New friends

Lately, the puppies have been growing like crazy. They are all four getting along really well. The big puppies even let the littles snuggle up next to them from time to time without getting up and moving over. The big puppies are still very patient with the littles when it comes to food and let themselves be pushed out of their own bowls by little noses. Of course, whenever the littles go after their food, we redirect them back to their own dishes.

Since the littles have been with us, we have only had family over to the house. Yesterday, they had one of their first visitors and were super excited. They played with her, and jumped on her. Mr. M decided that she was his, and started making sure that he was in between her and the other dogs at all times. I think he has his first crush. He and Miss S fell asleep before she left, so when they woke up, they looked all over the dining room to see where she had gone.
We've been impressed with how well all of the puppies do with people. We are very careful about who we take them around and try to avoid putting them in situations that would challenge their freindliness. I was actually a little surprised last week when we took Miss S to the vet. The last time Mr. C and Miss B were at the vet, they got neutered and spayed. I was expecting them to not like the vet anymore. I thought that when we went there, they might get nervous or try to bolt for the door. Imagine my surprise when they both went running right in and said hi to everyone. Mr. C made himself right at home, stretching out in the middle of the waiting room floor so that the nice vet tech girl could pet his belly. They even ran over to say hi to the vet.
