Day 29: Swinging gently in a hanging basket can’t be topped...

Bangeloo seems to feel comfortable inside the little dog house...

 This is Bailey enjoying his new kind of food

Day 30: Here you can really see how they’ve grown...

This is Herr Müller, our big help even as a dog-sitter...

... can I come back in if I promise not to empty the food dishes?

Day 30: That was a hot, hot day...

 So now who am I going to play with - everybody’s asleep!!!

Day 31: Little Bolera, our sweety pie ...

Now the pups are starting to be playful and it’s fun to hold them.

Bolera finds it too hot to even eat.

 Aunt Latoya is helping Piala with the pups.

 Since they got their little teeth they chew on just about everything.

Day 33: Mom’s the Best

Life is great early in the morning - in bed...

...but to some pups it seems...

...terribly boring...

and so they start a little fight...

... OK Mom, now it’s your turn!

Piala is very patient with her pups.

 But after a while she get’s fed up and tells the little ones to stop and leave her alone - over and over again - until she has to...

 punish them by putting her whole mouth over their head - over and over again - until they stop attacking her.

Day 34: Today we went to see the photographer in town, but it was so hot that we really didn’t feel like going anywhere...

...and we’re NOT staying in this basket!!!

Well, maybe with Latoya...but can’t we sit in the shade?

Why don’t you go on inside and we’ll look for a shady spot out here somewhere... we won’t mind...

Yeah... that’s MUCH better!!! You go and take pictures inside - we’ll be just fine out here...

You’re NOT getting me out of here: I’m going to take a nap now.

Day 35: Today was a Fun-day filled with games and toys and a lot of really nice people spending their time with us outside in the yard.

Our big sister “Asila Sombra” came for a visit, too.

Day 35: After all of that fooling around I did get a little tired...
