Big trip to the vets!

Finally getting on here again, it is a busy time of year here for us.
The puppies all had their first vaccinations and health checks last Friday, and all did wonderful!
We go to a vet that is about an hour away from us, so they had lots of crate time that day, and I am
happy to report, that none of them got sick, or even peed in the crate!
Starting tomorrow, they start to go to their forever homes, the black tri that my grand daughters called
shadow will be the first to leave.
I can't believe how fast the time has flown by... it has been a real treat to have them, around.

We try to get them out for a big walk in our back field each day, here are some pictures, taken last weekend

Busy photo session!

Wagon full of trouble!

 I still haven't figured out where to put the text, these are my grand daughters, that come out and help herd puppies for the photos, their mom does the picture taking!
Of course the pups are busier everyday! They find the darnedest places to get in to, and can fit through places, you didn't think were possible, and if that doesn't work, next option is to dig!
They're all getting pretty good at heeling one another too, don't know how that will translate to the real thing with livestock?
They sure give us lots of smiles, and laughs,we are weaning them now, and it is going well, Maude, is such a good mother, she would nurse them forever, if she could.

Discussing their escape

Wow, we are coming up on 6 weeks already!

I haven't got any recent pictures, will be working on that this week, the pups are outside
most of the day now, they have a covered dog run, right beside the house, it is in our backyard,
that is fenced,so really contained.  The good part is I can let them out of the run, and still have them in
a contained area, somehow, though, they manage to find mischief to get in to.
They are in the house, at night, and if I have to go to town,  there are stairs for them to climb, and they
are all doing them really well.
I had my grand daughters here on the weekend, playing with them, and having them follow them around, they also got their nails trimmed again, so that is 3 times now, and they are all really good about it.
The sheep came up near where they were, and they all got a good smell of them.  There a a couple of dog houses in the run, and they have figured out to go in them, I have put some nice alfalfa hay in them, and they
seem to enjoy them.

Weaning is next, I will start that on Thursday, they have been eating solid food for a few weeks already, Maude is quite the mom, so I don't know if she will like it.
