We went to the vet yesterday and today, split into two groups. Here are the new weights:
1. Alpha Male: 13 lbs. 4 oz.
2. Male 2.2: 12 lbs. 12 oz.
3. Male 3: 12 lbs. 11 1/2 oz.
4.Male 2.1: 12 lbs. 5 1/2 oz.
5.Alpha Female: 12 lbs. 4 1/2 oz.
6.Female 2.1: 11 lbs. 1 1/2 oz.
7.Female 2.2: 10 lbs. 11 oz.
The sun came out after a rainy visit to the vet, so we took a walk out in the forest. These walk shots are difficult because I have Sue on a leash in one hand and the camera in the other. I was completely shocked when I downloaded the pictures and found one of Alpha Female doing a perfect point. That was complete luck.

A funny story from yesterday. I turned the pups loose from the kennel and they went barreling down into the forest, as usual. When I finished cleaning up the kennel, I went out and called for them and they weren’t coming back like they normally do (they are getting pretty good at responding to the whistle and also the command “kennel”). I saw a big puppy hubbub over on the other side of the property line, on a very muddy slope, in a big patch of nettles. When I made it over there, I discovered that my neighbor had a failed meat smoking experiment and had thrown a whole pork shoulder into the forest (he throws bones out for my dogs all of the time, so I wasn’t worried about poison or anything). The pups had “hunted up” the pork shoulder and were all gnawing it. By the time I got the pork away from them (I gave it to Sam) and the pups back into the kennel, I was covered in mud and nettle stings!
New homes, here we come!
