Today it is raining. At least it isn't snowing.

Annie's puppies will be two weeks old tomorrow.  Poor Annie still has the squirting diarrhea and a raw bum.  I am trying all foods and all sorts of therapies on her.  Pepto Bismol, Acidophilus, cheese, no cheese, whatever she will eat, which is hit and miss.  Sometimes she will even eat dog food, sometimes only what I am eating.  Today she ate scrambled eggs for breakfast, salmon treats for lunch and dog food for dinner, but wouldn't eat any of those at any other time.  It is hard reading her mind.  All that being said, the puppies are fat and healthy.  Since they were taken a day or two early, they have not opened their eyes yet, but they seem to be fine otherwise.  I suspect they will open their eyes in a day or two.

Annie and babes.  One is too sleepy to eat!

Getting fat and roly poly!  Looks like some nice heads in that pack!

They can crawl after their mother faster than they used to be able to do that.  They latch onto the nipples faster too.  None of this fumbling around!
I keep hoping that some of these kids look like Annie's daddy, my second Border Terrier, CJ.  I can see their own daddy in some of them.  Annie has a cute face.  Maybe some of them will look like her, and she looks like her daddy!
Kat's kids are growing up.  They are running and jumping on the wobble board, jumping up onto the Bosu ball now and riding the skateboard.  They play with the toys on springs and seem to be trying to figure out why the toys wobble back and forth!  They love that crackly cat tunnel they have and run through it and the tunnel Louis made them when strung end to end.  They seem fearless at the moment and bark and growl at each other non stop in the kitchen, but have learned to be quiet at the office.  Big kids....

This always seems to be one of their favorite toys.  They learn early to bank off the wobble board.  It is loud, but fun.  These are COORDINATED dogs when they grow up.

They seem to love anything that moves better than a stationary toy.  I have seen them ride the skateboard clear across the kitchen!  One will inadvertently push while the other rides happily.  Fun, fun, fun.

I do love this age.  They continue to nurse, of course, until mom weans them, but mom doesn't for awhile.  At this age while they nurse their ears go back a certain way that shows how HAPPY they are.  It melts my heart.
Sting is playing with the Kat puppies, but every once in awhile gets a bit exuberant.  When that happens she gets to spend some crate time as she still isn't safe to be let loose in the rest of the house.
She is the athlete and is up on everything, walking along the downed tree in the yard, along the tunnels, etc.  She is amazing on the Bosu ball.  I need to start training her sit, stand, down and beg.  She takes her Star Puppy test on Tuesday.  You should see her on loose lead walking!  She does the figure 8 and will go down an entire line of cones weaving in and out and all on a loose lead.  She is a winner!
People coming this weekend to see puppies, people who want one of these.  Should be fun.
More sometime!!!!
