One of many fun days with pups! This from a few days back... This particular day I decided to introduce Shine to the litter. They've seen plenty of each other actually but always with a fence between them. As a group in the open all went swimmingly. Especially when Shine introduced them to our "water feature"... the trough! It serves as an always available source of drinking water, and for some a dipping spot. Getka, Duke and Fancy specifically love to get their feet wet! Sometimes a bit more. Seems a couple of the pups were inclined to take advantage of a quick foot soak and wallow too. Shine sat back and watched as if saying, "well, you're not actually supposed to get in it"! Never has been her thing. All in all the encounter was a great one. The young leading the way for the younger. And each pup given the opportunity to explore on their own terms.
I've had a lot of fun with this litter as I have with all pups who preceded them. Each similar but also uniquely individual.
Tomorrow we have a big day planned! Bambi, No Name Purple and Teslo have appointments scheduled to obtain their health certificates. Assuming all goes as planned, each will begin their journeys with their new families. Always a bitter sweet time for me. I get pretty attached to each of those unique little personalities but also love to hear and see the joy they bring to the hearts and souls of others.
Today I spent a little time trying to capture week eight photos of those scheduled to depart tomorrow. As for the others, I'll wait until after their crops are complete and catch them in all their glory.
