Dog Sitting

Today has been a peaceful day with the pups. Linda let them out early and I turned the pack out again about 6 AM. We have had wrestling matches in the floor and on the bed. There hasn't been a real 'dog fight' yet, we slow them down when it gets too rowdy. We had a couple customers for mums and hay that set off a barking frenzy when they rang the doorbell, but other than that it has went smooth. Linda took them for a walk around what we call the 'horse shoe' and when they came back from that they were ready for naps. Missy, Pico and Poco were all on the three couch pillows sleeping, when Linda and Stacey went to town. I just laid on the love seat and watched them. Every now and then there would be some little noise that would cause one of the pups to raise an ear and then lay back down. When the girls came back from town, Linda had an old sweat shirt that she cut the arms off. I took one of the arms and held it up to Poco to size it for him. I cut the hole for his front legs and slit the wrist band to give him some extra room for his head to slide through. Getting it on was a little trouble, as I'm pretty sure Brent has stuck socks over his head and made him pull them off himself. Once it was on, he was going to tear it off, but I distracted him with a toy for long enough that he forgot about it. Then it seemed like he liked it because it kept him warm.

I think they are getting used to being here and the routine we are using to keep them occupied and the floors dry. You never know what tomorrow will bring though.
