Ummm, well...I've no explanation for this other than she is a tri smooth girl and they're really something else.
If you're interested in some insanity of your own, I may have a tri smooth girl yet to place.

When they were good they were very, very good and when they were bad, they were horrid.
Time to move to the really big pen to give these babies room to wrestle.

Puppies had 6 friendly strangers come play with them today. They have now met men, women and older children. They were completely worn out by all the attention. Photo credits friendly stranger Beth.

Who remembers this face from our Amphibians litter (Gilda x Phoenix)? This is baby Newt (now Frankie) going for his first boat ride on July 4th. Big thanks to mom Julia for sharing this adorable photo.

First water exposure. Today for their novel experiences puppies walked through water. ..kind of. A very wet, warm towel in a crate pan served as our "pond". We're looking for puppies to react, settle/recover and then explore. The recovery/explore portion is what we're trying to learn through repetition. An adult dog that can recover from a surprise or new situation and move quickly to exploration and curiosity is going to be so much better equipped to face the world. They can learn more things and go more places. They will be better canine citizens. Gelato does exactly what we want our puppies to do, and is going to use these experiences to gain confidence.

Sweet dreams; Biscotti on Latka.
Whelping boxes are down and litters are merged. Crumpet and Freya are co-parenting.
It really is a testament to the temperament of these girls that they will not only accept each other in their space but they will nurse and wash any puppy that toddles up.

Humans could perhaps learn a thing here.

This slightly terrifying crab was our novel exposure today. It moves, lights up and plays music. Even with the music off, I worried it might be too much for puppies this age. I shouldn't have worried. I was pleased with the movement towards a novel object and several puppies tried to play with it.

Tatertot demonstrating our activity for today...climbing over a rolled up towel. Great for early muscle development and confidence. Love how they are already seeking people out for affection/reward.

Hanging in the pool while mommies eat dinner and houses get cleaned. That's Idaho yelling.
