Puppy Update

This morning started really early, 4:15 a.m. which is really uncivilized.  I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and took Dira out for a walk.  She was very grateful, I think she gets tired just laying in there all day and all night, plus her need to hunt for cats and other small creatures has returned.  So a quick walk with Dira, then she's back with the mupsters, next is Tessie, Sadie and Hoss while I feed horses.  It was still too dark for the first walk, so I went back in for a quick nap, a little work and then back out with Dira for another walk, then back in with the mupsters, then back out for the morning walk with the 3 musketeers.  It is still only about 15 degrees but the sun is coming up finally so it will start to warm up.  Now everyone is happy, walked, fed, rubbed, grubbed and in their individual spots.

 Another half hour or so of email, another quick nap, breakfast, a shower and it still was just barely hitting 9:00 a.m.  Time for the first conference call (that didn't happen) so I can finish drying my hair and think about taking Dira out one more time before I run to the post office and Walmart (need yarn to replace the ribbons on the puppies, they are already getting tight).  Later today I need to finish module #3 of gem identification which means looking through the refractometer, hopefully a stop at the chiropractor and finishing up the advertising campaign for the high school seniors.  Should be a good day.

The mupsters are growing and they move so fast and so much it is hard to get a good picture.  I tried holding one but he was squirming and yelping so that won't work.  But at least you can start to see the shapes taking form and the markings coming out on them.

The one with the blue ribbon is a boy, and a chunk, needless to say they are eating well!

Hannah is happy because I fixed it so she can get in my office again so she comes in and torments me and the plants.  She's pretty curious about all the sounds coming from the laundry room, speaking of those sounds, they are pretty sweet.

On another note, Bruce got home last night and was so excited to see the puppies that he tripped stepping over the gate and on his way down he grabbed onto the door frame and cut his hand on the striker plate.  As he hit the floor he let out a bad word or two but he is going to be ok.  And it needs to be said that when I was up at 4:30 taking care of dogs, cats and horses, he was still snoozing, this is something that will need to be rectified.
