The Face

Wading through Puppies

There is a loud noise at the end of this video. I have no clue what it is. I can only say that it is not a puppy. It might be a metal pan on concrete where the rest of the litter was playing. But no puppy was harmed in the making of this video....I can't say the same for the human legs involved.

Puppy play

Bigger and Better

Sorry it's been so long since I've written. The pups are keeping me busy! They are so cute and so interested in everything. I'll get some new photos tomorrow.

The carnage starts

It is a choice between needle teeth and 96 degree heat with 80% humidity....I'll take the teeth for now but in a week I'll be crying. The pups have learned to use their mouths to play and capture moving things. I am so pleased at how keen they are. They love my pants legs for this.

Meanwhile their coordination is improving and one of the little boys tried to jump out of the kiddy pool today. I was really wowed by that at this age.

I'll try to get some video tomorrow. It's kinda dark in the house for the primitive video capacity of my camera and really hot outside. But I'll see what I can do.

A Morning of New Focus

This morning some of the more developmentally advanced pups have a brand new look of focus. They will spy something of interest, gather the body together, ears forward, eyes steady on their target, and then suddenly, rush forward to....well, my pants leg...or a litter mate...and bite. Good morning new brain cells!!!

Lest I sound a bit too analytical...this is so much fun and I am enjoying pups and mother lots.

Circe is enjoying her pups. They attack her beard and pull on it and with a bemused look she gives them a great big lick with her tongue covering their face and over they go. This stage will end soon as they are developing coordination and not falling so easily.

Sluggish Air Conditioning

It's a very hot day in Atlanta today. I walked into the puppy room and thought, hmm!, it seems a bit too warm in here. I went to check the vent to make sure it was open and the air was working, but I found it blocked by foreign objects....3 pups sound asleep all in a row on top of the vent...two of them on their backs with feet in the air. I didn't have the heart to move them. I'm sure they'll wake up refreshed.
