The puppies turned 7 weeks old yesterday. They are definitely ready to have their own owners and receive training. I'm working on lining up a veterinary appointment to get their health checkups, but unfortunately my vet's schedule is full, so it looks like pickup dates might have to be slightly delayed. I will email everyone who will be affected by this possible scheduling hitch and will keep you posted on developments. Cleone is healing up well from her accident last Monday and whenever I let her out, she runs around like nothing happened. I am keeping her penned up most of the time so she doesn't get involved in herding the cows, jumping off hay bales, or doing anything else like that, and even though she doesn't like being kenneled, she is handling it quite well. She should get her stitches out on Friday, if everything goes as planned. Let's see... how to describe Ollie: He is a rascal, super smart, almost tireless, and alert to everything around him. And - how did I forget to mention it - he is curious! He has to poke his nose into everything, chew it if it fits in his mouth, and drag it off if possible. He still loves attention and is super friendly, so he is usually the first one to try to dash out the gate when I go out to the puppies. Mac is level-headed and has settled into a comfortable middle position in the pecking order. He loves attention (surprise!) and is curious, but likes to contemplate a situation sometimes before jumping into it. Logan is still the favorite with my siblings. I finally had to ask them to pay Churchill and the others more attention and not only play with Logan and Mac. He is still the smallest puppy but is fond of eating, playing with his brothers, running around the pen, and, of course, getting belly rubs. Relic is more low-key than some of the others and is not usually in the first group to mob me at the door of the pen. But he is not easily startled and loves attention, just like his brothers. They don't seem to pick on him much and he doesn't pick on them. He's just in the middle class of pups and likes to go through life without causing trouble, though he will stand up for his rights if he needs to do so. Churchill - As you can see, Churchill is hard to photograph because he's always trying to stick right next to me and my camera lens is too zoomed in to get a very good picture of him when he's sitting on my toes. In my opinion he is the most mellow puppy out of the bunch but he is always ready for attention and activity whenever possible. Hopefully, all the scheduling issues will work out okay and the puppies will be available for pickup early next week. I enjoy having them but I'll be glad for them to go to their individual homes and get the attention and training they need.
