Finally complete! Would still like to add a side show for the week but always about this time and age I need more hours in the day. So we'll see.
It's incredible the changes made in the course of a week when comparing photos... I first noticed it when posting Purple's pics but now that I'm done, quite a few of them have really gained a much more mature look. Looking like little doggies now instead of roly poly puppies.
Such Sweet Babies!
We enjoyed a nice day after a brief, I wish more brief, trip into Gainesville for supplies. The pups had another outdoor dining session followed by a photo shoot of the girls and a romp as a group for all. Their follow me is getting better- some better than others and they're really getting inquisitive and playful. They all tried to climb aboard the big blue ball you see in a few of the photos. Most failed miserably. I've got a tether tug too that I tried to engage them with but for the most part it was ignored. I found Irish going to town on his own playing with a rope toy. He seems to really enjoy the toys. I often find him playing with the ball and dumbbell they have in their indoor habitat. Occasionally I'll hear a squeak. But the trees... they all seem to especially love the trees and are bent on climbing them.
As far as food goes, they're eating like champs. Pink girl routinely jumps out of the pot for a minute follow me but as I get out of her reach she always jumps right back in. They're doing a good job of consuming calories for upcoming exponential growth! I'm feeding in groups of two now. The black and rust girls along with the four smaller male pups comprise group one- and the gluttons the other. It's funny to watch them. I set the littles up with their food first today and then immediately thereafter set the gluttons up for their feast. Not surprisingly the gluttons, even with a delayed start and additional food, finished their allotment first. Then looked longly over at group one, still eating, wondering why they couldn't jump in there and help them finish.
