The Pups Are 13 Weeks!!!

After weeks of sub zero weather we were treated to 40 degree temperatures and almost no wind. Arnie and Anneliese are 13 weeks old now and so I thought it was time for them to go for a proper walk on a leash. Arnie took to this like a duck to water, but Anneliese was a bit more stubborn. So I walked with Arnie and carried Anneliese. I walked up to a neighbor’s house to show off the babies, and then as we were walking back, Anneliese decided that she wanted to get down and try this walking on a leash thing.

I set her down in the snow and she walked gingerly along for a time, before discovering what fun it was to run! Now ordinarily this wouldn’t be a problem, but I am still not up for running, so I had to rein them in a bit.

The two also played outside in the snow, running after their balls and making Hubby run after them! We even had Uncle Fritz out with the puppies and he did pretty well. Slowly he is getting used to the little buggers.

I brought them in at lunchtime, and they collapsed in their bed.

After lunch, while the pups slept, we snuck off to the movies. We saw “Wild Hogs”, with John Travolta and William H. Macy, Martin Lawrence and Tim Allen. I have to tell you that I haven’t laughed so hard at a movie in a very long time. These four men, really did a great job and even Hubby was laughing out loud. I hate those movies where you see all the funny parts of the movies on the TV before you go. Not so, this movie. It was fantastic and if you want a way to lighten your mood, then go and see this movie. You will not be sorry!

Back home we came after the movie to find our little fur family waiting eagerly for our return.

We took everyone outside again and let them run around and work off some energy. They played and ran and rolled and had a good time until it was time to come in and have their dinner.

I got out the three bowls, scooped an entire large can into a large dish and then mixed in two cups of kibble for Fritz, got our Greta’s food and scooped 1/3 of a cup of wet food into her dish and broke it all up and then got out the puppy chow and scooped out 1/2 a can and broke it all up. The puppies get theirs first, then Fritz and then Greta. Then I stand guard so that everyone stays with their own dish!

At 6 PM, Hubby and I sat down to dinner and we put the pups to bed. After their big day they fell asleep quickly.

Greta is asleep on the couch, Fritz has gone to bed in our bedroom and Hubby is asleep in his chair. Ah, it was a good day!
