It was a big day today for the crew. They had their first car ride and we were off for a vet visit. Tales and dew claws were removed without much fuss from the puppies. In my mind, they have gone from puppies to little dogs. Usually, tales and dew claws are removed at about day 3 but because these little ones were so early I choose to wait a few extra days.

| Green boy is literally standing on his head for breakfast this morning!! |
 |
| Truly fat and happy. |
Green boy - 245 grams
Blue boy - 234 grams
Pink girl - 204 grams
Yellow girl- 229 grams
Red girl - 203 grams (Seems to have lost some headway on her weight)

| Tales docked |
 |
| Now my question is, is blue boy a black and tan or is he a stag red? |
 |
| Red girl's ribbon is always coming off. If she's not careful there will be no 'bling' in her future |

Ocean has decided that the kids need some alone time. OK, she probably feels like she needs some alone time and is burying herself in her bedding just outside the whelping area.

Kim, has dropped of the puppy agility course and expects that the crew will be frolicking through the obstacles by early next week (I hope he's kidding).
They are motoring around, primarily, by dragging themselves with their front legs and shoulders. They are all over the whelping area. We will set up the obstacles in the house somewhere once they are a bit bigger and I'm sure we will get some great video footage to share with everyone.
I have to say that Kim has done an amazing job of this obstacle course, and all out of scrap materials. The 'A' frame (top left) is made out of metal frames and has screen door material under the small page wire attached to the frame. The bridge (bottom left) is suspended on metal chains, again with a metal frame, and seems to float. The teeter totter (centre) is a 2x6 levered over a short stack of 2x4s. The ladder is just as you see it. Wow. Thanks Kim!!!!
