Day 38 - Back Home

Mindy left some pictures of Cedar and the pups on the camera. This picture shows how big they have become and a rare nursing moment. We got home in the early hours this morning from the sun and tranquility of Maui to the rain and reality of hungry puppies in Oregon. But, what fun to see the little heads sticking up over the top of the whelping box. We missed them while we were gone.

Dave gives Koltag a welcome home snuggle.

Tonight was Week 5, plus, picture night. Because it has been raining so hard all day, the pups have been confined indoors. Thus they were very active during the photo-op and weigh-in. We gave up on weighing them after the second pup. Getting them to hold still for pictures was difficult, though attacking their photo animal did occupy most of the girls long enough to get a shot. Balancing an excited pup in a tub on the scale was not possible.
