5 weeks and 2 days,
this is the first day that the puppies have spent outside starting at about 9 am, some of them demanded loudly to be let out this morning, they were standing at the patio door that leads to their yard and when I opened the door it was like an avalanche of puppies ambling down the stairs. When it got dark all the girls made their way inside, and the three boys curled up together outside. I had to go and get them as I didn't want them to get chilled.
Following mom's lead, only one puppy is missing in this picture, she was inside sleeping under a chair, probably needed a break from her siblings

Look at the concentration on Grizzly's face as he is coming down the steps, all the puppies are doing really well negotiating the steps now

Teddy watching the goats on the other side of the fence, the puppies are a lot more aware of their surroundings now and notice things outside the fence

Dottie meets a new friend. Nanuk my 6 1/2 year old intact male Great Pyrenees is not much into puppies, he won't hurt them, but he let's them know to stay out of his face. He has never met puppies that young before, so for now they will just meet through the fence, I don't want a puppy to get too close and then get scared when he tells them to leave him alone. I remember Ayla who was just always fascinated with Nanuk, when she was a puppy and always into his face he really scared her when he let her know to knock it off, now she has a really easy going personality, so she wasn't scared for long, but I wouldn't want a 5 week old puppy think that big white dogs are scary.
