Moving Day!

You can probably tell that the babies are getting pretty big. Usually, when they hit three weeks, we expand their living area from four feet by four feet to four by eight. Below, you can see their new and improved home that we put together while they slept happily in the bin.

A few of the pups have climbed across the 4 inch high wall - but once over there, they can't figure out how to get back. In a couple of days, they'll be going back and forth without a thought.

Here, some of the "M"s are playing and some are snoozing. The red square is a reuseable ice pack which they like to sleep on. In the far left corner is a frozen water bottle - another thing they enjoy. It's pretty hot outside and probably in about the mid to high seventies in the house but they still seem to get warm and enjoy these cool things.

Over the weekend, it was also moving day for the chickens. We now have an extremely DE-LUXE enclosure for the chickens and they are learning to sleep in their little hen house. Our friend Jose' built us this terrific chicken estate. We're now trying to figure out a catchy name for the entire abode.

From this distance, you can see the entire structure. It's about 10 feet by 15 feet and the girls seem really happy now that they are out of the dog run and out in the dirt. Now, we have to transform what was the "chicken run" back to it's original clean dog run status.
