Great Outdoors

Finally! It was warm enough to let all the puppies and pups out today. All thirteen played together quite well for a good long time. Once everyone had enough free play, that got some outdoor kennel time before being let out to play again. 

Here's what I've noticed about the puppies. I'll use the Tootsie Bunch names for clarity. Greg is the scout. He explores first out of all his litter. Whether it's a new area or a new scent, he's first. Peter is the runner and sitter. I know that doesn't make sense, but he runs the fastest and then he sits so still, it's quite impressive. Mike is the most like his mama. He's a sweetheart who's just happy wherever he is. He'll play with everyone and somehow, he's also the one who finds the most burrs. Lastly, Bobby. He's the runt of the litter and just loves to hang out with the elders (human or animal). He's still tiny compared to the others, but he's growing healthily. He's the one you want to stash in your pocket when you need a pick me up. I've got an incredible soft spot for him. 

Tomorrow I'll try to analyze the girls. It's amazing how different they all are, but all still wonderful.
