First Swim!





















Grandma: Both pups are ambivalent about swimming. Ariel is a strong swimmer. Asher hits the water violently with his paws....Both are tall enough to stand up (vertically) and hold the sides of the tub so there isn't a danger of being 'out of depth'.
In any case- they survived their first swim. 9 October.

Growing Pups

The pups are growing up fast! They are now in their 13th week and they seem to be bigger than normal. When Barn2 and Clare came to us at 12 weeks, they were only three quarters the size of Asher and Ariel. Their enclosure configurations have to change from week to week to cater to their rapid growth. Their schooling included intentional exposure to new experiences daily:

1 introduced to beef soup and tiny cooked pieces of beef today. Asher loved it. Ariel was a bit cautious but consumed everything in the end.

2 They met up with their uncle Marky in a significant way this morning- BOTH were brought face to face with him (with a partition in between).

3 They now paddle (supported by my hand ie on their chests) as they float on water their small tub. (Ariel got the idea. Asher was too distracted to focus on paddling).

4 dog collar: Ariel has no problems with it nor the leash. Asher still freaks out at the sight of the collar.

5. Since they are getting bigger AND STRONGER, they have managed to do a few Mas Selamats (jailbreaks)) on me during the past few nights. New measures were found to ensure security....


BTW, I discovered three videos of them playing with their parents (22 Sept) which I had forgotton to post earlier. Am tagging it to the end of this post.
