One down...

...four to go.

Mr. Orange left for his new home today.  His new owners drove down from Colorado to pick him up.  I hope they have a quiet drive home.

We've had a very busy week, so sorry for the lack of pictures.  Lots of clients in training and long days in the field.

Of course the puppies came with us every day.  They were always close to the action and were out of their pen between tests so they could explore and play.

The pups were also introduced to water this week.  Although it was muddy water, it had a firm bottom and was actually "running" water for the pups.  The temperature was a balmy 30C, so it was a perfect time to show them that water felt nice and cool.  I stood on the other side of the channel and we coaxed them back and forth.

They thought it was great fun!!  A few pups even went swimming in the deeper end of the channel.

And the unofficial "sixth" puppy, Miikka, enjoyed it as well.

Sigh.

We joked that the puppies were "little rich kids" as they had so many toys.

The tunnel is a big hit, as it is with all my litters.  They spend oodles of time running in and out of it.
