Wishing all our friends near and far very Happy Holidays and the very best in the New Year!! ๐๐๐พ๐พ๐๐
Aria has been guiding EmmyLou in the fine art of bitey face. The photos are a bit blurry but you can see Aria is so gentle with her. This is what Flow did with Aria, still does. They can sound loud and scary but the contact, if any, is very light. Seeing Aria teaching this was so cool.

This afternoon the girls had a dance session ๐๐คฃ๐
This afternoon the 3 remaining puppies played outside for a long time. The lawn service guys came and the puppies were curious/interested but not scared in the least.
Then they continued digging several of the holes in their play yard ๐ฌ๐ They would dig then jump in their pool. Repeat, repeat, repeat. They ended up a filthy mess so each one got a lovely bath and then crashed until dinner time. Aria played so much with them. She's playing with them the same way Flow plays with her. Lots of noise but gentle mouths!

It was a beautiful day here. The puppies spent a lot of time outside playing and splashing in their kiddie pool today. It's been too cold to continue with real swim lessons. Hopefully as it warms up the next few days lessons can resume.

This morning Stevie left with her new Mom. Stevie also has a young lady that she's been playing with non stop since they got home this evening. She is going to have a great life with lots of love. Stevie is now also known as Luluโฃ๏ธ
Well, all the puppies are still here tonight. Flight delays that turned into cancellations are the cause. So sweet Stevie sleeps one more night in a crate with siblings. What a terribly long day for her new Mommy. All will work out and she'll be off to her new home in the morning.
Scenes of the puppies running and exploring the house for your viewing pleasure tonight!!

This morning the puppies had their visit with the vet for vaccines, microchips and health certificates. They are all healthy and cleared for moving to their new homes. Thank you Dr. Valerie Biehl, Chris and Shelby for everything.
For those wondering how much bigger Bruce is compared to the littlest, EmmyLou, he is 10.2 lbs and she is 5.2 lbs!!
Dr. Biehl wanted me to let her know how the puppies were this afternoon. She wanted to make sure they were active and playing. ๐คฃ๐๐ฌ Check check check ๐๐๐

Random photos and a video. Such busy puppies. At 8 weeks old they are very advanced hole diggers!! ๐

Huge success last night. First time putting puppies in crates at bedtime. Three crates, 2 puppies, 2 puppies and 3 puppies. All have Snuggle Puppies which I think are magic. ๐ At most two puppies cried for maybe 4 minutes and then silence for 5.5 hrs ๐๐๐๐๐
Tonight the combinations are different in each crate.
Today they got the short leash tabs which let them get pulled on, jerked or otherwise bothered. This helps them with leash walking which seems easy compared to what they do to each other!!

More crate games today. Individual puppies in an area of the house they don't hang out in and each one was only interested in playing the game. ๐
Also, a very different reaction to the music mat....

Lots of outside playtime today and crate games. They love going in the crates, of course they're getting super high value treats!!

***NO PUPPIES WERE HARMED IN THIS VIDEO***
It's this noisy chatter I will miss! ๐๐ณ๐คฃ
Today was the temperament test for each individual puppy. They all did really well. Confident, playful, engaging and all tails wagging. Thank you Melanie Chan for your help and awesome notes on each puppy. It was a lot of work but we finished by playing with them outside, had a picnic and then back inside for a several hour nap (puppies not me ๐๐คฉ). I then called everyone with the news of which puppy was theirs and all were very happy with the chosen ones. Just 10 days before the first one leaves.

Today is a different story with the ball pit. ๐ Chasing the balls as they pop out of the box is equally fun.
The puppies had visitors last evening and this morning. Long drive for a short visit but we're very happy they came. Thank you J & C!!
