Three weeks old!

These photographs were taken yesterday afternoon, when we had a very warm and breezy day. This was the first time the puppies' feet have touched the ground out of doors. It was so fun to watch their reactions ... some snuffed the breeze, some immediately started off to explore and others just sat there, waiting to see what happened next. Although they are only barely three weeks of age, they are already playing, growling and wrestling, pottying in an area separate from where they sleep (most of the time), and have had their first taste of solid food. (Actually, they found a shank bone segment that Molly had been chewing on today and they all gathered around that and tugged on the gristle that encased it ... so funny ... their little teeth have to be all of a sixteenth of an inch long! I can tell they already have their Daddy's zest for life! They have been sleeping and eating to LOUD tapes of thunderstorms, dog show noise, rock and roll and country music. They're quite entertained with Rachel's French Horn, Piano and the banging of pots and pans. When someone knocks on the door and the other dogs run, barking, they all stand up and bark too! Talk about cute! Click on each puppy's photos for an enlarged version. Also, check out the puppy page on the website for additional photographs
