With the adoption of Joseph, we are down to six in this special forces team. Specializing in ground work, search and destroy, stealth attack, covert observation and silent infiltration (ok, well, not exactly silent) but each individual is in training for their special mission of Operation Endless Fun with a side goal of Early Warning System.
This is their first time outside. As I observed them gamely digging holes, pulling on the shade and generally seeking anything to chew, I found a rope/ball toy for them to chew. This will also serve the purpose for a rousing game of tug-o-war should the notion take them.
This mob was born at my house after their mom turned out to be pregnant. She did an admiral job of raising this bunch of hooligans and is now resting–poor thing–worn out from non-stop mother duty to a group of seven rowdy youngsters.
At any given time, this Special Ops Force will be known as the Monsters, the Babies, the Clowns or the Early Warning System.
Individually, they are the most huggable bunch of babies you’d ever want to meet. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with–albeit a totally disorganized force.
They are an active bunch–being Rat Terriers and puppies. They love to play and are extremely curious. Despite their size, they are hardy little pups and have been eager for just about any task or game we can ask of them.
I am hoping that lots of play outside today will make for a quiet bunch of sleepy puppies tonight…one can only hope. ~Cindy
