The past few days I have taken teeny-tiny bits of hotdog and cheese and begun having the pups make eye contact with me. I will sit with them and when I notice someone looking to me, I give them a little bit of food. Here is Jim this afternoon, the pups are cleaning out his ice cream bowl - very unsanitary, I think but what can I say??

Believe me, it doesn't take long for a feeding frenzy to ensue! Today I will take the pups out one by one and do the same thing - if it isn't too unbearably hot I will also make little tracks of bits of food to see who can focus on that task. ** I DID do the little tracking 'tests' and ALL of the pups put their little noses down and ate the little morsels laid on their 18" tracks.

No, it's not the Flying Nun - but you've got to love those ears!

It is almost 9:30 a.m. here and already very humid, the pups have eaten, cruised around for a while and are now taking their first of many naps.

This is the blue boy - he's a lover!
