Bandit x Tutu Pups: 8 Weeks

Exciting times! Fun, travels, and a decision!

Big things happening this week! The puppies had their first vaccination, for which they were very good. They also had their first big road trip, going about 4.5 hours away from home for a race practice. We were surprised and very pleased at how good they were in the van! There was a little quiet whining at first, but they settled in for a two-hour nap, then more quiet "need to potty" whining. We stopped and gave them and the "big dogs" potty breaks, then the pups were quiet the rest of the way! After several hours of fresh air and visiting, the trip home was completely silent - GOOD PUPPIES! We had to wake them to take a potty break at the half-way point. They're already great travelers!

Fab Five Fun!
Whatcha doing?

until they were distracted. Wonder what they see?

We took the puppies to meet Mary Magee of SaeSi Whippets for their eval at about 8.5 weeks. Due to her travel schedule, we were able to meet up with her less than an hour from our home! All the pups got a thorough going-over, and we have decided who will be staying with us. Our "keeper" is:
Drumroll, please!
 
Puppy #4, previously called June Bug, will now be our "Jasmine"!
