Exploration Adventure

For safety reasons, the pups usually hang out in the temporary play yard made up of 3 exercise pens, some netting, and sheets for shade.  They have great fun in the tunnel and hitting the ball around.  It is amazing to see such little dogs bat around such a big ball.  There are lots of exciting toys in the grass to discover.  Our fenced area is too big to allow exploration when it is just me and the pups.  The skies need to be monitored for hawks and eagles as well as the possibility of loosing track of a pup in the large yard.

This morning Skip and I were both out in the yard.  So Bonny, Zinger and the four pups got to explore.   What a wonderful adventure it was.  The pups played with the adults (well...Zinger is 9 months now), checked out the chickens, climbed the pile of bark in the yard, ran and played!

Shoelaces, leather sandal straps and toes!  Yum.

June is pretty ferocious with that shade sheet!

Bonny teaches "show the teeth" border terrier play!

Always time for kisses!

So...those are what?  Don't act like border terriers.

"Come on. You can do it!"
