Sunshine Surprise

We took everyone out to the front porch for ten minutes in the evening sunshine. This is an adventurous lot. They don't seem worried in the least way. Tomorrow there's going to be ideology, I promise.

The big new came from Reisen. Up until we saw him in full sun did his beautiful blue eye shine like a jewel. The "one blue eye" is called heterochromia, a rarity in the world and another reason to love Reisen.  This is not a problem, just a lovely little flaw that makes this one special. With it he can see into the future, as well as the past, and see spirits.

Tails Up!

 Another milestone. When the Candies get old enough to start feeling confident about their world their little tails go upward. This is the default position of a Basset tail: up and waggy. This morning everyone is running hither and thither with their tails up and wagging.  Love it!

Yesterday Ann put puppy toys into the pen and a few of them have started playing with them.  I'll try to get some pictures . . . The babies also have their noses in the water dish. Not drinking, just seeing what's there. A day after they start drinking we will begin putting soft puppy chow into their diet.

One Little Indian

We will have only one little boy still available after this morning.

Pocki, a lovely tri colored male, is the last puppy.
Someone has to be the last one.
