aw, I'm in love! Sooooo cute!
And aren't those flexible doggy gates the best? We had them to block off different sections of the house for the first month or so that we brought our boys home. Love them. |

It's actually a play pen for toddlers that I picked up at ToysRus. They make these for dogs too? I find it's a lot easier than the x-pens as I just have to climb over rather than climb into . And you can buy extra panels to enlarge it so that's quite convenient for us depending on the sizes/ages of puppies.

ha-ha. We actually borrowed ours from a friend, so I assumed they were specificlly for doggies (she doesn't have any kids).
But they look exactly the same as yours, so that must be where they were from. |

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Breeze . It's dh that's losing it this time round. First he agrees with Nukka's adoption, then he offers to foster the puppies...he's softening up .
You're welcome to come take the night shift, Chaser . Omd, he's in his element! You know when they say to give a dog a job to do? He loves his job .

Should have sent mine out to give him some lessons on how to give up gracefully. He learned pretty quickly although he still tries to pretend he's tough occasionally.

YAY PUPPY PICS
Oh they are adorable, LP I know that look Penny is giving, it is the same one Puddles gives when I bring a new litter of kittens into the house. Those pups don't know how lucky they are to end up in your home to be fostered.

Just kidding . Yes, they are fosters. We picked them up yesterday morning and they're settling in quite nicely. They're really quiet but that's likely due to their age. Awfully friendly and they all love to be handled/cuddled . We do have to expand their pen today to include a separate potty area. It was -17c last night with winds so way too cold to be bringing them out in the middle of the night, brrrr. Here are individual pics I took of them...in order, Poppy, Toby, and Theo .

Bless your husband's heart LP! I absolutely love the set up you have in the first picture. Did you just lay down tile underneath the fold up baby gate? It just looks so organized, clean and comfy LP that I would love to cuddle up in there too!

You know, there are days I'd like to put him up for adoption , but it's times like this that I just love him to pieces . Quote:
I took a few more pics. Dh in the pen with the pups , and the expanded enclosure he set up today. He opened the playpen up to give them more room for their crate, bowls, and play area, then attached the x-pen for a potty area. He was so excited that they took to it right away .

They range in weight from just under 4 1/2 lbs to 6 1/2 lbs. In no time they'll be bigger and bouncing all over the place though .
