6 Week Visit With Families

I can't believe that the 3 crew lasted so long in play. 

Here is the gallery.

Interesting enough the chocolate was shaking and I couldn't figure out why. People thought she was shy but with everyone before this point she was highly playful and anything but shy. I thought hmm is she going into a fear stage? They all do at one point. Then on a video, I noticed she wriggled out of someone's hands. It was an unintentional oops and it took her a bit to recover but she did. This is how they build their coping skills. 

This happened to a pup on an outside visit one year and in that case they were standing up so we introduced a must sit on the floor when possible rule.

I deleted the video as I don't want to embarrass anyone by showing an ooops. Pups are wiggly and they can squirt out of my hands too. It HAS happened to me especially when pups are so wanting to go, go, go! So, no worries. But now I understand the shaking.

She's running like a banshee now upstairs. She was not harmed. It just frightened her, I imagine.

Pups were wonderful - well I believe so. I know what they are at this stage. I applaud their milestones. I laugh at their run so fast they sometimes run sideways. That will change before next visit but its a funny stage. 

Can't wait till you see them again but not looking forward to so many baths. LOL
