Pretty Orange Girl weighs 2lb. 5oz. She takes her time when she is introduced to something new. On the other hand, she is independent and will be off exploring all by herself.

It’s been a while since I’ve given a report:

  1. puppies are cutting teeth
  2. they had their first sleep-over at my daughter’s(while I was out of town)
  3. a new exercise area has been set up so they’ll have more room to run
  4. their first full bath and drying with a hair dryer took place and  they handled it surprisingly well
  5. they are eating softened kibble, but still prefer to nurse
Pink Girl weighs 2lb.3.6oz. She likes to play and try new things.

Green Boy is perhaps the rowdiest. He's the one who escaped from the big box (thus necessitating a new and larger play area, with higher sides!) He tips the scales at 2lb.4.1oz.

  1. Blue Boy must be camera shy. He wouldn't look at the IPad. He is not shy in any other way, though. He is our heaviest at 2lb. 8.6oz.

Cash also made the trip to the National Specialty.  He and his brother Monroe looked fabulous in the ring.

The "Boys" had a great time at the dog show.  Chip, the Grandpa of the other three, was a BIG winner (more about that in a later post.)

I was only out of town for a few days, but it seems like the puppies grew in size, abilities, and especially coat!  Thanks to my daughter for her excellent "puppy sitting"!
