6 weeks old!

I cannot believe it has been six weeks already! These puppies are growing so fast! several are over 8lbs and going steadily up. By the time you take them home they are going to be monsters! In a good way of course. :-) They have the potty training thing down pretty dang good and are eating all dry kibble now, such big puppies, though mama still lets them nurse, silly mama. We have started giving them good one on one time so they are getting better with being on their own and they meet new people everyday! Dog socialization will start this next week with dogs other than my own, and they all met the cat this last week! They were curious, he was not. Haha. I have been a slacker this week picture wise so I have very few but here are the individuals.

 Mr. Green chillin' with Mama

sleepy Green boy

Handsome Chief, Ray says this is who he would keep if we were keeping one.

The lovely Ms. Scarlet, my "pick of the litter"

 Sweet Mrs. White

This is what most of these pictures turn out like, "ooo whats that thing you keep holding in my face?" (White)

Ms. Peacock, love this pup, always so observant

 Mr. Boddy has found his playful side this week, and also his weight, he is now far and beyond the biggest of the bunch.

Cute Boddy boy

 Pensive Prof. Plum, still the sweetest and most mellow of the bunch, though a little timid at times.

Sweet Professor

 The Colonel. Still the little man on campus but definitely not lacking in spunk.

 Wadsworth (Watson) still one of my very favorites, he is a stud

And again, what most of the pictures come out like. :-)

and lastly for today, Scarlet getting her daily dose of love from the bebe, or trying to lick the mess off of her face, whichever. :-)
I wanted to remind those who have been following since the beginning and recommend to those who have joined us recently to get and read the Monks of New Skete's book "The Art of Raising a Puppy". You will not be sorry, it is such an awesome guide.

Also here is the updated and hopefully final hold list:
  1. Joe Randall (Ut)
  2. Cliff & Nicole Sermon (Id)
  3. Jason & Emma Neff (Ut)
  4. Jim & Margarita Rassmussen (Ut)
  5. Ammon & Jennifer Hellewel (Nv) Female
  6. Amanda & Livingston Parnhorst (Ca) Female
  7. Kate & Lance Leavitt (Wy) Male
  8. John Doherty (Id)
  9. Trent and Christi Thorn (Ut) Male

I will being doing the temperament tests next Monday and will try and post the results that day and then you will be able to choose your puppy starting with #1 and working down. I will make suggestions who I think would do best with your family but it is just a suggestion and not a must. Thanks everyone!
