Day 41

It was absolutely beautiful out yesterday.  So the puppies came outside with us and ran around while we put up Christmas lights. The puppies were outside for a good hour, running around, chasing Spryte, playing with their toys and pouncing on lights.  They were absolutely exhausted after and came inside and crashed for several hours. 

Today the puppies had their first field trip.  We visited my sister's house and the puppies played with my two young nieces aged 15 months and 6 years old.  My older niece had a blast with the puppies.  She played tug with them, picked them up and cuddled them, played more and cuddled even more.  The puppies and Ashley were all in heaven.  My younger niece is currently teething and was a little grumpy.  She laughed and giggled at the puppies and then had more fun playing with the puppy paraphernalia ( x pen, puppy toys, kennel, actually she climbed right inside the kennel twice!).  There were also a few bouts of screaming due to sore gums.  The puppies handled the screeching surprising well.  They didn't startle at all, never stopped playing and really didn't even seem to notice the noise at all. I guess those sounds CD's are paying off!  All in all it was a great trip out for the puppies, great exposure to new sights, sounds and people and tons of fun for the kids.

Here is a video from yesterday and a couple pics from today with my nieces (pics taken with Iphone, so not great quality):
