Most Recent Puppy Pictures

Hi! The puppy's pictures will speak for themselves I suppose. I don't have much to say this week, except it has been a week of firsts for the little guys. Their mom has been separated from them for most of the day and she seems happy with brief visits. I would be too if puppies with sharp teeth descended upon me in a horde looking for a quick meal! Dancer is so sweet and tolerant. She lets them maul her and when she's had enough, she looks at me with soft, expressive eyes that basically say, "Please, get me the heck out of here! Now."

The other firsts involved the first car ride, the first visit to the vet clinic, the first check up, and the first vaccinations. Everyone did well except Griffin, who was the only one to squawk when he got his shot. The puppies were a big hit with the staff at the clinic. It was good for them to be passed around and socialized.

They are now nearly 8 weeks old. Time has flown. As Dancer's work decreases, it seems that mine has increased. The little rascals can get into the strangest places and predicaments! The potty training is coming along. They seem to be getting the hang of it -- more or less! LOL  Their personalities are emerging. Gracie is the more outgoing of the two girls. Olivia is spoiled by our granddaughter, who claimed her when she was only a few days old. (Guess which girl I'm keeping?) Sebastian has appointed himself CEO. Griffin is second in command. He is the scout and the explorer. Gabe is the quiet one who sits back and takes it all in. Rafe is a cuddle bug and likes nothing better than to be held in the crook of my arm on his back. A couple tummy rubs and he is in dreamland.

Life is good when you have a Lhasa to love you!

More later.
