The Brave New World

At three weeks old, I am pleased to report that the State of the Puppies is good.

While most of their time is still spent sleeping and eating, all of the pups can walk a bit and all of them are playing with their brothers and sisters.

It will only be another day--or perhaps just a few more hours-when the most adventurous of the pups climbs out of the whelping box and into the brave new world of the blue tarp which is now down outside the box.

Anticipating puppies running around everywhere, I've set up the perimeter fence, so puppies will stay in, but Deca can go in and out. This will work for a while, but we know, from the last litter, that it won't last for long.

This morning, I put on colored ID collars on the pups: Gray, Blue, Red and Green.

Pictures to follow.
