Well the puppies are now 6 weeks old, have received their first set of shots and today, went outside to meet the world. We generally don't put the pups outside until they've been vaccinated but especially if we're in a place where other dogs have lived before we were here. And that's the case in our new home. So, we waited a little longer and, with the weekend rains finally gone, set up the Xpens and let the puppies find out about grass, leaves, dirt, shade, sun and what it's like to simply run like crazy. They loved it!! It also gave us our first real chance to see the pups in unrestricted action and to see them self-stack, pose and demonstrate pack dynamics so we can see each of their personalities.

First up, the world outside of the whelping box .



Here are the boys: Big Blue, The Plumster and Rascally Red.



Ms. Pink showing us her topline.



Big Blue striking a pose.



The Plumster stretching it all out.



And, finally, several of Mr. Red who is fast getting to be our personal pick. Well, he and Big Blue. And, of course, the girls. Oh, heck, we have no clue yet but here are some cute pics of Mr. Red.











Ms. Lt Blue got the short end of my photography today but she was busy dive-bombing the other puppies. She'll be the focus of tomorrow's outing.

Enjoy,

Jim
