Pupdate Miss x Blue

Monday was a terribly cold day for us!! The temps over the weekend were in the 40s (still windy but not freezing) by the time I got up on Monday morning, we were below freezing and it was a mere 16 degrees outside. NO THANK YOU!! I'll do what I need to do outside and spend the 'day' inside!!

So we decided to put a turkey breast that had been thawing in the fridge for a few days in the oven, make deviled eggs and of course PLAY with the pups!!!

Since most of the action for the day was going on in the kitchen, the Miss pups got gated into the kitchen and were allowed to be underfoot with us while we enjoyed the warm and sweet smells of the turkey in the oven.
They did think the rest of the 'house' should be included on occasion but for the most part enjoyed the romp in the kitchen.
I really try to make sure the pups are used to different footings, and odd things to climb on, so I added my 'toy dog' grooming table (it fits on top of a crate to groom the dog ringside) to the floor so they had something to crawl up on and jump a tiny way down. Plus it has a rubber surface they have not walked on yet.
No problem for these guys!! They loved the extra 'floor obstacle"!! The little black and white girl has the cutest set of ears that are 'just about' to stand up!!
Tug with the 'fuzzy' toy was a favorite game for these guys. The merle boy is not as big as his tri sister ... yet he sure was able to hold his own with her when it came to the toy!
All four would get in on it ... but I was never able to get a clear photo of all four with pulling on it.
The 'tri' girls in a stand off of who would move first....

Playing tag and chase back and forth thru the kitchen was certainly on the top of the list for games too.

Because they were going to be underfoot most of the day, I also went ahead with their first Parvo vaccination. This disease scares me greatly so we vaccinate for it early. I also like to watch my pups closely after all vaccinations to make sure no reactions occur. They handled the 'poke' quite well (not a peep from a one of them)... but afterwards could be seen itching like "huh...what was that". No reactions to their vaccination and all just keep on 'truckin'.

Our little black and white girl likes to be the 'diva' and wear her toys ;-)

Frequent naps were also included in the day in the kitchen....
Black Tri girl #2 down for the count!
Tri girl #1 decided a comfy place for her naps was on top of our pile of shoes!!!
The little merle boy would just flop over and sleep right in the middle of the room.

I think Miss was grateful for the time away from her 'kids' too. I checked on her a few times thru the day, and she was napping upside down in a crate without a care in the world.

I also was able to get a bit of video of them romping thru the kitchen... which hopefully will be posted to YouTube sooner or later!!
