We had fun today taking pictures of our adorable puppies. This is such a fun age. The pups often won't cooperate with pictures after this week...so we get them while we can! Here are a couple of the outtakes from today's shoot.

Rules of 7
We have two litters of puppies currently on the ground who are about a week apart. Today I brought them outside for a bit so I could change out the whelping boxes and newspapers, as you can imagine puppies poop ALOT...more than you can probably imagine, so it was nice to be able to put them on the grass and get their areas clean rather than moving them into one area in the house to clean the other to turn around and have to clean up the temporary area...having pups outside is one of the nice things about Summer pups! :)
My children also enjoy playing with the pups in their play yard as we have slides and different play structures for the pups. It's very good for the pups to have a variety of different experiences while they are still very young. With my own puppies I follow the rules of 7
