallery. 

Sorry I only got photos and videos from the visit. I promise to do better tomorrow. 

Videos are coming soon.
