 Not sure who is more tired in these pictures?  Bo and Gracyn, or the puppies?   These were from Thursday after school. It seems like everyday after school the kids either ask if they can take the puppies in the house, or have already snuck a few in already!!  The kids are pretty content taking a few in at a time just as long as they have one or two to snuggle with in the chair and as you can see sing them to sleep for nap time! 
 These pictures are from this afternoon. It was gorgeous here with temps in the low 50's so we decided to let the puppies play outside for a few minutes.  With it being their first time in this new surrounding, they mostly huddle together and whine.  Hopefully the weather stays nice so I can get them out a few more times this next week.  It won't be long and we'll be having to round them up because they wander off.  This week we'll start them on wet food.  They are all growing and changing so quickly.  They are very alert now, and every time someone checks on them they perk up and have to come to the edge of the whelping box to see what is going on.   Right now I have one short side so Remi can get in and out easily, but that will also have to change this week because a few of the puppies have figured out that if they prop their front legs on the top that they can see more of what is going on.  By the end of the week they'll be escaping so the plan is to put the taller side on tomorrow.
