Day 44 - New Play Yard

Day 21 the puppies reluctantly attempted to climb up one side and slide down the other on their first mini-A-frame.

By Day 44, the rebuilt, steeper, A-frame was relegated to a perch, chew toy and...

King-of-the-Hill mountain.

The puppies have definitely outgrown their 8' diameter, covered play area.
Koyuk took the opportunity for an alfresco feeding during the move to the new play yard.

McKenzie, always enamored by the little ones, looked on...

while Cedar played with straglers.

Once inside the fenced area, the puppies, Koyuk and Cedar were free to run and play. Mom and Grandma can easily jump the fence to get in and out.

I moved in some of my agility obstacles for the pups to gain strength and coordination. The puppies immediately started to play on them.

The play yard also has places to hide.

The main drawback of the enclosure was that the solid sides prevented us from watching the puppies so I dismantled their old play pen and made an x-pen wall. My weave-pole standards were utilized to prevent the x-pen panels from being pushed over.
