| Pictures 1 and 2 fortunate that Brazin is still allowing them to nurse. They don't need her milk anymore, but don't pass up the chance for a quick drink when mommy goes in to check up on things. The other day, I came home to find Brazin limping and holding her leg up. I assumed she tried to jump into the box while I was out and sprained her leg. You can see how high the sides are now that we have a few escape artists. The vet checked her and found that it did not appear to be from spraining her foot but from another bout of Lyme. Sorry guys, moms going on meds now, so take your last drink. |
play time, this test coupled with my own observations, is another good tool to help me to guide the family in deciding which
puppy would be best for them.
Along with that testing, this past week they also had their 1st Vet visit for their health checkups, been de-wormed a third
time, and had more times outside in the ex-pen,to enjoy the fresh air and observe more of this world they are so
anxious to explore. At 8 weeks of age, they will be receiving their first shot in a series of vaccines they will need to get in
order to protect them from serious illnesses, like Parvo and Distemper, which unvaccinated animals can contract. In order to
get the puppies used to them, for when they go home, I also have them wearing regular collars.
Then, last but not least, right before they leave here, they get to visit the MOA Beauty Salon where they will receive a luxurious
soak in the tub, get their nails and ears done, fluff dried, and then wrapped in a straight jacket so they can't get dirty again till
they go home. Only kidding about the straight jacket part. However, as much fun as the puppies are, 10 of them together is a
challenge to keep them clean. I will not go into details, but I am sure you can use you imagination for that one.
There are not too many pictures this week, because the pups just run to me whenever I approach the box, so the pictures
are all basically very similar and blurry. I will be making up another video shortly, so check back to this page from time to time
to see if I put up the link under the VIDEOS OF THE PUPPIES section above.

"Finally" they say. "We are ready to
move on outta here, be free, and
explore the world".
Well, not so fast sweet puppies.
You still have a few more days
here before you will get to meet
your new families and have
some more freedom. Believe me,
move on outta here, be free, and
explore the world".

| Pictures 1 and 2 Nearly impossible to get a picture that isn't a bit blurry because the puppies are so active now. As soon as they see someone they dart over hoping to get picked up. They are soooo ready to go into their new homes. Each day leads to more of a challenge to make sure a puppy cannot climb out. It has already happened a couple of times. Fortunately though, Brazin understands that the whelping box and will come and get me. She has even awoken me in the middle of the night, to let me know about an escape artist roaming the room. |

| Picture 1 Lakota has found a nice spot where he doesn't get into any trouble by climbing out of the box, and yet he can look all around in spite of the high walls containing the puppies. WOW. Look how he is so relaxed peering over the side. He must be pretty strong to hang on to the post and not fall back down. Picture 2 NOT! As you can see in the second picture, he is not Super puppy after all. Lakota found a toy which was hanging down from the side of the box and figured out that he could stand on it to stay perched above the sides to look out. Goldens are very smart dogs. Actually, 4h place in the intelligence scale for dogs, just after the Border Collie, Poodle, and German Shepherd. |
| Below are some examples of the PAT exercises that are done with the 7 week old puppies. as a way to test behavioral tendencies and predict what a puppy will be like as an adult. Seeing these pictures makes me sad because my close friend Pat, who is doing this test with the puppies, was suddenly called home to be with the Lord 3 days later. I miss you Pat. |
