"Everybody out of the pool!"

 Another big day for the Oo pups - no more whelping pools!  They gained their freedom to romp around in the whelping pen and made the adjustment with no problems. 

They already have discovered the joy of sleeping in their cave (kennel), which makes for early crate training, and are hopping in and out of the litter boxes with ease, as well.

This group has been one of our cleanest litters ever, thanks to the help of super-mom, Dots...but it also seems they themselves are just a naturally clean group - which makes our lives easier, for sure.  😊

I couldn't resist taking a pic of the pristine whelping pen just before cutting them loose in it - it'll never be that clean and organized again, haha!

Also caught some video of their first few minutes with new-found freedom.  It won't be long before they're ready to be cut loose in our living room and into the big open spaces of the training rooms at the training facility.

First up, a few pics from their last day or two in the pool:

Osgood Magoo - perfecting the 'roach' sleeping position.

Betty Boop, Oodles, the fox toy, Toodle-oo, Doodle (roaching!) and Loocey Loo.

Oodles says, "Oh, HAI!"

The rare and elusive Doodle Roach.

Meanwhile...Osgood also stilllll roaching.

Later - Osgood showing off his pink bubble gum toe beans.

The whelping kennel - just before introducing the pups.

These guys are so big, they already fill up a medium kennel, and here we have Oodles and Loocey Loo spilling right out of it!  I might actually have to add another one to the set up.

And some video of the pups' first time in the pen:

Oodles - last pup standing!
