Day 12 Chinook Centennial litter

Today the puppies had the most exciting day of their short lives. Four visitors, photo op, balancing in the almost too small scale bowl and a trip outdoors.
Milk-drunk, morning cuteness while Tim was here.
Anna came to meet the pups but first had to go through the gauntlet of Chinook kisses.

 Meal time entertainment (for the humans)
 Kate with mom Koyuk.
 Byrd gets dressed for pictures.
 Karmen is here! Trask can't get enough of Karmen.
We took the individual puppy growth pictures (I still need to figure out proper lighting) and weighed everyone which made for hungry puppies and another entertaining meal.
 Karmen with Byrd.
Sarah showed up. All of the first pictures of Sarah are blurred. Trask is totally obsessed with Sarah. His wiggles and cries of excitement shook the house.  Only once outside and standing could she steal some puppy love.
 Two-by-two, all of the puppies took their first trips outside.
I have several videos of the expedition but since it was my first foray into i-Pad videos, I don't have a clue how to put them onto the blog.  They do show swift running Wind and adventurous Byrd in full action along with the seagull cries of sightless, deaf puppies experiencing new people, grass and sunshine.
The puppies just sort of dosed in the warm shade.
"Yes Trask, I still love you too!"
 We moved the puppies from the shade to the sun where they immediately scattered about.
Koyuk taking count of the wayward pups.
 At times all three dogs took up herding duty.
 All finally corralled...
 well for a moment at least.
 With the temperature in the 80's, we retired to the AC.
Puppies in a basket for linen change. No objections were voiced. Everyone was pretty worn out.
Eat...
 Sleep...
 Repeat...
Goodnight.
