Rattler Pups outside in the big, big world

 Big new developments for both litters in the last 2 days:

The Mighty Rattlers have been exploring the outside world in the wonderful fall weather.  They haven't been brave enough to venture off our deck into the yard just yet, but they've met the rest of the pack and have been exploring the deck - eating sticks & leaves, sprinting around, and generally learning about the next phase of the big, new world.

The Deadly Viper Assassin Squad pups have moved into their big pool, and started their first solid meal today - they dove right in, telling me it was 'time for real food!' by diving into mama Brie's bowl this morning while she was trying to eat.

On to the good stuff - over 100 pics!  And away we go....

10/13/22 - Mealtime for DVAS & more outside adventures for the Mighty Rattlers

First solid food for the DVAS...they loved it!

Trinket says, "Oh, Hai!"

During weigh-in this morning, the Mighty Rattlers were really interested in watching the little DVAS get weighed - I had quite an audience!

Rocky - a little braver today.

Whenever pups begin to come out into the big world, our adults take up sentry duty to make sure they're safe.  

Here's Chewy, standing guard.

Trinity and Dots also taking up sentry positions.

And more sentries - Johnson and Daddy Baxter joining in.
