Bath day

Kriszty asked for pup IDs on the previous photos... here you are:
Umm, let's see...
1) CM beating someone up- maybe LM?
2) + 3) IG posing and killing a poobag
4) LM demonstrating his pooncey-tailed strut (gets it from his dad)
5) Midget + Muddy (with LM + someone else behind them)
6) SSB eating the clamshell
7) + 8) Puppy-fest under the IKEA tunnel- that's Midget in the foreground of the first photo, SSB chewing the strut, and CM chewing a bone in the second photo- shortly before LM arrived and confiscated it.

No pics today, but they did have their first bath, so they were stunningly white + fluffy for about 15 minutes. CM has a different coat from the others- it's more like DiscoDiva/Maverick's puppy coat- still long, but wavier + less fluffy than the others. She was the best behaved in the bath, but was accidentally drenched with the cold rinse water (instead of the warm) + had major shivers requiring cossetting inside + a warm egg/catfood toddy.

IG is more commonly known as "Feryl Beryl"- she's a bit of a bitch, as it were. She's the bitiest of the lot- not half as sweet as she looks.

LM went berko in the bath- did NOT like the water at all, but typically ignored the warm food reward to look for an escape from the laundry den.

BigBoy was a handful to get bathed, given that he + SSB had been digging in the ex-flowerbed up until their turn for water-torture. He didn't mind the warm blower-heater treatment though, and very sweetly (+ loudly) asked to go out of the den to pee, then trotted back to bed.

SSB was his usual gorgeous self- loved his towel-dry cuddle with my mum, but wanted to get out ASAP for urgent trouser-savaging.

Midget is just the sweetest- she's still the smallest (2kg compared to most of the others' 3.5-4kg+) + gets booted away from the food bowl, but otherwise is no different to her siblings in energy levels or endurance. She's actually pretty independent + spends much time away from the house, exploring (although she can move very fast back home for meals). We have to keep a lookout for eagles- she's not much different to bunnies!
