This morning started with this blissful scene.

The pups go to their forever homes tomorrow. I am sad but then happy for the families. This is an outstanding litter of little ones.
Pups resting after exploring about 6 acres all on a flat out run. Ms Elim even voluntarily went for another swim.
I wanted a picture of all of the pups in the whelping box. Knowing that in was a very limited amount of time, I set the camera on high speed. Dave pushed all pup bodies down and rushed out of camera range while I shot away as the little ones quickly scaled the sides of the whelping box to freedom. Repeated attempts were required before I got the shot I wanted.
Brad drove down from Canada today to meet Ms Takotna. It was love at first sight. He got to help us herd the pups about the property and back into the house. Later we posed the tired pups for their last milestone picture.
Week 8 pictures.
