playmates

Between puppies and out-of-commission Jay, I've been run rather off my feet.  To save on 40 or 50 trips up the stairs each day, I moved the puppies downstairs a couple of days early.  They weren't complaining - they were already feeling crowded in the whelping box, enormous as it is.  They were definitely ready for the big pen world downstairs.

The best thing about moving downstairs, as far as they are concerned, is not the opportunity to finally get up some speed  in their zoomie games (although that is a big draw, to be sure), but rather it's the realisation that the world of big dogs comprises more than just mum.

Unlike Tuuli who spends a bit of time each day in the pen playing with the puppies (and their toys...), Neka never played with her own puppies at all.  She has, however, always loved being involved in her grandkids' upbringing, and they adore her.  And they never forget her - even long after they have moved on to their new homes.
