Who are you going to vote for in the next election; will Lindsay relapse; can Britney get custody of her kids again; what puppy will Tom keep?
I am going to need serious help. I know as much about evaluating five and a half week old pups as I do vector calculus. Ask me about photography, (Stick with Canon) cars, (Mercedes Benz makes a nice roadster) guitars,(Fender) and I can help you. But picking a puppy from a litter you spent three weeks sleeping on an air mattress next to?
Part of the hang up is I don’t have a firm grip on what will correct itself when they get bigger, and what wont. Will the toe out problem get better when they get some chest? How straight of a leg is too straight? Is a cow hocked puppy going to get better? How about feet? Ear set? Top line? And tails! What about tails!
Tomorrow, Sue is coming over and we are going to put the pups on a grooming table and start evaluating. Rest assured I am going to ask some embarrassingly dumb questions. And just when you think you are getting a foothold on this puppy raising thing.

just wanted to let you know I love your blog. although I am not getting a pup any time soon your litter is beautiful and I love the play by play and interaction of you and the litter. I also love all the pictures. good luck and have fun only a few more weeks of joy left.

Thanks. It's going fast. I am in no hurry for all this to end. I have heard "After 7 weeks, your ready for them to go to their new homes" Not the case here.
Just wait, Tom. I'm betting you WILL be relieved when at least a few of the pups depart. :-)
