The pups can now hoof it about 2/3s of a mile. Mostly on task, mostly going the direction we'd like to head. And they gallop or trot and there is very little of the sit-in temper tantrum throwing and carry-me whining. 
The weekend was packed with kids and other dogs and booms. Fireworks didn't freak the babies out...my folks' neighborhood had quite the show with neighbors who spared no expense and apparently feel the need to scratch the itch of competition. 
Lily and Lola spent the night as did & and the kids. Rob and I did some babysitting Saturday morning while & did her shift at the coffee shop. Rob and I might still be recovering.
