Well the puppies came home Friday and so far are doing great!! It has been a crazy, busy and tiring weekend which is why I haven't posted before now!!! They are the sweetest and cutest little things - everything puppies should be. I really think the story about the mom dying from parvo was BS. I would be willing to bet that someone had this litter, hadn't sold these boys yet and they were getting older (they are about 14 weeks, we think), and decided to dump them before Christmas. I am so grateful we saved them. Whenever I look at their sweet little faces I just think about how they'd be dead if the wonderful shelter people had not alerted rescue!!
They are also doing great with crate training and potty training especially considering they'd probably never been in a house before! If it is time for everyone to go in the dog room, and they go in their crate, they really don't make a peep anymore. They did cry the first couple times but quieted down, and have been sleeping through the night. They are also good about pottying outside as long as I take them out at the right times LOL. They are really starting to settle in and play a lot. They've discovered toys, and it's so cute to watch them play!!
Anyway here are some pics!
Here we come!!!

This is Dan, who is smaller but seems to have a bigger attitude. :D He has white on his chest, and a white toe or two on each paw. I call him Twinkle Toes!

And here is Nat, almost half a pound bigger than Dan. He is quieter and is more content to just sit and chill when Dan still wants to play.

The other dogs are funny with them. Otis and Thor have very little puppy tolerance, though Thor plays sometimes. Napoleon plays sometimes too, and Fred plays with them a lot even though he grumbles about it. Zeus is an angel with them. He's never said a nasty word to them, and just lets them climb all over him and play and play. Oh did I say climb and play? Because I meant HUMP.
