Out of the box --- it's a big world

It is hard to believe that the boys will be three weeks old tomorrow.  Today they had there first brief trip outside, and made the most of it.  I was so proud of them all. They sniffed and waddled and investigated --- lots of confidence.

So far, there is not much to distinguish between the boys in terms of behaviours, disposition or abilities. 

• They all wag their tail for me (and sometimes Pack Leader). 
• They are getting steadier on their feet, and are getting fast.
• Their vocabulary has increased --- new trills have been added to barks and howls.
• All are participating in puppy wrestling, and they seem to organize a scheduled rotation so that everyone gets to square up with everyone else.
• Their favourite place to curl up for a sleep is under my chin or tail.

We'll start using a flash in a couple of days so hopefully will get some better pictures. 

# 1

Little "Potter" reminds me a lot of Benny from the first litter.  He loves to cuddle, and studies the situation that faces him before launching into action.  This picture doesn't show off the considerable brown on his cheeks and his three tone front right leg (and back left leg).

#2

Little "Trim Jr." is a close looker for his father.  Not unlike his father, he launches into action with authority and fast pace.  He has perfected the under/over move and does a little run to celebrate his wrestling success.   So far, he is the smallest of the boys.  Very happy all the time.

    

#3

Little "Angle" (for the white triangle on his collar) was the first to open his eyes and has been the most social (thus far).  He comes to the side of the box for a pet before turning to the next wrestling match and he has fallen for Silken and wags his tail so hard when he smells or sees her that he sometimes falls over.

#4

Little "Disney" provides both choreography  and comic relief for his brothers.  First puppy to bark ferociously and wag his tail (at the same time).   Doesn't like getting his nails clipped, but does enjoy cuddling with Pack Leader and me when he is tired.  But he has to be good and tired, otherwise there is too much else to do and investigate.
