8 weeks old and setting off

The puppies have reached the magic age of 8 weeks old and one-by-one they have flown the nest.  Tonight Tuuli is missing them a bit, carrying toys around in her mouth, and at rather a loose end. 

Last night, when she had only Malaki left, she spent a lot of time with him - and her tail made a nice nest for a nap.

And here is everyone setting off for their new homes and new adventures.

Niko was the first to leave with Jenny & Rob.  And Tux hitched a ride with them part-way to his new home with Wendy, Scott & his new big brother Karhu in Glasgow.

Next to go was Eevi all the way to north Wales with Helen & Matt followed swiftly by Kaija who went only a few miles down the road to Plymouth with Becky, Matthew & Mason.

Then we were left briefly with Malaki, and we had an enormous amount of fun letting him run riot all over the living room and kitchen playing with the girls.  Then the time came for him to go to his new home too, and he set off for Bedfordshire with Tiffany and her parents, Stephanie & Ryan.  And he will have a new big brother, too - Lappy Shadow.

Hopefully I will have some photos of the gang in their new homes to share before long.  I'm not above nicking them from Facebook, as you know, so I'm sure I'll find something to share.
