4 week portraits

The puppies are very quiet this morning.  This is a rather unusual event.  Fair warning, new-owners-to-be, spring puppies wake up very early and increasingly so as the sky lightens more and more early. 

It's no surprise they are tired this morning, though, as they had a big day yesterday. They moved into their new downstairs pen, met all the big dogs, and even had some visitors and cuddles from complete strangers (strange to them, anyway - we know them, obviously...)  Actually, they had already met Tuuli already, because twice she sneaked upstairs when my back was turned and I found her in the box with the puppies.  Yup.

In addition to all that, we had a lovely warm and sunny day so the puppies even had their 4-week photos taken outside and got a little taste of the big wide world.  Interestingly, they weren't a bit fazed by the experience.  In fact, Hopea and Claw did so much wriggling and wagging and wanting to run & play that it was difficult to get any shots of them at all.







Brown Wolf - preferred to stand rather than sit.






















Hopea - looking a little bit sleepy here, but she soon woke up & then getting a photo was impossible, except for ones that were blurry with speed.





























Toes - with ears back, taking in all the sounds of the great outdoors.



























Little Ilo - In a bit of a funny pose, but you need to know how tough it is to get any photo at all.  It's a legitimate excuse!

























Claw - doing his fashion model pose.






























Brownie - with a pretty good pose of his own.




































And here are some cute getting-to-know-you pics from when the puppies first moved downstairs.






Neka saying hello and doing her granny duty.  She spends as much time in the pen with the puppies as Keksi does.















No one else is allowed inside the pen, so Tuuli contents herself with saying hello and playing from the outside.
