Fun in the Snow With Pyrenees Puppies

Last week we took these pictures of the puppies out in the fenced herb garden.  We don't keep them out long, but try to get them out daily because the fresh air and exercise is good for them.  For this event, I round up all the children because I am not crazy enough to watch eleven puppies by myself. :)  Of course the kids jump at any opportunity to play with the pups. :)  It takes a few minutes to get them all out.  We can each take two at a time (that's eight), and that leaves two more people to grab the last three.

Once out, they set off exploring.  On this particular day, Duchess, Emily's half rag doll cat, also joined us in the garden.  I think she was curious about the fluffy white balls jumping around. :)  The pups enjoyed meeting her, but Duchess was not as friendly as they were; she kept her distance. :)

Today we enjoyed a winter storm!  The kids were sledding behind the four wheeler and having snowball fights with dad.  And of course they made some time to play with the puppies in the fresh snow.  Everyone had a blast! Here are some pictures of Em and the pups.  She took two out at a time to keep it manageable. :)

 

The puppies are now old enough to have access to the outdoors.  There is a little door that we open in their pen that lets them go in and out as they wish.  This morning the door was closed because of the wind, but they still had a little time outside playing in the snow with Emily. :)

Pyrenees Puppies - bath day

Last Sunday afternoon was bath day...for all eleven puppies.  Emily gave the baths, I dried them with the blow dryer, and Mike took their pictures.  Ben and Jonny puppysat the clean puppies and helped with our group shots.  Three hours of fun. :)

Pick Your Pyrenees Puppy

This afternoon we gave all the puppies a bath and took individual pictures (which took over 3 hours).  Emily did the washing, Mindy did the drying, and Mike took the pictures (mostly). We also took some cute group pictures.

Every puppy now has its own color collar, although there are a few girls with the same color as a boy.  So below we will list each puppy by its collar color and sex.  The collars are hard to see in most of these pictures, but they won't be coming off the pups.

Note, puppies are difficult to pose, so we have quite a variety of poses. :)

Puppy Pictures - 5 weeks!

More puppy pictures!

Here are a few more pictures of the puppies.  They are at such a fun age!  We could sit and watch them for hours!  You will notice on the pictures that all the puppies seem to have red noses and paws.  Well, they are now able to climb over the hay bales and get into mother's food dish, which contains things like chicken, lamb, chicken hearts, and chicken livers. :)  Yes, we believe in raw food for our dogs! :)

Looking like a Pyr already

All eleven puppies...but one is hiding. :)
