Week 6 for the W2's and Big Past Pupdate

The W2's are growing fast and thriving.  They are the cleanest puppies we've ever raised - for the past 2 mornings, there have been NO messes outside of their litter boxes, which is not only unusual for pups this age - but really awesome for whoever is on clean up duty (read:  Jen)!

Most pups at this age treat their whelping kennel like rock stars treat hotel rooms.  :)

We've gotten a bunch of fun pics of past pups lately (including some of the recent W litter pups in their new homes), and also managed to snap a few of the Wiggly W2's, as well.

Enjoy!

First up, we've got "Wynter" (aka Whiplash)...

...doing some serious snoozin'.

Nestling into her newly-discovered beanbag chair.

Tug!

Practicing her good-girl skills while visiting family in hospital.

Then we've got some great 2year B-day pics of Hugo (Sir Hugo Drax)...looking so much like his mama dog, Polliwog (pictured further down in this post): 

What is it about Whippets, Sunshine, and Dog Cots?  :)

Keeping watch with his best friend, Milo.

Hoarding all the toys? 

Snoozin' with Milo.

Doing what whippets do best - relaxing!

On a hike with his dad and Milo.

Doing some exploring.

"This is MY toy....You can't has it."

Next up, a couple of great shots of Wilson:

Here we have the whippet in it's other natural nesting environment...the 'cave bed'!

Soaking up some rays in his own personal sun room.  :)

***

Next up, it's Winston (aka Wombat): 

Learning the valuable lesson of brushing his teeth.  Just like all toddlers, he has to be supervised to make sure he brushes properly and doesn't swallow the toothpaste...or the brush!  ;)

And like his fellow whippets, Winston is clearly also a sun worshiper.

Next up, we've got a great shot of Bedahlia (HT Aunt Bedelia), enjoying her new ottoman, and willing to share with her little sis, Cheri:

And how about some 3-year birthday pics of Omar (HT Oh Henry!) and his sister, Kima (HT Skittles):

Kima - looking quite regal.

Omar - not to be outdone in the head shot department.

Watching the streetsweeper - aka 'the most interesting thing in the world.'

New Olympic Event:  Synchronized Sleeping.  I give them a '10'.

And now for some shots of the W2's and some of the Horsetooth Villa crew:

The Whiz, Whisper, and Woody

Trinity and Winky 

Ken getting ready to bean me with a snowball (just kidding)...but check out our 4' high snow drift - still intact, 3 days AFTER 'Snowmaggedon, May 2017'.

Lizzie and Windy - sharing some snuggle time.

Theodora!

The snow in our back yard is finally melted and it's nearly 80 degrees out - perfect puppy weather.

Mr. Whipple, Woody, and Winky

Whisper

A couple of shots of our lab puppy...oh wait, that's Wernher Von Braun!  :)

Winky - stretching out in the sun on a cot.

Theo, Mr. Whipple and Trinity.

"MOM!  He's bothering me!"

Woody & Theo

Wernher & Theo - nice and dusty from playing in the outside world.  

He looks like he could be her puppy instead of Trinity's!

Winky had quite the time playing in our big outside water bowl...

Woody's looking at her as if to say, "What's WRONG with you?  That water is for drinking...not playing in!"

She just couldn't resist.

"Whew!  That water is COLD!"

The Whiz & Theo

Mr. Whipple and Whisper

Polliwog having a bit of a wrestle with Woody and Windy

"Oh you puppies!  You're so silly, it makes me want to roll around on my cot with joy!"

Not the greatest pic - but had to include it for the smile on Polliwog's face.

Trin, Theo, and Wernher - all the dark dogs are staying out of the sun!

The Whiz

Theo is a popular snuggle buddy today.

Woody & Theo

Windy and Winky - chewing up pine needles.

A bit of Aunt Lizzie, Windy, and Winky

And last but not least, 3 shots of Woody:
