The pups are 7 weeks & 3 days old.
"Do I weigh 20 pounds yet?" Larsen asks Leilani as he gets weighed before his surgery.
Lukas bribes Leilani, "If I turn on the charm, will you promise not to give me a shot?"
Four rowdy pups and a partridge in a pear tree. . . .
"Hey, I like being above my brothers!" Luis gleams. "Listen, though. We didn't get to eat breakfast. So do you mind if I borrow your ink pen?"
"I like my necklace," L. B. says, "but it would be better in gold!"
"If Luis gets an ink pen, I get the beautiful rug," Larsen proclaims.
"Where's an engineer when you need one?" Lucy asks.
"All working dogs need a job," Lucy informs. "I'm a biscuit bobby."
"Uh-oh," Lucy says, "I wonder what life will be like if I can't get my head out of this jug."
"Am I not the cutest little princess you have ever seen in your life?" Lucy asks.
"Sit! Stay!" Lucy tells the stuffie. "You're the best kind of pet!"
"Every girl needs jewelry," informs Lucy, "even if the necklace is five times too big."
"What do you mean I don't have it on correctly?" Lucy asks.
"I have my big girl collar now. I'm ready!" Lucy claims as she springs into action.
"I'm all grown up," Lucy says, as she wears the Big Dog collar and eats a Big Dog biscuit.
"I like that flavor," Lucy tells Brandi. "Mind sharing?"
"This thing known as tail is really tasty," Lucy notes, "but why can't I pull it away from that leg?"
"I need a nap. That tail pulling was hard work," moans Lucy.
"Whoa," halts Lucy. "Am I going to have that many teeth one day?"
"I think we'll pull that one right there, Kirzinger," says Lucy, the dentist-wannabe.
"On second thought," Lucy adds, "this one over here looks more ripe."
Donald carries two sacks of flour, named Luis & Lukas, as they return back to the foster home after surgery.
And the other two, L. B. & Larsen, after the surgery.
"Don't you think this blue disc looks like a Renaissance collar?" Lukas asks Donald. "In the old days, they called them ruff collars. So that name fits!"

L. B. decides, "If the ice water bucket is too big for L. B., L. B. will bring the ice & water closer!"
Larsen asks Donald, "Do you think the men in the white suits are here for you?"
"Hey, we witnessed surgeries today. Since we have experience, let us perform one on you!"
"Hey, Luis," Larsen says, "we have wings of a sort. Let's try to fly."

"You look like my toy, and you smell like my toy," Luis declares. "So you must be my toy!"
Cherubic Ruffian
Luis stands guard while Larsen, the demolition expert, is on duty.
"How can you fuss at something this cute," Lukas wants to know, "while I take a chunk out of my brother?"
L. B. is obviously thrilled (NOT!) with his new attire.
Can you tell Lukas had surgery today?
Preparing for life - The 4 boys huddle while Lucy, the female leader, keeps them in check. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
