Boston's First Outing

It was such a beautiful sunny day today & the high of 0, yes you can free the spring in the air, 27 days till spring!
I took the pups outside with leashes, attached to their collars ... what fun they had!

                                   Baxter is wearing the blue  leash & Bridget has the red leash.

 They both tried their skills at stair climbing. Bridget really surprised me with her skills, she's very agile & can jump! Baxter is like a bull in the china shop! lol

 They both kept falling into the snow piled by the side of the stairs, then they'd eat white snow.

                                  Bridget loved her outing & was up & down the front stairs!

 She jumped, step by step, whilst Baxter watched her leash move with her.

               They are now 9 weeks old & are getting to be very lively, when they are awake!

 Bridget is really coming into her own. This little rut is so smart & fearless.

 She was up & down the stairs several times, Baxter I think was just cheering her on! lol

                                                            She's so small & bright!

                                                        And back to the top of the porch!

When I took them for a walk, she was right with me. Baxter... well he so reminded me of Boris & I on our walks. He would just stop & dig his paws into the ground, not moving but being pulled on the leash. I hope he grows to like the movement of a brisk walk. Boris grew to love going for walks, he was so social with people!

 The fresh air did Baxter in & Bridget was awake, so it was time for him to wake up too.

 He enjoys his sleeping crate & there's times when he just won't get up!

 I have them both sleep with a teddy bear & a blanket. Baxter just gets so cozy in his crate.

                                             I gave up on him & went to Bridget's crate.

 No worries there, I think she got excited listening to me coaching Baxter to get up & out! lol

                                             And then she ran after the 21 lb Mr. Boots!

 She would stop & fall to the ground, when Mr. Boots would turn to look at her.

                                                             Oh good, his head is up!

 Bridget did not know what to do when the cat turned & faced her, she's use to do the chasing!

 Bridget just went up & gave a big kiss to the cat! That was enough for Mr. Boots!

Mr. boots just turned & went for his lay down on my bed. 

He's such an easy going feline, & lucky for those pups, he's so easy going!

A Very Sweet Surprise

 My girlfriend, Jocelyn came by for a visit & to see the puppies & presented them each, with their own little jackets! The red one for Bridget & the grey one for Baxter, how sweet & thoughtful! Thank you Jocelyn, it will be a few months before they fit into them, they're so smart looking!

I love the stylish look of the ski coats, see the three zippered pockets? It's large enough to hold a small treat for them.

I'm going to have to take them downriver to Baie-Ste-Anne & walk them with these beauties on!

If I can only get Baxter to move with me on the leash! lol

The temperature is going up again tomorrow to +4  tomorrow & then +7C the next day!!

Maybe some snow tonight too. 

Easter is coming...that means spring!

Thanks for stopping in. I blog more often when Bill is in China, he wants to see the puppies & what their up to. I tell him everyday but seeing them & their daily adjustment to home in Hardwicke, keeps him in tow that he's not missing their growth.

Those of you with warmer temps, I see, no, I feel how good it feels to have the sun on the face again.

The painters are coming tomorrow!
