Day 36

Wow the puppies are 5 weeks old already. I am really feeling the time crunch now. The puppies will be with me for one more month and we have so much to do in that time!  On the agenda are lots more people visits, short car trips, trips to a few people's homes, exposure to different surfaces and objects, grooming and kennel training. Wow do we have our work cut out for us now!

Today the puppies had a chance to play in a new room of the house.  We blanketed a bedroom, added some toys and a few novel objects (a chair on it's side and "Joe Bo", a 2' creepy looking wooden statue).  The puppies loved the large room and spent a good 20 minutes running around, exploring, and playing.  Spryte loved the large space too and really started playing with the puppies. She dragged the toy around with the puppies following and tugging.  Spryte batted them around with her paws, nudged them, play bowed and generally had some wonderful mother/child moments.

The puppies got a fun new toy today too. A sheepskin tug toy with lots of coloured leather strips
hanging underneath.  They both loved it and instantly started to chase and tug on it. I have a short video of them playing with their new toy and some other toys.

Here are pics and videos from today and yesterday. (first picture above is the boy, second picture girl)
