A busy day for Gilda's puppies

Yesterday "G" puppies had a busy day. First they went for the first time to the pond. We decided that it would be easier to have Gilda with us so puppies could follow her. Well...as you could see, it is easier said than done.

Gilda loves to swim! When we let her off the leash she jumped into the pond and swam for several minutes. Then she went to search for a rabbit. When she got back, she swam more.

Puppies were fascinated by water. We decided not to stay long at the pond as this spring the water level is down and for some reason we have a lot of algae there (which can be poisonous to dogs).

In the afternoon the pups went for a walk to our fenced 12 acre field. They ran, play, investigated, and were using their noses well.
