Communal living

The puppies are going to be 3 weeks old tomorrow. They are starting to play now, and I feel their little teeth starting to come in. I walked by a few minutes ago and Mindy Sue, Mia, and Cricket are all in there along with the puppies.Until the puppies are big enough to try to get out of the pen, I leave the door to it open all the time. That way, Cricket can come and go instead of me lifting her in and out all day long. Mindy Sue (in the leopard print) and Mia are in there with the puppies as much as Cricket is. They are always cleaning them, so this is the cleanest batch of puppies ever! Today was big dog bath day, hence the leopard drying coat on Mindy Sue. Her adult fur is coming in, and it will dry sticking up in all different directions if I don't put the coat on her to make her hair lay down when dry.
