This weekend, the puppies will be off to their forever loving homes.  We've learned a lot from these puppies.  I thought that by raising puppies it would teach my boys how to take care of animals. . .

Such as how to handle them.  But it turns out that my son pretended it was an airplane instead.

So we tried again when they got a little older.  I still think he would have pretended it was an airplane if Leo weren't so heavy.

So we moved on to things like feeding them.

I guess it worked, they ate it.

And it didn't seem to hurt them any.
You can thank my 2 year old if your dog ends up loving vegetables.

My older son took on the responsibility of training them.

It's just that he trained them to dig.

I think it's best that these pups leave while they're young
before any of this is instilled in their brains.
But we sure will miss them.
