Another great Adoption Day!

Phoenix and Roxy play with the Steggin' Egg on the porch. The Steggin' Egg dispenses kibble treats as the toy is tipped from side to side. The puppies LOVE it!.



After some play time on the deck (no backyard play as it is raining) then Georgia and Albert are ready to take their new baby home. Roxy, you are going to have a great time with your new family!


After Roxy left, Phoenix seemed quite content to play with a tennis ball on the deck. We let him play until he was tired so that he would sleep well.

Puppy zoomies plus mommy

Phoenix and Roxy zoom around the great room, and mommy Sasha joins in to the play.

Adoption day at Lavendel shelties!

Big day at our house as two of the four Cadets are adopted!

First Fletcher was scooped up by Christopher. Don't they look like a great team?


Then Stella lavished her new mom with kisses as they had their farewell movie time.

Four clips of outdoor puppy play

The puppies really enjoy playing outside, rolling in the grass and chasing each other and the grown shelties.

Here Roxy, Phoenix, and Fletcher romp around the tree while Stella snuggles against my legs.


In this little clip Phoenix and Roxy have a great time "chatting" with each other.


Here the puppies play quietly outdoors...very unusual for my bunch of shelties as the adults tend to bark at all passing cars, birds, butterflies, etc.


Here the puppies and dogs get a song from Janet. The "popcorn song" is a favorite of my dogs!

Two short peeks at puppies and cats on the deck

Our cat Diamond Jack Stubbs aka Jack is getting the hang of being an indoor to outdoor cat. He hangs out on the deck with the puppies investigating for a bit, then exits with dignity.



Then Alan takes a short video of the puppies losing their little minds as Janet sings and talks in baby talk. Short video..as the camera battery croaks during the video.

All puppies on deck!

With all of the sudden rainstorms recently the puppies have been getting their outdoor play time on the deck. Alan took several little videos of the puppies hopping, scampering, and wrestling on the deck.

The Cadets are six weeks old now!

The Cadets are now six weeks old and every day they seem a big fuzzier, a bit faster, and a bit funnier. They had their first vet check today and all is well and where it should be; a clean bill of health for all 4 pups. They also managed the entire trip without a complaint, even when receiving the dreaded puppy booster shots!

Here are a few videos of the pups having a blast in the yard on Cinco de Mayo:
