more on our week

I can't believe how much the little devils have changed. Drummer has grown legs and lost body fuzz, so he's looking totally geeky right now. Piper has really come together this week (doesn't mean she won't be a geek NEXT week, of course!). She really looks like a miniature dog right now, not a puppy. We measured them at the trial. Piper is 6 1/4" at the withers and 3 lb 2.5 oz. Drummer is 7 1/4" and 3 lbs 3.5 oz. 

They are also showing flashes of what may well be their adult personalities. Piper is very bold, doesn't stop to think. Drummer is a little mellower, more cuddly. Both are very bright. Friday night Lianne was entered in the evening trial. We didn't get to the hotel until 9 or so. Piper and Drummer had already had dinner,  Fine (BC baby, formerly "Prancer") was with us and had not. Lianne put her in her crate with her dinner. Piper's crate was next to Fine's. Piper kept looking at Fine eating. Had her nose to the crate door. Then all of the sudden she ran into her own crate and looked at me. Pods get fed in their crates, so she apparently thought if she got in, she would get more dinner. : )

When I raise puppies, I like to give them a lot of different experiences. I take them new places, and at him, introduce them to new items and footings when possible. These guys have gotten the varied footing thing, that's for sure! Outside on snow and ice has been QUITE the experience! And now that it is melting, they like climbing the "hills", and sometimes they fall through. They are handling it well. : ) Also make sure to check out our latest You Tube with the balance board from today!
