The pups are 18 days old in these pictures. They are starting to play and to show a little of their personalities. We hear puppy barks, growls and Siren even pointed her little nose to the sky and howled.

I am so glad that the puppies and Grace are back at home. I missed them so much but at the same time it was so wonderful to know that I didn't have to worry about them and that I could focus on Dad and spend as much time at the hospice as I did. But now that they are back I am making sure I make up all the missed cuddles. Grace seems happy to be home too, and is also catching up on her missed snuggles.

Now that the funeral is over though, it is time to get back to training. I hope to put together a training plan for both Magic and Grace so that we can get back to the ring. I hope to start working toward Graces CD and RA and Magic's CDX and NA, NAJ. I would like to accomplish these by the end of the year, but that may be a stretch.
