Playing in Hall: 5 Weeks 1 Day Old

Here is the gallery.

The pups are progressing nicely. They may be able to go upstairs in a day or 2. 

They had a play session today in the hall and no slips and slides where yesterday as they were adjusting to the tile, they had some. Today they are mighty sure footed.

Stryker still is dumbing down his play to be gentle gentle. He surprises me and he so appreciates having them play with him. 

We tried Nami but think she is missing her pups. She didn't want to play with the Yoshi pups. Hallie is thrilled to have Stryker. I am sad about that but impossible to keep them all. 

We went through our long waiting list and it is long and no one but 3 wants a puppy at this time. They want spring pups. Really? So for the 1st time ever we have 3 pups available. Imagine that! If interested, send mail to nathan@potechin.com

Nathan introduced a puppy to Ollie's owner and to Ollie. Exposures are a good thing. 

Today we will have our grand daughter and her boyfriend come to get River and we will ask if she wants to play with the pups. We shall see how they do with them. With not updating so many blogs, I can do more for these pups. They were overdue to have the exposures but are up to the challenge mighty nicely!

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

I will be adding photos and videos as I can through the day!

Oh, I'll spread the news that you have pups.
Sheesh, a long list and they want spring ones? One time everyone was asking for Christmas puppies. We went on the list not knowing when, it wouldn't matter when for us, but then our 2 showed up, shortest list ever, I think, 20 minutes😂 actually hilarious when you think about it, Nathan said 'you can take them home today' walking to our car, with them and their stuff, kinda surreal, my heart fluttering, 'what just happened?' 💝💝

What?!! You're killing me! Do my girls need a little brother? (I already have a name for #6....)

hahahahaha

Dorothy: Your heart was golden and you exude that! It was easy to tell you were right for your 2,

I’d love you to post a picture of all 3 together if you can. ☺️ I trust many potential puppy owners want to plan & be home to give their puppy time for training & bonding for the best possible start. Can hardly wait to see Stryker pics. Great name!

No one picks ahead of time so not possible to take a photo of 3? You have to look at the videos and the gallery to look at all 6. Her pups are amazing and if Stryker has playmates - so be it. LOL

Stryker is on Hallie's blog and sometimes the main blog. He just had a bath today so I will post those photos in the Hallie blog tomorrow. He is black and white but he is really a tri if you look under his tail. He is a great great pup and not saying it as he is ours. He is just adjusting so easily but he has so many pals from older dogs to the Yoshi pups. He gets along with all.

I think we may have both misunderstood each other. Thought you said there were 3 remaining pups?? After thinking it over I now realize you must be talking about the last litter. With the timing of pups that went home, thought you were referring to the last two litters. I only occasionally check in, so not always up on what’s going on.

It is this litter that we have 3 outstanding pups - the Yoshi pups. There are 6. Think we are miscommunicating. The Hallie and Nami pups already departed except for Stryker.
