And these pups are getting too fast for me. Blue seems to have a good internal homing devise. I generally keep the pups in the outdoor pup corral when I'm trying to take their individual photos. If I can manage to get some distance between Blue and myself, he'll typically run back to the corral and tease the pups still within it. He actually wants to rejoin the pack but can't figure out a way in. The others have very good tracking ability and it's becoming difficult to lose them. I set them down pointing away from me, jog a few feet, only to have them right on my heels when I turn around with the camera. Not atypical for age, but I think my jogging abilities have decreased. One thing is evident. Either they are faster than normal or I'm slower. I had a few attempts photographing Brown this week. Once I finally did get some distance away from him all he wanted to do was climb on whatever he could find that would hold him upright. Beige girl I think gets this weeks award for being most inquisitive but that's been fairly consistent over the weeks. Pink was the easiest, pretty content to stay essentially where I placed her and enjoy the flowers. The pups are all sweet and cuddly but their shark teeth and sharp nails are something else all together. I threw a blanket on the ground with plans to just relax and enjoy the weather with them, hoping they would play and explore but to no avail. All they want to do was to compete for the best spot on my lap, claw their way around and bite. A bit much with the whole pack of them doing it. Even if only 4. I am trying to discourage biting but so far have had little luck. They're also right underfoot as I walk along. Each foot fall has be careful and deliberate. For the most part, their follow me is superb! As far as food goes, they've been eating Victor Professional and doing well on it. I've been trying to wean them from mash to dry kibble but they're pretty spoiled in that respect. They did eat about 3/4 of their regular morning intake straight up and dry this morning. So, I guess we're making progress. They're always hungry in the morning. Throughout the day, not as inclined to feast on their meals if not blended with water. I'm working on it but also have to keep their weight up for their cropping appointments.
Leaf duty has continued throughout the week but the pollen is starting to rain down so I think I'm at least seeing light at the end of that tunnel. Finally. I also celebrated my Afghan Hounds 1st birthday this week and of course had to do a photo shoot with him too. I've included a couple. Just because. He's cute :-)
Outside of that, I've scheduled meet ups with each of you this coming week and look forward to meeting all.
The slide show below are some extras taken throughout the week and during individual photo shoots.
