Play Hard / Sleep Hard

Play, Eat, Sleep.

That's a puppy's life for you. Sammy's little family is so much fun to watch now. They chase the kids all over the yard and love to wrestle with twigs, leaves and each other. Jeff took this picture with the puppies up on the play system we have in the back yard.




After an hour or so of playing with my family in the yard, all the puppies settle down for a nice nap.

Aren't they adorable!

Play Time!

Sibling rivalry.... It starts.

5 Weeks Old

The puppies are 5 weeks old now and really starting to show their individual personalities. In fact, they protested a change in puppy food, necessitated by supply shortages here in Weiser, to the point that I had to go to Fruitland today to get the puppy food they like the best. (ProPac Performance Puppy. It's the one we fed Sammy while she was pregnant and nursing the puppies.)

Road Trip

The Puppies, all 11, went to preschool today with Jayden for "Show and Tell". His class was learning about animal emotions, and what better example can there be than a puppy. All the children had so much fun with the puppies, that they didn't want me to take them when it was time to go. The puppies, on the other hand, were very glad to get back home.

Sad Day

We discovered one of the puppies we had nursed back to health just a few short days ago dead this afternoon from an unknown cause. He was the smallest of the litter, but a beautiful yellow puppy. It saddened me deeply.
