Day 30 September 4, 2010 1st time outside

Nine new surfaces right in that immediate area for the pups!!!

What a perfect opportunity for puppies to be on different surfaces and to have mom lie down to nurse them with a positive reinforce for this new situation.  Good mom Opal.  I am very pleased with this new mom!!!

Day 28 September 2, 2010 First face clipping

Everyone had their faces clipped for the first time today.  It was the second time I clipped their feet and also did around the genetial areas.  Not sure how many times I`ve clipped their little nails all 120 of them :) but I do the front for sure about every three days to keep them from scratching Opal while nursing.
