The Boys have been claimed! Congrats Jen, Nick and Gwen! You've each got a really nice pup waiting for you! And the time is drawing near! Three weeks from today, several of you will be introducing your pups to new surroundings and spending your long awaited first night with them! I wish I could be a fly on your walls to enjoy those precious first few hours as everyone gets acquainted.
We had a great day today! The whole lot was turned loose for a couple hours to explore the grounds with no restraints. Their stamina is still low and sleep needs high so a couple hours is about all they can take. They are becoming much better about following and seem to really enjoy chasing after me as long as I keep my speed to a minimum and don't run to far away from them. They also love attempting to crawl up my legs and have discovered a use for their teeth! I'm not sure which are sharpest at this point; the teeth or the nails :-(. It's hard to correct 11 of them at once but I would imagine the biting, climbing and clawing may be some of the first things you'll want to work on..... Best to correct them right off the bat!
I took some photos but wanted to enjoy the pups without worrying about keeping track of who was who while I snapped the shots. Some are obvious, some not quite as obvious as a result of position hiding their collars. Individual pages are due for their weekly photo updates again but I probably won't have a chance to take and upload them before Wednesday. That was part of the reason I attempted to get a shot of each of them yesterday. Tax day and a meeting tomorrow.... I must say, I'd much rather hang with the pups. Sometimes life just gets in the way!
