Day 39 - Huge Day of Firsts

The day began with the first puppy free run of the house thanks to rain that started about the time I got everyone outside. I still needed to change the bedding in the whelping box. The pups took the opportunity to explore and put everything that would fit, into their mouths.


Cedar and McKenzie trying to corral the pups.
Nothing was exempt as a play thing, including my camera strap.
Elim discovered my slipper.
Soon Takotna and Willow were chomping on the other one.
The day was also the first trial with stairs.
"If I land on top of Koyuk, going down won't be so frightening." Six puppies and three big dogs on the loose was a bit like herding cats.
Future agility champs.
New texture: old stump.
New texture: bark-o-mulch.
The pups quickly figured out that they needed to go around the jump wing rather than through it.
The day ended with the best first of all: each pup got their own soup bone. No coaxing needed as much as the big dogs wanted to help out.
