The puppies are six weeks old! (Sorry this post is a few days late, we were unusually busy on Saturday, as Star's owner visited (we (and the puppies) enjoyed meeting you Ms. M!) and later a family from our church also brought their bull over to breed Blossom, and then stayed for dinner.)
The puppies are all doing very well. They are extremely playful now, and greatly enjoying their new toys (thank you Ms. M!) Fragoso is catching up to them in size (finally). In fact, he's as big as Angel, and almost as big as Selah. He eats more than any of the others- making up for lost time I suppose. :) We came up with a theory regarding his size, which seems logical because he has always seemed a few days behind the others. Dogs can sometimes have different conception dates for different puppies, and it appears that he was conceived about a week after the others, so in effect, while they were full-term when they were born, he was a week early. It doesn't slow him down though, he is acting like a 5 week old puppy, which is what he really is. It's hilarious to watch him run sometimes, because he eats so much that his belly is always really big and round, but his legs are quite short, so he almost looks like a running ball on legs.

| Dear little rascal... |
 |
| Bosco (just got to love that tongue!) |
 |
| "Let's see, it smells like chicken in here. Maybe there's some left!" (I think this is Angel. Not sure where she found the can...) |
 |
| Fragoso again. |
 |
| I love this photo of Selah! Look at those ears! |
 |
| Emaline and Bosco. |
 |
| Angel on the bottom, I think Jaxon is the one on top, and Bosco is looking on. |
 |
| Selah- she loves the tug-of-war toys (actually, they all do!) |
 |
| "Could someone please get me down?" (Bosco wasn't too sure he liked this picnic table- I think my photographer (sister) put her up there to keep him from running off. It's hard to take good pictures of the puppies because they are so very active. I'm sure he didn't have to stay there long.) |
 |
| Bosco taking a break. |
 |
| Star- possibly the most mischievous, playful, and friendly of the whole bunch (the others are very close to her in that respect though!) |
 |
| Selah. |
 |
| I think this is Bosco (there were a lot of pictures of him this time!) |
 |
| Jaxon... |
 |
| Jaxon... |
 |
| And Jaxon! |
Ah!!! These puppies are so sweet! They look so playful and full of life! And the photo of Emaline and Bosco is so lovely. You can see their cheerfulness and joy shinning out!
