5 week old puppy parade

I am really starting to see clear personalities and character in each of the puppies. The amount of pee and poo everywhere is intense and they have started chewing on everything including my hands and toes ouch!, sometimes overwhelming but totally worth it.

 Wanda and the pups hit another bout of to be expected sickness this week as they were given de-wormer. Its all passed now and nothing life-threatening just horror movie icky.

Now that they have all stabilized once again, I can finally say we are in the clear. Seven perfectly healthy puppies will need seven healthy rescue homes in 3 weeks. It looks like our friends that wanted one of the crew have chosen Captain, so only six homes left to find.

Everyday we bring out the puppies for an hour in the living room so they can socialize with us play with more toys/Nikki. It is adorable to watch them drag stuffed animals bigger than them around, and try to pick up tennis balls. I have to be on constant watch though because they have found a true love with cords and sticking their heads in places where they get stuck.

They all recognize me when I come to the door and a lot of them want out of the puppy room all the time. They also lick faces and noses which is neat cause they want to bite everywhere else but some how they know to be gentle with my face :). They can start being trained next week I'm sure that will be a fun thing to attempt.

Wanda can go on walks now, I can tell she is so happy to get out of the house and she does surprising well on the leash. I call her a magic dog because when dogs are aggressive at fences with her she walks over to them and does what seems to be nothing but somehow it makes them stop barking and either retreat or turn friendly. She's a bomb diffusing dog! I've never seen anything like it, very cool.

I got to lead playgroups this week at CACC it was really exiciting to be in charge and decide what kind of dogs to play together, all-in-all 21 dogs got out to play in just 2 hours. I heard recently a half hour playgroup is equivalent to a one and a half hour walk so it was a good day.

Here's the most recent shots of the crew, it is getting much harder to take pics because they are either really active or asleep...
