YA's week 7

It's been another really busy week for the David Bowie/Young Americans Litter.  We did temperament testing and made matches this week, and now they're just waiting for a bit longer to be old enough to head off to their new homes and adventures!

They've been too active to get many good pics, but here are some of a few of them:


Ziggy, China, and Jack had quite a tug session....

Week 6 for the David Bowie Litter!

We've passed the 6 week marker for the Young Americans and it's been another busy week.  They had their second meet & greet at the studio and did great again.

Plus, the last few days have given us warm enough weather for some trips outside in the yard.  They were a bit unsure of the big outside world at first, but most are really enjoying spreading out, and ripping around with more space and sunshine.

Jack continues to make progress, but is still about 10 days behind everyone else in his development.  Still not sure what exactly the problem is, but he's trying to be a normal pup!  We had our first tail wag from him yesterday morning, and he's actually trotted a few times.  Now we're watching to see if he'll run!

The rest of the pups are definitely starting to find their running legs - doing short sprinting bursts every once in a while, just for joy.

On to the pictures...

Meanwhile, Diamond and China weren't too tired to come inside and start a game of tug.

Shake, shake, shake!

Major tom finds the tug game irresistible - making it a game of tug for 3.

Will Rebel Rebel join in?


Yep!  Four-way tug!
