Let sleeping dogs sleep...

That is a must. Friday Night was a bit rough, as the pups were adjusting to the house and adjusting to being housebroke. New pups are just like having newborn babies. Got to feed them, clean them, get them out, and lots of playtime. Friday was a night of little sleep and lots of praise. Saturday night was a bit easier as the pups were tired from playing all day. So we actually got to sleep for 6 hours straight. Sunday night was great only 2 small puddles and no chewing.

The pups already know there names and are really quite smart. Both can sit and both can retireve 75% of the time. Abby can shake with both paws. Their personalities are really coming through now. They both are willing to please and very happy to see us in the morning. Chelsea seems to be the dominant female and also the troublemaker. She is seen in the red collar in the above picture. Abby is the follower and also the lover. She will lay at my feet and give lots of kisses.

We are amazed at how well they have us trained, whoops I mean how well we have the dogs trained. Not having a lot of accidents as we have the pups out right after they wake up, 10-20 minutes after they get a drink or eat, right after they play, and they also go out about 40 mins after they eat.

The pups love water. When I put the water bowl down for the first time, the pups decided that they were going to spash and play in it. Getting ready for first bath today. It ought to be very interesting. I figure it will be a very wet afternoon, which is okay because it is supposed to be 91 degrees today.

The kids seem to be happy with the dogs, especially since all the toys are safe. Ashley is even helping to train the dogs. She can get both the pups to sit. Hunter hasn't really been home enough to see the pups as she has been at camp and is with her father for the next few days.

Well it is time to go out again.
