DAY #71
Well taking a puppy for a walk is more preparation than it is action. With three you have to have help, truth! Getting the puppies in harnesses, gathering rewards, passing each puppy to the appropriate person, and then off you go for a gloriously short micro walk. We went three houses down our street and…
Day #65 – #67
Put the pedal to the metal and GO! That is what it feels like with three puppies that are nearing 10 weeks of age. They want to explore and check out everything, at three different speeds, in three different directions, with three different ways of interacting with the environment. They are all coming into their…

DAY #57 & #58

DAY #56
Happy 8 weeks! We started with a -15° morning, and the gusting winds. It kind of hit the 8 week old mark perfectly – rock n’ roll! The puppies had their first Health Exam – My veterinarian came to my home for two hours, observed the puppies together with their group dynamics, and then examined…
