Onward and Upward

Like I said before, we haven't missed a beat! Let me fill you in on our latest adventures! First and foremost, THANK YOU, to all of our absolutely stellar volunteers that have been coming out;  I couldn't do it without you!! Since going to Dick's Sporting Goods on Monday, we have kept a decently busy schedule. On Tuesday we explored the world of Bed Bath & Beyond - what a fun time! There are all kinds of odds and ends and random objects scattered throughout the store.
REMI is happy to be out and about!

A fun gel mat! We let it be on top of us, and also walked on it!  
The crew that came out to help socialize! 
On Wednesday we took a trip to the Poplar Grove Farmer's Market. Of course the puppies stole the show and had a lot of exposure to young children with grabby hands, and their parents, as well as a few other friends. We also got to meet a variety of live poultry. We then headed over to the small playground that consisted of two swings and a metal slide.
Hey chickey, chickey! 
Our wonderful UNCW student volunteers! 
WALKER loves the slide! 
REEF (who belongs to our wonderful veterinarians) going down the slide like a champ!  
The rest of the week we have just done some internal socialization, including a visit from some new friends that got us some great exposure to a wheelchair, and our regular command training. All the puppies are getting good at their "party trick" commands, you know, the "shake", "high-five", "wave", "roll", "turn", etc. I'll have to try and get a video of it in the next few days, because they're pretty darn cute!

And here's an update on the little bitty puppies, who are now 9 days old! Their Early Scent Introduction is going great, along with their Early Neurological Stimulation! We started off with some fruit, and they have moved on to other things such as leather and wood. They're growing bigger every day and their eyes and ears will be opening soon. Stay tuned - names get announced on Thursday when they're 2 weeks old!
We're going to run out of space at the milk bar soon!

Our only girl models with the banana. 
Not sure who this is, but the lime was not a group favorite! 
Big ole green boy and the leather sample! 

And a little bonus, because today is FINLEY's 3rd birthday!! (and also our other p4p dogs AVERY and KOURY!)
Handsome boy WALKER celebrated with FINNY girl! 
The puppies all wanted a taste of FIN's new birthday bone!
