Puppies are 7 weeks old! Playing in the yard . . .

Puppies doing what they love! Marina helping Lucy eat some dog food. Ten puppies acn nurse at a time, and that is exactly how many we have right now.
Look at these puppies nursing, good job Lucy! The milk will help them grow and stay healthy long after they are weaned.
Even baby Stella (5 1/2 months old) gets some puppy time. I had to ward off over excited puppies, but they all enjoyed themselves and are quite at ease around children/babies and adults.
We have been taking the puppies out into the big grassy yard and playing with them: running, petting, taking pictures, and getting to know them. Marina likes to run and have about five puppies following her, full speed. These dogs love human contact and gladly follow me around the yard and into the house!

The puppies have been sleeping under the dog house instead of in it! Here is one peeking out where she and her siblings made a peek-a-boo hole. It looks pretty cozy under there. So much for the spacious house! These pups are innovative . . .
