The gang's all here!

It is another lovely sunny day. A bit too hot for the pups so they get fed nice and early and then come out into the garden in the morning - even then in a nice shady spot.  Then it's back to the kennel for a cool midday snooze.  I will bring them out very soon for some cool evening sunshine before bed. Here is one of the boys having a rest but keeping charge of the 'kong' . 

The pups are now doing quite a bit of practice running - they manage a couple of gambols before sitting down, often quite quickly.  It amazes me how they seem to change overnight. They are getting quite chunky and active when it is cool. They all come over to see us when we go near and some already will cry when in the pen to be let out. They usually wander off to relieve themselves which is good. They then like to be picked up and cuddled or to chase one pf the bigger dogs around.  Bramble loves it. Being only 6 months old, she doesn't really understand that she is bigger than them and can't get on my knee with them but is very gentle with the pups.

Here is Snowdrop / Poppy, having a good roll just before an inverted attack - yes, she is doing the attacking, not the other pup:)

Below are photos of all the pups. Apart from Poppy, at the end, i'm afraid I didn't make a note of girls / boys, but the girls do tend to be a bit smaller. Otherwise, they are all beautiful and affectionate pups.

I think this is Crocus

This is the slightly darker boy. His coat, like Poppy's is a little longer than the others. This may change. 

Someone is a bit bored I think :)

Poppy :)
