Sleeping Beauties

This is a rare occasion lately. The pups have definitely moved on to the toddler stage. They are very playful with each other, sometimes we have to seperate them as they get a bit rough. They have grown a lot in the past few weeks. We had a setback in the housebreaking, but are trying to rectify the situation by getting them out every hour or so when they are awake.
They have gotten bigger.They seem to be growing like weeds. Abby can now get up on the couch by herself. We are trying to break that new habit as quick as possible.
We are getting ready to move this week. The pups seem a bit confused with all the packing. I am confused with all the packing. But it will be over soon. Well off to pack...

What a week...

Well, this week, I have to say has been absolute hell. It started off on a good note, The pups went to the vet and have doubled their size. Had a good check-up and came back negative for worms.

After a major family emergency and sitting in hopital waiting rooms; it was good to come home to see my two chocolate monsters, wagging their tails, happy to see me. They are very active now. It is a good thing we have the area for them to run around and play. The pups have really grown these past weeks. Housebreaking was successful. Even with all the stress we are doing well. They are very playful.

Abby and Chelsea have switched roles, Abby is a bully. Chelsea is docile. Abby puts her nose where it shouldn't be and has gotten slapped by one of the cats. Abby comes back for more. She is jumping like crazy, which we are trying to stop. Chelsea is not a jumper and will sit and wait patiently for her food. Abby will jump all over the place. They are certainly not hungry since they eat twice a day and have quite a few treats in between. Abby is also the ringleader and will get Chelsea to follow her everywhere. I expect a couple more personality changes in the future.

I'm Tired...

Friday morning

Well, Abby is housebroke. She goes to the door and whines or just pushes her way out the screen door. Chelsea still needs coaxing. Both Pups can navigate the stairs up and down. Its a good thing, cause they are just to big to be carrying up and down stairs. With the heat this week, 105 in the shade, the pups figured out that the master bedroom stays cooler than the rest of the house. Thanks to an air conditoner. So now the pups have been sleeping in my room.
I am in touch with a person who breeds and shows Chocolate Labs. I have to meet her. I am also hoping to get involved with a local all breed club. I am glad someone told me about it, because I didn't know there was one around. Hopefully I will be talking to the secretary this week sometime. Maybe things will improve in the showing outlook once I get involved with the club. Well, pictures to follow later I am just too lazy today to take them off the camera and load them on here. Just another rainy morning, maybe I will join the dogs in their naps.
