chow down

Oh, these puppies are too funny.  I have about a dozen adorable videos and can't decide which ones to post - the one of them stomping around wagging and barking at 6 am?  The one of them drinking milk for the first time 2 days ago?  The one of them cleaning the milk from each other's faces?  The one of them barking and growling?  If I had some good video editing software I would make one fabulous video from the various different ones.  Alas, I have no such software, so a couple of specially selected ones will have to do.

Everyone commented on how noisy the polar bear (aka Hopea) was in the last video.  After she took her turn, Brown Wolf was the noisy one for a couple of days and now it's Toes, who has been barking and squawking since yesterday.  Don't worry - they all take their turns being the naughty puppy, no one gets left out.

In this video, taken yesterday, you can see that the gang are already getting very good at drinking milk.  This weekend they'll start on mushed up puppy food and, if they're really lucky, some raw minced beef or scrambled egg.





And here is what was happening at 6 am yesterday.  Some of the high-pitched barking was contributed by Tuuli who was downstairs complaining that all the fun was taking place without her presence.  Oh, and she was ready for a wee, thank you very much, so the filming had to be cut short so I could attend to her very pressing needs.





And a couple of stills:
