I think they need fresh air and sushine, but at 30 degrees today, I think that is a bit too cold for them.   I let them out in fhe large area inside in small groups......tough to keep track of them otherwise.   Thank goodness I have so much equipment.......I now have 4 ex-pens strung together outside,then 2 strung together within the large run for Glory's puppies to enjoy more space in close proximity to Callie's puppies.  

Although I will miss the puppies terribly. it has been a long haul, lots of work cleaning up after them, and never ending food prep, too.   In a way it will be much easier when most of them leave save for those I hold back to evaluate further for show potential  Of course, I keep in touch with new owners to see how the puppies are doing; I always want to know about them.   Hoping I'll receive lots of updates on their progress, training wise, eatingwise, and adjustment to new families.   

Thinking I am just getting to be too old to handle this many puppies (lol).   I started working a 8:00 a. m this morning, never ate a thing until 3:00 p.m. and now at 4:20 I might have time for a quick shower.  All my days are like this between calls, puppy laundry, actual cleaning of their areas, and caring tor the other dogs, too.   My days have never been longer than these, and I must stop sleeping in the same room as they do...........I never have a good night of sleep.   Sorry for the griping..........just a bad, tiring day for me.  

Tomorrow all of Callie's puppies have their first professional dog grooming at Woof's Den.   They will look so wonderful for their homecomings beginning next week.   Friday they have their first puppy vaccination and final health exam.  So momentous days for Callie's brood.   Then I must make my decisions.........which to keep for myself to show and which to send to companion homes........a very tough decision with this group.
