Days 38-40 - Outside playtime, 5/21-5/23

It is fascinating watching Butter mother her puppies. She regularly will put them down for a nap. After they've been playing for a while, she'll start herding them into the weaning pen, and to their bed until they lie down and go to sleep.

Snickerdoodle is so funny! He's started burrowing under my arm any time I lie down on the floor in the living room.

Speaking of the living room, the puppies have been spending more and more time outside their pen during the day. We brought a crate in for the puppies to get familiar with. They were eager to explore.

On Monday we spent a long time outside. At first the pupsters were a little spooked, but very quickly they warmed up to the environment and had a blast.

Pups are starting to respond to the puppy call.

I clipped their nails on Tuesday night. If you were wondering why I keep telling you when I clipped their nails, it's just to help me keep track. But interestingly, Snickerdoodle's nails had not started to curl and did not need clipped tonight.
