 1 Like mother, like son... 35 day old Jack gets underfoot while Bob cooks!
|  2 Tale of 3 males? Bob compares brothers - Astro is Jack's half brother, and nearly 2 years old compared to Jack who is just starting into his 6th week.
|  3 Et tu, Conan? EVERYONE stands in the kitchen when Bob cooks!
|  4 Under foot... And in this case, underboobs! Jack can still walk right under his mother! Don't they look like matching cows?
|
 5 Yup, there is a reason Jack is the biggest... He's got a nose for chow!
|  6 36 day old pups snooze... While the nursery is cleaned yet again. Conan takes the opportunity to snoop for puppy toys to steal.
|  7 The paper is now down... I wonder how long it will be before its messed up!
|  8 Objects are returned ... To the cleaned and newly papered nursery. I hide the toys in the various objects - and Conan knows this too!
|
 9 37 day old Jack... We have taken time off this week to devote to puppy socialization parties. But its still cold in MN and visitors have not come to visit, so I have taken the pups to the party! I am at my coffee shop with Jack, and this kind lady took some time to meet him!
|  10 This whole series of pix features beheaded people... Its not because I am that bad at taking pix! Its because I promised to respect these folks privacy in return for their socialization services!
|  11 In the sherpa... Pups are ferried one at a time to spend time at the coffee shop meeting strangers. It can get LOUD - this is the pups first ride in the car!
|  12 They said I could leave their heads on... Staffers do their part to socialize Tiny!
|
 13 Tiny and Andy Enjoy a brief visit!
|  14 This gal was so sweet! And she adored Tiny, too!
|  15 Jessica and "Beagle Boy".. The Boogie Woogie Beagle Boy from Comany B is AKA Nemo!
|  16 This lady was so beautiful! It was a shame to behead her! She done good socializing Nemo, too!
|
 17 Jamie helps out.... Nemo is taking it all in - the world is HUGE outside the nursery, and this is news to him!
|  18 Back at the ranch... The pups are tiring so they are resting and re-energizing, but I can't say the same for me - its WORK to have a litter in the winter time in MN - never again I say, never again in the winter!
|  19 Its more than cleaning.... Its socializing! Pups get exposure to the vacuum up close and personal today.
|  20 Lookit... Pups wandering tra-la-la thru the house...
|
 21 And then you turn the vaccuum on... And they scatter! I turned it on and off numerous times, and the pups quickly learned to imitate their elders and ignore it.
|  22 Is that more stuff under the couch? I just cleaned, too- doggone it! Ruby enjoys playing with the pups from a position of power, meanwhile pups taunt from below!
|  23 Back at the coffee shop... I am done with my 'break' and its back to it, resuming with Intrepid! This nice lady was more than happy to love Intrepid up!
|  24 This nice man is getting a lab pup soon... So he was more than willing to help socialize as he knows how important it is. Thanks, headless man!
