It was a long day yesterday driving down to the Chicago area (~4 h each way) and back to see the puppies but it was totally worth it. I was glad I got to see them at that age (~4 weeks) because the next time I am able to go see them is when I pick the girl up on Feb 28th. It was also nice to see the interaction of the mother with the puppies. I've never really been around a litter of young puppies before so it was amazing to watch how attentive the mother was the 2 h I was there. But I can tell she is totally going to be ready for a break in a week or so.
Here are a few pictures from the day. I think I got all four of them in there somewhere. It was hard to keep track, they were all over the place.
Not exactly sure which one this is. This pup is definitely going to be a camera hog.
This is Girl 2. She's jockeying for alpha dog at the moment.
This is Girl 3. She is really sweet. I know I shouldn't get attached to one quite yet but right now I hope she is the one I get.
The puppies liked to sleep under the chair.
Here is the boy. He is a sweetheart too.
