Puppy Walk

I'm just back from the puppy walk. Vern and Susan have 5 puppies this summer. They were born May 3 so that makes them about 7 weeks old. Each one is named after an airplane part. Their names are Strut, Aileron, Wing, Fuselage, and Prop. (If you don't know the parts of an airplane, I bet you could find out. Can anyone tell me what part of the airplane is the aileron? How about the fuselage?) They love to romp and play. The reason for the puppy walk is to get these young ones used to following a trail and used to being with people and other dogs. Vern always heads out on the trail with a few grown up dogs keeping the group together. Sometimes pups get tired and try to head back to the kennel or get distracted and run off the trail. Vern's border collie, Jessie, went out with us today and seems to keep track of the pups when all of us humans got chatting and lost track of a stray puppy here or there. The picture is of the pups playing along the trail.
