Pictures of Multiple Puppies taken during their fourth week (September 12-18, 2006). They can see and hear and are initiating contact now. They are learning how to walk and run albeit a bit unsteady still! And every now and then they will bark or growl and scare themselves. They are getting teeth so mom is appreciating frequent breaks. They are still in the Xpen because the next phase of containment is not done yet.

Day 21 -- September 12, 2006

All 7 of the puppies enjoying their freedom from the kiddy pool!

They are starting to wrestle and play. The first picture has Monty, Bongo, Jade, and Kiara all wrestling with Osiris looking on. Then Osiris decides to join in! Poor Monty (one looking straight at the camera) says help and then he and the girls leave Bongo and Osiris to 'duke' it out!

And then Osiris, Bongo and the girls take it elsewhere! Monty gets smart and heads off on his own.

Day 23 -- September 14, 2006

The puppies get to experience their first trip outside while I get their new "digs" ready in the bathroom closet! They had fun running around and playing but soon tuckered out!

Day 24 -- September 15, 2006

Hanging out in their new digs and enjoying their food! They are very messy eaters -- note the dog food pieces lying all around.
