UHG!

I can't believe I only have two more weeks with these guys! UHG!!!! The thought of them leaving is agonizing and the thought of picking one, even more so. I enjoy every minute with them. They are really nice little pups. All of them. Not one bad one (OK, they are all really pretty bad, most of the time :), in the bunch. Ransom has pretty much decided that she's just about done nursing them. She did a quick feeding this am (about 3 minutes), then taught all the pups that when she says "no", she means "no". Good lesson for all the pups. Learning to respect adult dogs. The girls got the message right away. The boys, not so much. Took a few times for them to figure out (amazing, huh?). This am, I had them all out running around in the family room and Shock came in the room. She's really only been subjected to them one at a time, or separated by an ex-pen. She got immediately swarmed by all five. She was SOOO good about it. Did a quick hello, then jumped on the couch for safety (smart girl). I later opened up the kitchen as well so the pups had a big area to run around in. It was so funny, they just ran laps back and forth, from one end of the kitchen to the end of the family room. They had a BALL! As far as other stuff, they are all eating well. They are on about 2/3 regular puppy food and 1/3 weaning formula right now. They also get hard puppy food when I put them back in their ex-pen as a treat. I put a handful on the fleece bed and they munch on it. Much easier to get them back in the pen that way :) They are drinking water like regular little puppies now and pretty much doing all regular puppy stuff. They are pretty good about keeping their pen clean. They prefer to potty on the papers in the family room. They are also really good about going outside too. Sirrah figured that one out quickly. Tomorrow, Denise (future puppy owner) is coming to see the pups. My nephew came over again yesterday. This time, they ALL swarmed him. I think Vega was the first to say hello. We'll see how they are with two new people tomorrow. I'll try to get some new pictures posted later.
