The Changing of the Guard

Yesterday, right on time, 10:00 AM, Betty and Skip brought the Birthday Crew and Mom, Bonnie, to my house.  They were four weeks old yesterday.  Betty and Skip are either bereft without Bonnie and the puppies or happy to be spending quality time with Zinger teaching her Rally, Tracking, Agility, Obedience, etc. or both happy and sad.  My guess would be both.
The gang has fit in beautifully.  Some of their time is spent in the puppy pen and some in the kitchen on the equipment and some out in the side yard that I mowed for them this morning.  They seem to be having fun.  At about noon yesterday a family who have a Zinger sister came by and socialized the babies.  Those children are two and about five years old.  They, just like my 12 year old granddaughter, had to sit on their bums on the floor so that puppies were not dropped.
The babies tried their mother's food yesterday, at least for a few minutes.  Bonnie seems to be a competitive eater and she didn't give them much time with the kibble.

Cute.

They were in the yard a bit ago and wore themselves out.  They are sleeping hard now, but they have a hard time with Kate around, getting enough sleep.  She wants to hold them all the time.  As per usual, she has picked the boy as her favorite, so Foster is glorying in his good fortune.  But, the girls go from Kathleen to me and Kathleen's favorite of the moment is whichever one is kissing her.  They all kiss, so it is whichever one she happens to be holding.  Too bad that all the chores are going undone!

Changing of the Guard

Well, four weeks went quickly and the Birthday Bunch came to my house yesterday, right on time, about 10:00 AM.  Betty and Skip are either feeling bereft of Bonnie and the Gang, or relieved, or both.  I know that Betty was looking forward to spending quality time with Zinger, teaching her Rally, Tracking, Agility and Obedience.
