Pup Stuff

All the puppies got baths today. Usually I wash one, dry one, wash one, dry one etc. But today I decided to wash each one and let them air dry out on the deck until all five were washed, then I'd start drying.

Green was first to get bathed, then Yellow. After I finished bathing the third puppy, I went to put him out on the deck and noticed Green and Yellow were missing. They had somehow broken thru the "impenetrable barrier" I had created, gone down the steps and were out in the yard playing with Ilsa.

Wet puppy + yard with almost no grass = you guessed it, wet, dirty puppies. Luckily most of the dirt blew off during the drying process.

Speaking of "impenetrable barriers"... my double thick barrier between the deck and the house worked well, didn't it? Here's Black, having made it past the first layer she is working on climbing over the 2nd layer...



Grandma Kachina

Aside from Raven there's another dog in the house who is going to miss the puppies.

Every single morning for the past 9 weeks Grandma Kachina has made it a point that the first thing she does each morning is check on her grandkids.

Even before she goes out to go potty she runs into the room where the puppies are to makes sure they are all okay. When they were in the whelping box she would jump in and touch noses with each one. Now that they are in the ex-pen and she can't reach them, she circles the pen, making sure all is well, only then will she head outside.
