Exploring life in the great outdoors has begun! They have lots of room to wrestle and run donuts in their kennels.

Puppy agility is practiced daily, though they have found plenty of obstacles on their own when let out of lockdown.

Their teeth are razor sharp....better to munch food, fingers, the agility course and each other!
There are rules of 7 that applies to puppy socialization; one such rule is to expose puppies to seven different surfaces by the time they are 7 weeks. In the house, they got to walk on fabric, plastic, newspaper, painted wood and carpet. This week has brought exposure to concrete, shavings, rocks, dirt and grass. Rumor has it the heat will be arriving late next week, so they may be interested in getting into the water, or at least splashing in it!

Now that they have had a taste of the great outdoors, we hear about it anytime we don't let them out of "lockdown" status! By the time they are 8 weeks old, they will have NO problems adjusting to their new homes!
They love finding hiding spots, so as play time winds down, it can be like a scavenger hunt to try to find them all to put them back in their proper sleeping spots. Really, their lives are pretty good these days!
