Why buy toys when a garbage can, dish pan, and storage box will do! This is Red girl on top of the garbage can–the pups climb up on top of the can, run inside–dig and wrestle and just generally have a good time! The dish pan when placed upside down rocks a little–the pups climb all over the dish pan and are not at all frightened by the rocking motion. Most days the grooming table is also flat on the floor for the pups to run and play on.

Buzz helping me by holding the towel (that I had just used to dry Sydney) on the floor. Whenever you try to do something and the pups are around they really like to help you–in fact, you have more help than you can actually use. All 3 of these pups are really growing now–eating puppy food (they especially like some canned food mixed in with the kibble) and want to spend more time out playing than being contained in their x-pen area. So much fun! So much energy–by 9:30 p.m. I’m exhausted and they’re still going.

This is the sweet Pink girl (aka Red girl)–still the smallest of the litter, but mighty!!! The puppies had their first bath–with only 3 pups in the litter Sydney has kept the pups very clean, but eventually they get kind of stinky from wrestling with each other. Miss Pink girl was very good in the bath and getting dried by the hair dryer. 
Blue girl is so active that to get a picture of her just sitting is almost impossible. Miss Blue was very good in with the bath and pretty good with the hair dryer (which she’ll have to get over because she was born a Bichon and there will be many bathes in the future!). 
Buzz getting ready to pounce on Blue girl–these 2 pups tend to wrestle with each other lots!! Buzz was good in the bath and with the dryer. For a first bath I was very pleased with the pups–I was not soaking wet and didn’t get scratched. Buzz loves to run and seems to be living up to his name. This week the pups will get their first set of puppy shots and have their first car ride (I’m hoping all will go well). Love this age–the pups are so much fun.

Buzz is playing with Sydney–he is trying to get her to wrestle with him. I think Buzz might be Sydney’s favorite pup–either that or she is always checking on him–he does have a tendency to get into trouble!

On my way to the beach, I stop and play in the leaves.
I wear a coat because it’s cold and damp on the beach

After such an exciting morning, it’s time to rest at home.

Bob and Sue had a lovely vacation on Vancouver Island so Reagan got to go to Snohomish to spend some time with Sheri, Michael and their Bichon family. Things she did on her vacation:
- played with her brother Monroe
- ran like the wind in and out of the house
- irritated Wynnie and Parker
- picked up a new nickname: “Tiny Dancer”
Reagan is almost 5 months old. Picture taking is not getting any easier….she still can’t sit still. We’re glad she is back home and she brought her best friend and playmate for a few sleep-overs. Monroe is here, too!
