Two Puppies = Twice the joy?

Alex and I are either crazy or we just love having puppies around. This week we have the great pleasure of having two puppies in the house. Garnder is with us again for a week or so. We love him so much! It is really going to be hard to see him go back for training. The other puppy is an adorable golden retriever  that is 5 months old and belongs to a work colleague of mine who went on vacation. Leo, is so incredibly sweet and calm and he and Gardner are having so much fun playing together.

As we got ready to go to sleep last night, the puppies were all snuggled up together on their fuzzy blanket. I was trying to get a picture of how cute they looked all snuggled up and sleeping when in walked two very brave kitties. The puppies must have Kittie ESP because they both woke up an started staring.

Here are a few clips of the puppies running around the house. Hope you enjoy them.



Alex and I did a brave thing tonight. We gave both puppies a bath at the same time. Having learned a valuable tip from other puppy raisers, we put on our swimsuits (so certain human body parts would not get licked or sniffed) and we put both puppies in the shower and scrubbed them up. We learned a couple of things:
1) The fur from two puppies getting a bath simultaneously will quickly clog the shower drain.
2) Two people in a shower washing two puppies are bound to bump their heads together, multiple times.
3) Wet marble floors are very slippery especially for wet dogs trying to shake.
4) Wet puppies that are so excited they have to tinkle in the house get really cold when they are made to go outside to pee instead.
