Yesterday we made our longest car trip yet - 1 3/4 hours to Brockville, Ontario to visit my Uncle Donald and Aunt Val, cousins and extended family. Everyone loved my boys, and the boys put on a grand performance. I was one proud Mom.
Following are some pictures Uncle Donald took.

When we dropped off Gayla in Kingston, we thought the puppies might need a pee break --- and we had a spontaneous block party break out. The boys sure are popular and love people --- and I must confess it isn't so bad getting lots of compliments and pets myself (although the occasional liver treat from these puppy affectionados wouldn't go amiss).
When we got home, everyone was ready for bed --- and last night we had only one little accident (in the second half of the night).
We spent a quiet day in the back yard with the big dogs playing fetch and the pups playing with their favourite toys --- a plastic water bottle and a margarine tub. Keep away is starting, and when they get a hold of the big dogs cloth frisbee, they try hard to build pack relationships. Faolin isn't buying in to that program yet, but it is amazing how well each of them have learned to read what behaviour is acceptable with each member of the pack.
They love Silken, and would love to get Faolin and Maggie's participation in play. Not a chance .... yet.
Tonight, crate training begins (so keep us all in your thoughts and prayers). Don't feel too badly for them --- Pack Leader is a softy and starts with two in a crate and half nights. He apparently doesn't have my ability to ignore needless whimpering.
Tomorrow we are on the road again --- hopefully we'll get a video worth sharing.
