April 24, 2009 The pups are 5 weeks old.

In true Siberian fashion, Anchundia, the mother, digs a hole to China.	The source of Anchundia's happiness is the puppies are being weaned.	Ready to run a marathon
"Anchundia, I see a great home with an ever-available supply of pizza crust in your future," Brenda predicts.	"Excuse me, Brenda," Anchundia remarks, "but while your mom, Jennifer, is petting my front, that does not mean you don't have to scratch my back! Teamwork! Rah rah!"	"Ooh, I love having a massage," Anchundia says.
"Hey, Arturo," Anchundia says, "I have this 'thing' for men. So will you be my Valentine in April?"	Using her arm as a gate, Anchundia tells Carl, "Pay the toll if you want to get up! The toll is 25 kisses!"	World's Happiest Lap Dog
"Decisions, decisions," Brenda is thinking, "Lucy or Luis?"	Larsen says to Luis, "You take that side. I'll take this one. On my count, PULL! One, two, three!"	"You've heard of riding the horses outside department stores for a quarter? My foot gets to ride the rocking chair for free like this!"
"Surely I'll get away with what I just did by hiding under here."	It's a therapy-inducing moment when you realize you can no longer fit under the couch.	"Just a little bit closer, Ronnie, so I can plant a big one!"
"Hey, Brenda," Larsen says, "I have an itch right behind that ear. Do you mind scratching it for 30 minutes or so?"	"Oh, you are SO cute! I just have to touch you, Lukas," Brenda says.	You know you have a big mouth when you can fit the collar AND the box in there!
"I love the smell of puppy breath, little one," Jennifer reveals.	Jennifer practices her hypnotic skills, "You're getting sleepy. . . "	Can you tell them apart? Which one is Larsen? Which one is Luis? The stuffed kitty is neither.
"Oh, boy," L. B. discovers, "you can chew from underneath and get freshly licked metal. Yum!"	"Hey, this tastes like my brother has already been here."	"All right, boys," Lucy gloats, "All you killed is that towel. I have conquered this stuffed dog all by my little self."
"I think it's alive," Larsen whispers to Luis. "What do you think?"	"I have to grab this one before Lucy sees it," Larsen realizes.	Favorite Chew Toys: LUIS - a box; LARSEN - stuffed kitty
Luis spies Larsen's kitty.	Whose box is it? And the winner is?	Whose stuffed toy is it? And the winner is?
"Oh, L. B.," Ronnie lets him now, "you are just so squeezably Panda-like.	"Rules of the road," Ronnie teaches, "Be nice to your family. Don't dig holes bigger than you are. And no moves to California!"	"If I didn't have somany things to destroy -- I mean, explore," Larsen grins sheepishly, "I could lie in her arms forever."
"Don't turn away from me, Jennifer!" Luis commands. "I expect undivided attention!"	Think Larsen could handle an agility course?	Caught on the camera
Larsen	More Larsen	"You know, Luis," Ronnie remarks, "you'll be really handsome when both ears stand up! But you're cuter this way."
Luis	"Lean on me," Luis says to Brenda.	"I guess all babies have to suffer through incessant kissing," Luis says to Brenda.
"If the massage doesn't work, Luis," Brenda says, "I will sing a lullaby."	Luis, Brenda's main squeeze	When no one is watching, Luis steals the purple kitty bed.
"I'm a Mountain Dew boy," Luis decides.	Calculating	Lukas
"Look deep into my eyes, Ronnie," Lukas says, "and let me shower you with puppy kisses."	More puppy kisses	Lukas discovers the Wide World of Tennis Balls.
"Hey, look. It fits perfectly in the mouth," Lukas shows his siblings.	"Humans cover up with blankets. I like my couch," Lukas says.	"And out I pop!" says Lukas.
Lucy likes to lie her head on its side when being scratched.	Lukas, a Siberian in sheep's clothing, says, "I can't walk. My leg hurts. Carry me." :)	Lucy says, "Hey, if it worked for Lukas . . ."
Carl says, "Give me a kiss." Lucy says, "I'd rather chew on your hat."	And last, but not least, Lucy says, "Pick me up!"
