Puppies!

While we were at Chad's grandparents' farm, we had the great fortune of getting to see/touch a litter of German Shepherd puppies. They were at my favorite stage, kind of fumbling around - running sideways like their bottoms were trying to win a race against their heads. They were adorable. And the best part was that they were BIG puppies, so we were able to let our toddler interact with them without fear that he'd squish one inadvertently.

Here we are holding (and walking with) the first puppy.

I'm not sure how great you are with physics, but if you apply basic knowledge of a fulcrum to this picture, you can clearly imagine how the puppy ended up on it's head and my son ended up with a puzzled look on his face...



This one shows how the puppy is more than a formidable challenge to carry.

Here's my boy yelling 'Cheeeeeese" at me.

And here's my boy commanding the puppy to say cheese, "Tsay tcheeze puppy!!!!"
