The puppies are 8 weeks old! Going on 9! My how time flies. It has been a great experience for Skip and I. As our adopted girls will be bred again, it is a good thing. We will be doing this again.
My observation: Puppies are made to be "oh so cute" so that the pups will all be wanted and adopted by good caring humans. Puppies are made so that living with a litter becomes challenging at the end. "Mama dog" looses interest in the care part of the puppies. After all, those puppy teeth hurt! From then on, the humans end up spending a good deal of time keeping them watered, fed, exercised appropriately and CLEAN! The first portion is no big deal and really fun. Keeping them clean is a full time job. I guess that is why there is no such thing as a "poop-free" puppy! It makes puppy raisers happy to find good homes for these little darlings you can't help but to love after raising them from birth. I always did wonder how Charlotte could raise such smart, adorable puppies and then let them go.
Here are some close-ups of the Birthday Bunch. Notice some name changes - as per their new adoptive parents.

Though Bonny is aware of what they are up to and where they are, she is only interested in playing with them now. She and Zinger both enjoy the play!
Dodge is ADORABLE! So excited!!
