3 1/2 Weeks Old - Puppy Play

The boys have been outside for 15 minute adventures, once or twice a day since the weekend.  Play time is gradually increasing to almost 30 minute stretches, but that is followed by lots of sleep.  They are starting to make short little running bursts, and picking up more visually --- their noses aren't having to work as hard at plotting where to go next. 

They are very interested in playing with me after nursing, but unfortunately Pack Leader has been slow on capturing these instances with the camera.  As with all puppies, their attention span is a work in progress.  One second they are after me to play but can be easily distracted by the wagging tail of a brother that might require a bite.  Wagging tails are almost constant when awake.

#4 learned from #1 today that if you bite, expect to be bitten back.  Over the coming weeks, many more of these lessons will be learned.

How come the pack leader never makes it into the videos, a la Alfred Hitchcock?

Thanks for your question Arthur.

Pack Leader is an enigma --- rarely heard and never seen. Well, maybe he is heard but rarely captured on camera.

How are things in England? Did we get your Queen back safe and sound?
