Our puppies don't get to play with other puppies very often. We don't know many people with dogs who wouldn't mind playing with five rambunctious puppies. So our puppies play a lot with each other but not much with other puppies. Occasionally we meet other dogs in Petsmart, and we try to let the puppies say hi when possible, but that's about it.
Lately though, they have had the opportunity to see other puppies. Mom's sister (Aunt P) got a new furry kid recently, and the puppies really want to play with her. She is a blue healer, and is as cute as can be. So far Miss M and Mr. C have met her. We are taking the puppies to meet her one at a time because she is still little and is intimidated by our puppies.
Miss M just really doesn't understand why she doesn't want to play with her. I think Little Miss Z would like to play but is still a little scared. So mostly, she just stays in her mom's lap while our puppies are there.

Miss M gave up on playing with the little puppy and decided to tear the squeaker out of a toy instead.

Then she decided to go help Grandma in the kitchen. Surely Grandma would understand her dilemma and give her something yummy.

Grandma always has just the thing to make little puppies feel better. She was making chicken and dumplings and let Miss M be the official chicken taste tester. Miss M of course needed to take several bites to make sure the chicken was seasoned right. She's always glad to help out in the kitchen.

Miss Z wasn't sure how long Miss M was going to be in the kitchen and wasn't taking any chances. First she tried sitting in Grandpa's lap. Then she went back to her mom's lap, and finally decided that sitting on the back of the couch was the safest place.

Once she was certain that Miss M was busy elsewhere, she ate some of her mom's hair and then cuddled up for a nap- on the back of the couch. Being that cute all day wears a puppy out.

Houston, we have a couch

I had very specific ideas on what she wanted in a couch for the new place. It had to be comfortable, and it had to be large enough for both of us to fit, while still also being big enough for several of the puppies to sit on it too. Before we had the puppies, I was never in favor of having animals on the furniture. Of course, I was also okay with the idea of leaving them in the backyard alone for several hours at a time. Then we actually got puppies, and my opinions of things changed. I actually kind o like having a puppy or two sitting by me on the couch. I would never think of leaving our puppies in the yard unsupervised- not even for a minute. I have heard too many stories of people who left their pit bulls in the backyard only to return to an empty backyard.Apparently, they are stolen quite often. I guess I am a helicopter puppy parent. Needless to say, our puppies are a little on the spoiled side.
So, back to the couch. I found one that I liked, but it wasn't in stock. We went ahead an pre-ordered it, and the company agreed to waive the delivery fee since we were having to wait. Today, the couch finally came in. We are very happy with it, and the puppies L O V E it. Miss M claimed her spot immediately. Miss B was so glad that we let her on the couch that she didn't know what to do.
