Who needs a stinkin’ bath anyway?

This is Blue Boy and he did very well at the spa.

Puppies had a big week.  They had their first experience going outside.

They are spending more time playing with the older dogs.

They love to explore the house.

Pictures were taken in a hurry.  I didn’t have a lot of time, but didn’t want to miss the milestone of their 6 week birthday.

Red Girl.  She did not want to sit still for a picture.

Black Boy.  He did not want to be held this way so is giving me a little scowl.

I often see pups sleeping on their backs, but I rarely see them

with their front legs thrown over their head.

Maybe Blue Boy was tired from gathering all those toys!

Green Boy.  Right before this photo, he had his foot in his mouth...they'll teethe on anything they can find.

Right now the puppies are having a big nap.  Why wouldn’t they?  At 5 a.m. they were up and ready for the day.  (I was not)

I managed to get a few pictures, in between their naps, wild play time, teething on the xpen, their toys and each other.

Sweet Red Girl.  Don't let this expression fool you.   She loves to explore and mix it up with her siblings.

Purple Girl.  She's a live wire.  She likes to take off down the hall to explore unknown territory.

Black Boy.  I think this is so cute.  He is lying on one toy and using another toy for his pillow.

Blue Boy.  At this stage, he is the most likely to stay back and assess a new situation.  But this trait can change from day to day.

As the first picture demonstrates, Red Girl and Green Boy were more interested in wrestling than in

posing for their portraits.

He’s the biggest of the litter.  He’s very content and also adventurous.  I think he’s very handsome!
