Three More Weeks

The pups are 6 weeks old this week, so they will receive temperament and coat evaluations before they are selected by families like us to take home. At 8 weeks, Geordi will be able to be formally adopted into our home. There are a handful of things we've been preparing. First, we're in the process of cleaning up or removing everything at a dog's eye-level or lower. We've gotten new shelves, cleaned up the den and living room, and have put away anything on the floor that can possibly be put away (such as paper, shoes, extra wires, crafts, books, etc). My crafts are being slowly organized into lock-tight tupperware boxes. After this week, the carpets and tile floors will get a thorough sweeping and vacuuming. I'm also inspecting all nooks and crannies around the common areas for insects or spiderwebs. We're considering getting trash cans with lids. Hooks have been stuck on the walls for our hats. Old cardboard boxes (possibly chewable) have been cut down and will be discarded with recycling this weekend. We're also still reading the several dog books we have.
