Meeting New People (and other Family Members)

The puppies are being exposed for longer periods to other humans...and dogs.  Lily's permanent family have a second visit to see their new Mom.   It is clear that Lily trusts her human family with her babies and is proud to show them off!

Because young puppies are so vulnerable, we make sure that no outside shoes are worn in the house, and that everyone has clean clothes and sanitized hands.

Another one of our experienced puppy handlers has stopped by for a short visit, and helps us get some cute puppy-face shots.

 

Hmmm. Looks like the puppies smell Lily's sister "Auntie Emmy" on these pants.

Lola has Uncle Cosmo under close surveillance while he meets her puppy through the gate.

But she gives little Bibi a serious stink-eye, and eventually warns her away entirely.
