These babies take treats so gently. It’s wonderful. We are just practicing sitting as a way to request treats (as opposed to climbing the human and jumping like popcorn. 😂)

It’s fun having puppies that actually want to cuddle up in snuggly beds. My big retriever mixes are usually spread out on the cold floor at this age but these guys appreciate cozy. So cute.

We are babysitting/evaluating 3 of the puppies from Mandala Dogs recent litter. (Lucy’s grandpuppies and cousins-ish to Tess and Rose). They are 8.5 weeks old. I’ll post more in the next few days but right now just sharing this attempt at bitey face games between Tess and little Taz. His whole head fits in her mouth!! She and Charlotte are working hard to figure out how to play with these sweet tiny new friends. Mid video watch for Charlotte bringing an antler offering. 😂😍

Charlotte and Tess helping put down the ruggable in the kitchen after washing. There is a phenomenon around here where if you are trying to do anything with a rug- pick it up, straighten it- literally anything, there will always be at least one dog standing on it ready to “help” 🤪

is completely gone! Murmurs like this are often a normal variant during development and it turns out that was the case with hers. She’s fine. Yay!

Tess charming Grandma into allowing her to sit in a chair at the table and snuggle after the meal. 😂I was thrilled with her today. She handled a house full of company without getting over aroused, and had really good self control about not jumping on guests. Good girl Tess.

Merry Christmas from the pack at Old Mission.
