Puppy Walks and Weekend Fun

We hope our family and friends are doing well and staying healthy - we are cold free at the moment!!  We took plenty of pictures this week of the puppies and weekend activities, so enjoy! Thunder's birthday was March 1 and he is now  6 years old!!!  

Stormy wanted to get extra close to Ayson while he washed dishes.

While out for walks and if the puppies get to far from each other, one will lay down until the other catches up. Johnny Jet waiting for Stormy.

Stormy LOVES to run fast and Johnny Jet tries to keep up - Jet's muzzle is just barely on the right edge of the photo.

Stormy will run until Johnny Jet tackles her to the ground and they wrestle.

More fierceness on a Saturday morning walk.  Adam has been practicing letting one puppy off the leash (way out back in the orchard) while keeping the other on the leash.

More hide and seek or laying down to let the other catch up.

Practicing to sit.

On Saturday, there was a STEM event for kiddos at Syracuse University.  Amy took Addie and her friend Leena and we met Kate, Emelia, and Ivy there.  Check out the FOUR red heads at the Stem event!!!

Making a hovercraft

Lava lamps!

Paper rockets!

Building a prosthetic leg.  No one could cut duct tape without scissors except Addie (Ayson taught her :) so she was in charge of dispensing the duct tape.

The prosthetic leg challenge!

Addie has started volunteering with Neighbor Denise at the cat shelter (where we got Shadow, Thunder, and Saffron). Today Addie petted the cats, cleaned the litters, and swept the floor (Amy went too - to "pet the pets"!).

Addie giving treats to shy cats Wilson and Tate. 

We spent Sunday mid afternoon with Annie and Bob. Thanks for having us over!  It was great to catch up and watch the puppies explore :)

Check out the gorgeous bird of paradise flower blooming in their greenhouse!! 

Ayson got a kick out of Ms Annie stating "more on"...as in "moron" while adding wood to the fire.

The puppies loved being wrapped up in the blankets!  Mr Bob attended Syracuse University so we brought the STEM booklet Addie received on Saturday to share with Bob and Annie the details to the activities Addie participated in. 

The puppies were tired from exploring the house and running around the yard.

With sudden bursts of puppy wrestling.

Sleepy puppies!
