We're down to 5 (only 2 haven't been sold though). 5 seems so manageable after 8! I've been letting them loose in our upper yard most the day (it's fenced in) and they seem to be loving the freedom from the kennel. Mattie likes being able to lounge around with them and play with them during the day. 
Our friends Jenny and Dave along with their 3 kids came to pick up "Barley" yesterday. We hardly get to see them (last time was a week before Sarah was born), but every time we do, we always talk about how much we like them and wish we could see them more often. 
Dave asked if we had named the puppy we're keeping. Nope! If we're not careful, she'll know herself as "puppy." Any suggestions on name??? Let us know!! Mattie is named after an old schooner in Maine; so I like the idea of this puppy being named after something/somewhere in Maine, or another place we've travelled. But we need to get to work and decide!
This picture cracks me up - the little guy can't figure out how to get up the step! He eventually got it! :)
I took the pups to the vet today for shot #1. It was like their doggie instinct kicked in and they new they were going somewhere horrible ... the howled, barked, and whinned all the way there. I was laughing so hard I was crying - more out of fear for our drive to Maine with the pup to deliever to Mark & Esther. At least it'll only be 1 and not 5! But then they were quiet the whole way home. The vet said they look healthy as can be, had no worms (which is rare for pups) and he also said they are BIG puppies :)

aww! is that our little guy that was trying to figure out how to walk up the step?
they do look BIG. and happy & healthy! :o) we're still working on the name over here too.
i cannot wait to come pick him up & see you!!!
p.s. in keeping with the nautical names for your pup...you could call her "laoghaire" (pronounced leary, for all you non-irish speakers), after our seaside home in ireland.
i'd love one but tim says "no" :(
