Here is our puppy family together at the vet last week.  Heartworm tests for the adults, rabies for Vando, checkups and chiropractic for the pups.  All passed with flying colors.

Here are the boys; blue, green and yellow:

Puppies at 7 weeks.  Time goes by so quickly.  Next week the puppies start going to their new homes.  We posed the puppies in our rose bush, except for purple girl who got to pose on the porch railing.  Here are the girls;  Purple and orange:

By the time I got the girls' baths, the boys were already dirty again.  It will be interesting getting them all clean at one time for their coming out part on Saturday when we have an AKC judge and some of the new puppy families at our house for a conformation evaluation.  More about that later.  Here are the bath photos for purple and orange girls.

The first of many baths.  Here are the boys, yellow, green and blue.  They were good puppies and likely wondered what was happening, but they didn't struggle and they loved it when they got wrapped up in a big warm towel and my husband John cuddled and dried them off.  They are such good little babies.  The next bath we'll have to move them to the big dog tub, they are too big for my sink!

Finally a video of the puppies at play.  I could not load it onto the blog, so have put it on youtube.  Very amateur but shows how much fun the puppies are getting to be.  They play longer and sleep harder.  They still eat fairly often.
They just get cuter every day.  Here is the link to the video.  Enjoy!

Photos of their first baths coming soon!

We have a new toy, a slide!  Hey Mom,  purple girl is going up the wrong way.

Orange girl is going up the steps, Blue boy is down, and yellow boy is making sure everyone plays by the rules.  Green boy and purple girl are deciding who gets to go next.

We posed this one since the puppies all tend to run over to the photographer once we are down on their level.
