Taking the show on the road

As we head into the last few weeks until the puppies take the next step on their journey and transfer to their foster homes, we have been getting lots and lots of requests to "see the puppies". If you count the neighbors that wandered by today, I think we had 20+ visitors. Team Cheers has begun to make jokes about "show times" and "priority seating". Today the puppies put on good shows at 11:00 and the lunch show at 1:30 went really well too, but I must pass along my apologies to the small crowd at the 2:30 matinee. The pups were too pooped after the 1:30 to do much except nap.

But they did manage to rally nicely for the 4:00 show, and being that the weather today was very nice, the show went on the road, or at least onto the driveway. It wasn't much of a show as the puppy pen was too muddy and icy for them to go into. But Team Cheers did manage to take the X-pen onto the driveway in what looked to be a relatively dry area. (boy were they wrong-the puppies will be getting their first non-Mom baths tonight). What follows are more pictures of the puppies outside:

In other news, Team Cheers has been letting the pups out of the X-pen on an individual basis this weekend and giving them chance to explore on their own(under close supervision of course)

Here's Rebecca's first encounter with Kami the cat. Kami dealt with it surprisingly well. She displayed equal parts disdain and curiosity and did not hiss at the puppy. Could it be that Rebecca's charming personality won her over?

Apparently so, because the conversation continued in another room.

One of the advantages of having one or two pups out at a time is that I can actually play with them instead of having the whole herd (you thought they were a pack? Ha!) trying to nurse on me at once.

Here's one of the boys posing nicely.

Sorry no video today-Staff was very busy seeing that all the guest were taken care of today. We hope that they enjoyed themselves as much as we did.
