OUTSIDE!!!

So this posting is mostly pictures (you can actually *click* any picture to see it BIGGER...this is the litter's first evening outside.  Its almost 96 F so we waited until the sun was almost down before we took them out.

Snail-ee has to play with the puppies she has been watching for so long from afar!

Lily with her incredible bronze eyes~~

"I hope its not time to go inside"

All kinds of smells....

Some play like tough guys, others sit and watch.

and watch...

Investigation of one little puppy...Snail has such a serious look on her face :)

What a sweet boy!

This is Lula, named after Lily's nickname

"Lily-Lula"

Some crawl around under Little's belly...

 And then nap a bit.

Finally everyone's tired of looking and smelling and its time to take puppies back inside.

Moved to a bigger space~~

The pups have grown at such a rate they were in need of EXPANDING their horizons!  Moved them into the kitchen in a wire crate with access to a "run" in the kitchen with paper so they will learn to do their business away from their sleeping area.  

After only  a few days we saw they were happy but still didn't have enough room so we expanded their "run" area to twice the size this morning.  They really are not playing yet in big ways but just barking and rolling a little.  Soon the crazy play will begin and the funniest time is when you come in and find they have completely shredded their paper in the run and are all hiding under a canopy of brown "leaves"...hilarious....but messy!

They have now eaten three meals in their short little life.  Three breakfasts.  Tonight we start them on dinner and they will be eating twice a day plus all the milk Lily provides when she wants to be in with them.  She is tiring of them slowly...asking "out" in this picture above.

Update on Snailee...she's a clown and doing great!  Here is her French Bulldog impression~~!
