Day 42

Boring Title. Sorry!

Today, #1 and #2 came down to the creek and put there feet in the water. They were very surprised at first but figured out it was a big drinking bowl (which they were used to playing in anyways :)

This video I caught while nipping inside to put the laundry (puppy blankets create ENDLESS laundry!) in the dryer...This is Grannie Pat playing with Hank. Pat recognizes her puppies still (ask Grace, Val and Cathy!) and plays with her grown kids the same way (more sitting on heads though with the big kids). It is sweet, and look at Hank trying to figure out the game and being all polite! What a little gentleman!



This is a miscellaneous outdoor action video. The puppies spent most of the afternoon dosing in the sun and were not very energetic. The 2 puppies disappearing under the deck went after Woody who had just taken refuge there with a freshly caught mouse. Not sure if he shared or not.




SO!!! WELL!!! You guys (with reserved pups) are giving me a HARD time with the puppy placement! Geez. So far 2 of the puppies have the most demand!!! My top 2 picks have almost NO interest??? They are changing daily now, in looks and personality. I swear #2's back got longer today, and she gained yet another level of confidence (of which she was NOT lacking :), and #4 turned into a tugging maniac (mostly my hair - ouch! Serves me right to lie on the floor and let puppies climb all over me!) and is very keen on toys. #3 still thinks he should be king, but his manners around the big kids and even the cat are impeccable and sweet. #1 - those deep soulful eyes that look right up at you, and her thoughtful ways make me think there is a very mature dog inside that little package...She is my shadow, she follows me almost everywhere, confident in her ways, yet thinking..Figuring things out. And HANK (the man) - yes, he looks quite the hound dog right now, but he will be a stunner I bet when his proportions even out again (as in his ears!!) And his personality is so balanced yet quirky too!

Official "Puppy Testing" will be done this weekend as well as some profile shots for those that need to see that (if I can get them to stand still long enough!) Stay tuned!

My first thought- wow, they grew some legs. They do look longer, leaner, taller. Adorable as always! Thanks for keeping us posted. :)

I can fix this --I will take all the puppies. Problem solved. ; )

They did grow legs, though!

I think this is kinda funny after we are reading and already sent in our top picks, and everyone posting has little hopes...it's cute. No offense meant -it just seems endearing?
