Day 27 Update

The big news around here is that not only are Mindy and Schuyler back to being best buds again, but Mindy is actually letting him be around the puppies when we let them out for a romp. He is still very cautious, but it's as if he knows his boundaries and does not want to cross them.

The kids all have developed personalities. Lucas Jackson is to the pups as Moe is to the Three Stooges... he thinks he's the boss. He's also the Indiana Jones of the tribe as he is the one most likely to try to scoot away under a chair or behind someone's feet in quest of a great adventure if we don't watch him. Mackenzie looks sweet and timid but she can hold her own when LJ wants to pick a fight. She can get things started too if things are too calm. Tanner is the laid-back one. I can picture him on a beach chair sipping a rum and coke, listening to Jimmy Buffet music on his iPod and watching the girl puppies go by. Not much bothers him.

We're starting to introduce them to semi-solid foods. I'll let you know how that is working out. So, what do you you think: is it time for another video?

  1. Thanks for the great update! I like your descriptions of their personalities.

    You know I wouldn't say it's *not* time for a new video!

  2. Awww It's good to hear that Mindy and Schuyler are back to being best buds again. That must have been pretty hard on him. Lucas Jackson got very annoyed that mom left this morning, so he made as much noise he could muster, before falling asleep in a Puppeh pile. He got a leg up from Mackenzie (not voluntary on her part) for his valiant, yet unsuccessful attempt to escape the pool.

  7. @doodlebug - we've put Mindy's collar back on her. The puppies are big enough that they will not get caught in it. Sorry you have the flu. Get better quick!
