12-16-11 Will two of us fit to fly away??? I don't think so.

12-14-11 It is puppy picking time..............red female is going to Arizona to Donna, Green Male is first pick male and gets to be a hunting dog on top of family member at the
Terhune home. We have two more families to decide which puppies are theirs until we find out who's special home is coming still.
12-9-11 Ella heard Di's puppies squeaking and must have thought they should be hers. Four times I caught her and carried her away from Di's puppies before she was able to get to her, however on the fifth time Ella got to the whelping box and Di bit her head. It looks worse then it really is and the vet said that it will take about a week for all the seeping to go away. She is on antibiotics & yogurt to keep from infection and upset stomach. We are warm soaking it about 5 times a day to keep it soft and to help it drain. It hasn't slowed her down in the least and the puppies are really running fast and play almost all the time. I hope to get the 1/2 crate in the pen in the morning to continue to teach them to potty away from the bedding more. Miss Red girl came to the door and cried. I was treating Ella so I didn't pick her up. She stepped a few inches away and went potty! This group should be fast to potty train.
The question here is can we escape yet?
Really do you think crying will get us out?
Lets just play instead for now.
