The new toys I had ordered for the puppies arrived today. I had gotten an assortment of stuffed animals, bones and balls. After their morning nap I introduced them to their new toys. They went crazy! And so did their mother, Greta.
It’s an amazing thing. Greta no longer looks at them as her kids. She treats them like best pals and she plays with them with wild abandon. It is so wonderful to see the three dogs running around like crazy just enjoying each other.

I had the dogs out a lot today and consequently Arnie began “performing” for me. I now have two good puppies who are getting house trained. I just wish spring would come and it would warm up. It is just a little less thrilling to jump up and drag the pups out when it is 19 degrees outside! Still I am grateful.
The pups, old and young are all asleep now, and I am curled up with a nice warm blanket. Simply a great way to end my day.
they’re so adorable!
Look at Arnie with those toys! He’s just got to stay…he fits in SO well!
Oh those dogs and their toys! The really love new stuff, just as much as we do!!
Love the videos below too!
My sister came over with her tow puppies yesterday and Daisy was kind of overwhelmed. She had met Crosby before and got along well but now with his sister too, it was just too much for her and she cowered in the kitchen by her Grandpa’s feet.
Fergus had a ball with the puppies in the back yard. Um ya, but they taught him how to cross the pool now in the winter. He always goes around it but he saw these little balls of fur who didn’t even know there was a swimming pool underneath there bounding across and finally decided to try it himself. Now today he is still going on it. 7 years old! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Now I worry when it starts to melt if he keeps going on it he will tear the cover. Oh joy!
Awww…sleepy pups are always fun to watch.
I love the last picture it is just so cute!
Wow ! they really enjoy their toys ! So cute especially the little one on his back showing his belly, lol !
We had pirates on board ! Did you know that ?
