PIT STOP: SOMEWHERE IN MISSOURI

Allie and Kevin stopped after a few hours for water/potty breaks. All the pups did great once they got used to the leash! Maizey wasn't too fond of the leash initially, but learned very quickly.

One of the cutest pictures: Lilac snuggling with Snoopy (click on the pic for an enlarged view)!

She is smitten with this boy!

Can't resist snuggles from Kevin either!

Minnie isn't sure what to think about this 2 legged creature petting her!

Maizey and Minnie being affectionate with each other

Minnie is catching a scent

Look at Maizey's precious eyes

Trixie is ready to play!

It's amazing how affectionate and resilient they are

Snoopy thinks no one can see him (we won't tell)

Some much needed exercise with Kevin

Little Lilac should be in commercials (Cottonelle maybe?)!

Come on...lets play already!

Hudson acts like he's shy...we all know better!

Did you know that BLACK dogs are often the last to be adopted and amongst the first to be put to sleep in shelters? Thanks to rescue groups, puppies like Hudson have a chance!

Hudson is going to be incredibly handsome when he grows up!

You can almost smell the puppy breath!

Chin Chin is an absolute angel- hard to believe she only weighed 3 pounds not long ago!

Enjoying the break...

Atticus may be big, but he's just a big baby!

Kevin just can't help himself- they're all so loveable!
