Prim

Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen? I'm not sure why, but the last couple of days, Prim has taken the best pictures. Here's another one from yesterday.

and another

oh, and how about a mother/daughter shot?

Life has gotten a lot busier this week. I'm working on getting the puppies to eat. They are just not very interested. They really would rather play. And I am also trying to write biographies for all the puppies and Gidget so they can get posted on PetFinder. I need to get good photos too. Hence all the shots of Prim. She is one that will wander away from me... and stay out of the shade so I guess that leads to better pictures. The others either try climbing up in my lap or go play in the shade. 

I'm asking some people to come over and play with the puppies for socialization. It's time to start that. Maybe I can get some better shots then. I'd love to get some good ones of them running towards me. They are so fast, though that I haven't been able to get anything useable.

I tried the clicker around them yesterday. It got their attention and didn't scare them. I just wanted to see if it scared them. I think I am going to charge it using Cheerios. With their disinterest in food, I was trying to come up with something they might like and thought of Cheerios. Will let you know how that goes. 

My plan was to take 1 at a time to work with the clicker. I also want them to spend more time outside. And I have to get them to eat in there as well. They sleep a great deal of the time but are staying awake a bit longer at a time. There's a lot to do while they are awake. Try to get them to go potty (where I want them to), eat, play, learn... and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. How time has flown. I am going to miss them SO MUCH!
