KAIA AT HOME IN KANSAS

lots and lots of pictures! they were all so good, i couldnt help but send them all! kaia is her name and she is doing absolutely wonderful! she went to the vet today, she weighs 11 lbs. 6 oz. and is as healthy as can be. she will go back in a couple of weeks to get her shots. the first couple of days she slept ALOT and was a little timid, but she is definitely coming around. you can tell how much more comfortable she is becoming; her personality comes out more and more everyday. she is such a happy puppy! shes very curious and loves to explore new things. she does not like to be alone however! if she is ever left in a room for more than a minute by herself, she cries and cries. she has only had a couple of accidents and only wakes up once or twice each night! she is doing so good! we havent started the crate training yet, shes been sleeping with me. shes quite the cuddler! i thought i would start the crate training after she had been here a week and was a little more used to things, but thats coming up and im not sure im going to be able to do it! she loves to be outside, she just runs and runs and runs! she loves to chase the leaves! we’ve started working on “fetch”. its amazing to watch her natural retrieving abilities come out at such a young age. she has lots and lots of toys around the house, but for some reason would much rather chew on our fingers and toes! we’re working on that though! as sweet and cuddly as she can be, she definitely has an ornery side too and can be a handful of energy! you might notice in one of the pictures her front paws are wet…for some reason she likes to stick her feet in her water bowl while shes drinking out of it, its so cute! she loves to pounce on things…if one of her toys is sitting a few feet away from her, she will stare at it for a while and then all of a sudden pounce on it! its so funny to watch! everyone that meets her comments on how well socialized she is for such a young pup. she is perfect! thank you for everything…i will keep you updated as often as i can!

OTIS AT HOME IN NEBRASKA

good pics, i dont know if it is the right thing to do, otis raises cane everynight when i put him in his crate so he is in bed with us.  It works out good cause i take him out when he starts moving around.  He has been in the tractor a couple of times and doesnt mind it, pretty good in pickup a little scared to start out.  Only a couple of messes in the house.  he is really good to potty outside when i take him out.  retrieves tennis ball really good and brings it back to me but wont drop it yet.  Here are some pictures of Otis and our son, Tucker.  They seem to be getting along well!
 
Jimmy, Anne, Tucker, & Otis

  RAZZ AT HOME IN WYOMING

Razz is such a joy!  We had soooo much fun with her this weekend!  She’s an awesome pup!

She had one accident on the bed – she didn’t make any noise and we didn’t feel her moving around.  She has started whining when she has to go – so that makes it easier for us!

Smudge and her are the best of friends.  We are amazed at how gentle Smudge is with her.  I went and bought quite a few chew toys for her and the one she wants to play with is Smudge’s duck….  So they share.  She will sneak up on Smudge and then grab the duck from her.  Of course Smudge got a hold of one of her chew toys and it had to be thrown away

Yesterday she barked and it was so cute!  Smudge is not a barker and so when she barked we jumped!  She has a “big” bark.

She responds to her name, I think.  I call for her and Smudge will come running and I think she might just be following Smudge.  But there were a couple of times that she came without Smudge.

We didn’t get the wings we wanted to have her try – hopefully today and we can try tonight.
