Exploring, Playing and Sleeping

Sorry for the long delay in postings.  Pack Leader was away for a few days (but we had Gayla and Kirsten looking after us), and we've been spending lots of time outdoors.

We had our first little hiccup.  #2 (Trim Jr.) had a swollen right eye-lid which seems to have corrected itself over the last couple of days.  Could have resulted from puppy play or an insect bite --- we made a trip to Dr. Michelle to rule out worse possibilities.  At any rate he now seems to be just fine, and we'll keep a close watch for the next several days to make sure.

The pups are getting quicker with each day, and aren't tumbling as much.  They are a very happy bunch.

I am astonished that they are now over four weeks old --- the time has passed so fast.  I enjoy playing with them, but they are still at the stage where they want more nursing than play from me.  However, there are a few pictures of #4 and I playing after nursing.

Pack Leader starts a three week stretch of holidays on Friday so we hope to do better with the blog over the final weeks we have the pups.


First some new pictures, followed by a short video.

Dear Caitlin

Those are great pics. Keep 'em coming.

Did you hear about the dyslexic insomniac human? He lies awake all night wondering if there's a dog...
