Missouri boys check out the yard
1/8/06
After a long quarrantine, we took the boys outside to have some freedom, fresh air and fun. They run like pups.  They are inquisitive, but Marbles is still rather shy about people.  He wants to hide, but at the same time wants very much to trust and enjoy himself.

Here's a few pics from today
They are now exhausted and going to sleep very well tonight
These 2 pictures were taken on January 15th.  The boys are enjoying some free time and love to play.  Look at all the new fur on these guys.   Bandit likes to use his paws, and Smokey just got some squirt cheese for being a good boy.  He bounces just like a pup.

They will have their neuters on the 24th of January.  Till then, they are wearing belly bands in the house.  They have no idea that lifting their leg every 2 seconds is a no-no.
January 17th
Marble works up the courage to visit us in our office and check out one of the comfy dog beds.  He loves to steel toys and take them to his special hiding place.
UPDATE:  01/24/06
The boys have all been neutered. 
Smokey had an inguinal/scrotal hernia repaired at the same time.
All are heartworm/lyme negative

They will recover for a few days and then be ready for adoption, to the right home.
The Boys are all doing well.  We finally got some new pictures to post.  Since their surgeries, they've been much better with using the doggy door, but old habits are hard to break.  They still need more work with housetraining.

The following pictures were taken in February.  They have fur now, and pretty soon they'll be getting groomed.  We wanted to wait till their skin calmed down. 
Check out this squishy face on Bandit.  He was taking a well deserved nap after playing in the snow.  He's become very lovable and will hop up onto me any chance he gets.
Where's the ball?  It was just here a second ago..  hmm..  I'm gonna go look for it.

February 26th,  Marbles meets his new mommy.  He's the first one of the Mill Boys to leave our nest.  He said goodbye to everyone today, and now has a new home in New Hampshire. 
Ok, now it's Bandit & Smokey's turn!!!
March Update:
The boys are really coming out of their shells.  Loving, playful and ready for their next journey.  A forever home is what they need to continue to be the dogs they should have been.

Pictures below show them all groomed and lookin GOOD!!! 
I think their sable coloring is striking
