Pups' first expotition!

The pups emerged this morning looking ready to take on the world!  After eating a very hearty breakfast, they were well up for a game. It amazes me how they can change so dramatically overnight.  Their personalities are now becoming evident and they are all proving to be little characters.

This is, of course the planning stage. I have now marked up the pups with the judicious use of a moustache trimmer - no, not mine!!!! Karalanstar Forsythia here cannot be comfortable yet he slept this way for a considerable period of time. However, his expotition, though measured was extensive!

Now Lark, there on the right is not sure what young Forsythe is up to - either that or he is sizing him up for a swift chew.  He tends to do that , bite down on another pup until it squeals. Then, when lifted up to be told that is hardly gentlemanly behaviour, snuggles down very happily for a cuddle. Hmmm, note to self: rethink behavioural conditioning technique :)

 Spring here has found a local monster to challenge.  Bramble was not too happy as she considers it her pig.  However, Spring reigned victorious over the beast as you can see below :)

Daffodil takes a good nap amongst the toys:

I do believe that this is Lark again, climbing an obstacle shortly before attacking it - another rude awakening!!

All our pups have always loved the area around the bench. Molly still goes under therewhen it is sunny. It is great for playing hide and seek. Since I let them all come out, it was interestiong that 6 out of the nine were recaptured here.

Peekaboo!!!

Bramble just checking and gets captured!
