Day 43: Socialization Pics - Meeting a Brave Bugg named Princess Leia!

The puppies responded really well to Princess Leia, a 1.5 year old Bugg (Boston Terrier x Pug). It was a great opportunity to socialize them with a dog-friendly & vaccinated adult dog. Hermione was the most playful out of all the puppies, although all of them were interested and friendly. The puppies have also been socialized with Sam - he let them chew on his toes, his tail, and his double-chin, but there is a huge size difference! Kia shows friendly interest in the puppies through the ex-pen fence, and we plan to socialize them with her on-leash in the near future. 

Day 41: Outside Pics - Had Some Creative Fun This Time!

Padme - I think! She's a looker.

Excuse me ... may I bite your roll of doggie poo bags? 

All played out. 

Evey still loves to sleep on her back!

Yes - I am adorable. 

SNIFFF!

Hermione again.

Kia modelling her new Thundershirt - may introduce her to a puppy tomorrow - leashed, but no fences in between.

Kia again - pretty much back to her regular self.

I have my mother's eyes.

Hello. Are you my new family? (Padme/Purple Girl)

Just chillin'. 

Relaxed puppy.

Just woke up from sleeping under a lawn chair.

Bat ears! :) Looking back at some of the earlier pics, they have grown SO much. 

Sleepy.

Snoozing.

Oh - were you talking to me? (Padme)

Take me with you! (Reuben)

Strider looking cool and collected.

He has Sam's puppy-dog eyes.

If you can't drink it, bite it! (Thorin)

Hermione & Vader showing off for the camera (ie. trying to eat the lens cap)!

Vader - a serious pose. 

Vader showing Strider who's boss.

New digs ... again! The puppies were starting to eat the carpet ... so we pulled it out. It's not fancy, but should be easier to keep clean.

Chewing on a stuffy.
