Saturday April 9th (posted late...)

Puppies are still working on the art of walking. Interesting how they could pull themselves around when crawling so easily, but now that they have started to walk it is nearly all they try and they are pretty slow at it. So for a brief few days they are actually a bit slower ;)
The weather is warming up and warm sunny days are allowing some short trips outside on a blanket. Their noses go into full gear sniffing and snuffling away for a few minutes and then they seem to settle quickly into  a sleepy stupor in the sun. Their eyes are not open yet, but they certainly seem to enjoy the natural warmth.
Sky also knows it's spring and is getting more and more restless. I think my arm is sore from all of the games of fetch to keep her happy.
Tuesday we will add in some positioning to their daily routine and see how that goes. They are also nearly big enough for their collars now so you should notice those on in most of the pictures soon, helping you tell who is who.

Oh, and the ticking is tsarting to come in. Both the solid liver puppies with white feet will have ticking on their feet, and the patched and ticked puppies have some undertone ticking showing through. In about 4 days we should be able to see who is going to be brighter and who is going to be darker.
