Puppy visits
Alpine's breeder caretaker family came over for another visit with the Golden gang. The pups are already well socialized!

Outdoor adventure
On Friday morning, I took the pups outside in the front yard for the first time. We only stayed out for 10 minutes, some stress whining, but the pups did quite well with this new experience.
We have names
Keeping with my theme of naming litters after places in the home state of outside stud dogs, I have decided to call this the Oregon Litter. These names may be just temporary as programs often rename the pups after they start training.
Black – Portland “Little Guy”
Yellow - Corvallis “Cory” (near where Kash lives)
Green - Eugene
Blue - Oswego “Oz” (Lake Oswego, town south of Portland where we stayed one night with one of my childhood friends)
Purple – Astoria “Tori” (coastal town)
Red - Albany “Ali” (town where Kash lives)

| Big tub of puppies |
Three weeks old and everyone, even Little Guy, is doing well. Most pups gained around 1 lb last week, and Little Guy gained a very respectable 1 lb 3 oz. Big pups ranged from 3 lbs 12 oz (Pink Girl) to 4 lbs 7 oz (Blue Boy). Little Guy weighed in at 3 lbs 1 oz. Ear canals have opened so the pups can hear. I am often leaving the TV or radio on for background noise. The pups are increasingly more mobile, starting to play with toys and each other. I saw someone biting on a littermate's tail the other day. Baby teeth are also starting to come in - poor Alpine. Pups are starting to lap water from a bowl and easily transitioned from canned food to soaked puppy kibble. They are doing quite well using the litter box. Alpine is losing interest (too much of a people dog), but still managing to keep everyone fed and clean with some help from human caretakers and Auntie Tacara, my G. Shep.
