The puppies are experiencing their last couple of days as a full litter together.  Here are a couple images from tonight’s dinner, through their after-dinner playtime through piling on top of each other when they’re ready to sleep.

Dinner is a feeding frenzy.  4 feeding pans, 3 pups per dish and they are emptied in less than a couple of minutes.  The puppies linger to lick each pan clean.

Tonight was stormy and the puppies avoided the screen-covered grassy space outside after dinner.  Biff happened to have a fresh pack of chew sticks and they kept the puppies busy for a good while.  A crazy running and wrestling session ensued after they’d gnawed on the chew sticks and then they all piled on top of each other and feel asleep.  I handed them to Biff inside, one by one, through the doggy door and Biff settled them onto their blanket for sleep. We have just one more night before puppies begin leaving for their new homes.  It’s hard to believe they have grown this much in such a short time.  Although we love them, they are SO ready for the individual attention they will be getting from their new families.
