    Who is luckier? You with those adorable puppies, or the adorable puppies with a kind and loving companion (you)?
    Either way, y'all are going to be very happy together (remember that when you are house-training!).

    Very cute puppies!
    Would love to have one, but I am too lets-say independent... a pet would only suffer with me! I THINK!

    What a pair of cuties. Ms Taffy looks like she is putting on her Ms. Innocent face for the photo while Mr. Pepper looks as tho he is looking for something to get into. Makes me want a puppy even tho I already have my hands full. Keep us posted as I am sure you will have many entertaining "tails" for us.

    Denny's baby those are some cuties. I love puppy breath. They are just to sweet. Have you ever
    heard of making and outdoor ltter box to train your
    puppies to go potty in?
    I hated trying to keep the yard clean when I had
    bigger dogs. I made a 6ft X 6ft area or you could make it smaller. I dug the grass out and put down cement patio blocks and fenced it in. Then on top of the cement blocks I put a 1-2 inch layer of cedar chips. Everytime I took the pups out to go potty I would put them in the pen and say, go pee, go pee.
    I have always had dogs that peed on command once
    they got older.
    I also make up a large roasting pan with cedar chips in it and placed it in one end of a large metal dog crate I put them in at night or during the day when
    I would be gone so they knew that was their potty area when they were puppies.
    Worked like a charm.
    When they got older and were out playing in the yard
    with me.All of a sudden they would head for the potty
    pen. Do their duty and come back out to play.
    I would also pick up the cedar chips every 2wks and wash the blocks down with a bleack water solution. Then put new cedar chips back down on top. My son has two large lab mix's that he potty trained the same way. Now my grandson can go out in the yard without stepping in any doggy doo doo. Makes cleaning up the poo so much easier.
    As you can scoop it up right after they are done and put it in a trash bag. No more poo hunting. ;)
