It's interesting how the puppies have become so in tune to their surroundings and the comings and goings in our busy household in the past week. They are in our dining room which is right next to the main entrance. We used to be able to come in and out of the front door and they would stay asleep on their dog bed. Now, every time the door opens, they all rush over to see who is coming in. I'll miss seeing them there when they start leaving in a few weeks. The windows in the dining room are low maybe 18" off the floor. The puppies are putting their paws on the sill so that they can see out of the windows into the yard. I need to get a photo of this but it could be tricky....

Every morning, they are frantic for their breakfast. I put the 3 dishes down and then try to clean up as much of the room as I can in the time that they're eating. Otherwise, the puppies are running thru the mess, jumping around and wanting to be picked up. Blue boy always leaves his breakfast and comes over to me wagging his tail for a quick kiss and a cuddle. Then, he goes back to eat with the others.

Pink girl seems to have the idea that she doesn't belong with the puppies but is much happier being out with the big dogs and me. She follows Terra not even trying to nurse. Evan was playing ball with her in the kitchen yesterday and she raced every time to get it. I wouldn't say that she is retrieving perfectly to hand but definitely on her way. My little ticked girl is not so little. She is probably the same size as Yellow and Green. Yellow is the biggest kisser always licking your face when someone picks her up. Green is really into the toys and likes to get the ball as well. All of the puppies are wagging their tails vigorously when I come into their room which is really cute.
