The puppies continue to thrive and are becoming more active daily, although they soon tire and settle down to sleep after their bouts of play.  This week they have spent short periods downstairs and been introduced to my other shelties under strict supervision.  During the coming week, they will be introduced to the garden and the outside world in order to become accustomed to visitors and everyday sights and sounds.   Quite a few photos this week, which tell the story much better than I can.
