Runa doesn't watch as Boy 2 meets Ara


Boy 1 in Stu's lap holding off Boy 2 as Boy 3 and the Girl watch


The primary game is still "find dinner." 


At least Runa gets to roll in the grass while nursing now.






Runa's pups at 3 weeks continued....



The little girl looks like she is wearing a white bib, and oh what a tummy.

Of course, Boy 2 is the first to try the new wet food.




Boy2 has to keep up his strength to feist with Boy 1 as the smaller pups look on.

Now eating...and wearing... a little solid food

Going out to play in the yard.  L to R:  Boy 3, Girl, Boy 2, Boy 1 and Stu
