Monster puppies

The pups are huge, weighing in at 13-14 lbs.  Juliette will not close the milk bar.  It is quite amusing out in the yard when Juliette will make a feeble effort to get away from the pups.  Even as she is walking away, the pups still do an amazing job of catching lunch on the run.  Just today, I introduced the pups to hard puppy kibble, and they had no problems making that adjustment.  They are each eating 1 cup of kibble per day, and looking for more.  As is typical of 7-week old pups, the pair is seeking lots of activity and interaction, with numerous short naps to recharge.  As weather allows, the pups have been spending considerable time in the backyard, eagerly explore the entire yard which is quite large.  Yesterday evening, the pups individually went on their first walkie on leash.  Just a walk to the neighbor's house and back, but Mindy got to meet a boy on a bike which was a great experience for her.  The pups are thoroughly enjoying interacting with all of their many visitors.  As much fun as it is to have baby pups in the house, by 8 weeks of age, it is readily apparent that the pups are ready to go solo and get some quality one-on-one attention from people so that they can grow up to full potential.
