Day 39

Puppies had their first trip outside yesterday. It was a fairly warm day for November so we decided a short outing would be good for the puppies.   They were a little overwhelmed at first, and a little shocked by the temperature change.  But within a few minutes they started to explore the driveway, and wander around a bit.  We kept the trip short, probably no more than 10 minutes.  I managed to get a few pictures of the puppies outside too!

We are starting to kennel train as well.  The puppies have now been left in their kennel a few times for an hour or so.  They are usually pretty sleepy when we put them in there and close the door, so they don't seem to mind the kennel so far.

I have also been petting and handling the puppies when they eat. I stick my hand in their dish, pet them, move them around a bit. The puppies are used to sharing with each other, so learning from an early age that a human may also be in the way is no big deal for them.

Here are some pics from today and yesterday.
