Bath Day for the Icelandic Sheepdog Puppies

Thought you might like to see what Freyja looked like at nine weeks of age, here she is free-stacking out in the sheep pasture.


Hi Guys


Well, lets see what is new today, a couple of the younger puppies found and got into a cat poo this morning.. ekk, so everyone got baths, which then needed to be dried as they were sure they were so! cold afterwards (not, its up in the 20's but they played if for all they are worth)
The rest of the crew on the other hand, loved their new toys today.. which were, a new doggy ball with four rope ends so more then one can play at the same time, a new homemade tug toy made from fake fur, and last but not least a big plastic cutting board, that has a lift on each end, so that the middle is a baby wobble board under their feet.
On the training end of things, all the puppies got time today on the grooming table and the steel comb run over their body and a brief stacking training.. Its been a nice, quiet grey overcast, little rain day.. lots of nice music for them.. the pups love rock (that would be J teaching them that) and they get to hear lots of voices etc as I like CBC on the radio but today we had in Celtic and it was so funny to watch them all react to the new sounds being played.
I am having a quiet day myself, feeling tired, and planning a early night for everyone.
