Now that Thanksgiving Day is behind us, we're plunging into the Christmas season, as well as final preparations
for our son, Wesley's, wedding. It's a busy time, but having puppies to socialize gives us a much-welcome reason to take regular
breaks. Time is flying by so quickly! I wish puppies would stay little longer!

A tired puppy is a good puppy - |

In the past two weeks, the puppies have been growing a lot and having new experiences. They like going outside,
especially when the sun is shining. When it's cloudy, they get chilly, so their outdoor time is limited.
Duet is still being a wonderful mama, though she doesn't enjoy nursing so much now!

Somebody has to do it! |
O'Dell would never bite Dad's fingers - |

|
oh, no, NEVER! |
Homer finds another scent to check out, |

while Felicity checks out mama Duet. |
Drinks at the milk bar are served standing, |

|
now that the pups are big six-week-olds! |
Yeah, I think the novelty of motherhood |

|
is wearing thin! Duet is just about OVER IT! |
|
 |
I can't believe they're already six weeks old!

Yummy cheese helps puppies stand up! |

|
O'Dell likes to eat, as you can see. |
Annabel likes cheese, too! |

|
She's so sweet! |
Felicity is also a cheese lover, |

|
and a feisty little doll! |
