FAQ: How are the Puppies doing?

Second to, "How does Stephan like working at the hospital" is concern over the dogs, and how they are dealing with the "cold". Well, firstly, it's actually been quite warm here, with temperatures ranging from 30F to -9F, so things are about average for February in the Northern US. BUT, the girls don't seem to even notice the cold. They love playing in the snow, digging for sticks, rolling around on the ground, eating frozen poop-cicles...

Actually, a really weird behavior has started along with the discovery of snow. Whenever they get out there, it's like someone has told them that buried deep under the cold, wet stuff, is a treasure, and the first one to unearth the treasure gets table-scraps for life! They dig their noses into the snow and sniff and dig until the entire yard has been turned over every morning. I don't think they've found treasure yet, unless, to a dog, frozen poop is a treasure beyond human understanding.


I've also finally uploaded a photo of the chicken coop in Plevna. Check it out!
