What changes can come in a week!
6 little walking, eating, teething, howling, barking little pups have developed. Exploring and testing everything, they are playing with toys, walking around trying 'adult food', responding when called, they are still so little, and a bit fluffier than their Mum Henny Penny, each are developing different personalities and growing at various rates. Names have been picked, this week is the trial run of their names and in the coming week I will put them up, I hope you like them as much as we do. All are still so cute, and if you let their cuteness fool you, they are not so innocent any more, they like biting fingers and toes. |
Minty was pure white when born, slowly she has developed pigmentation her nose, and her coat has changed into light caramel markings on her face, and big circles of it on her back. Her ears now stand on end and is just divine.
Minty loves her food, enjoys a good rumble with her siblings and is a confident little girl. |
Little Daisy, she is so stumpy and short compared to her siblings, she is wide, but her legs are short and sturdy, her ears are so expressive, if she gets scared or cranky, she pulls them straight back and trots off with a strut.
Daisy loves people and loves cuddling. Daisy looks a bit different than her siblings, not only her colouring, but she was born with wrinkles on her nose, I have been waiting her her nose to pop out and start getting longer, it has slightly, but she still has those wrinkles. |
Sophie was the runt when born, she was strong though and after the first week she really came into her own, as determined as her siblings and her little stature did not stop her getting her share of milk.
This girl is now hilarous, as big as some of her siblings and rumbles with the best of them. She is just divine. |
Badger is now looking for his forever home.
Badger has long ballerina legs and a foxy face like his Mum. He is very inquisitive and loves to play and rumble with his siblings. Badger seems like a perfectionist, he really wants to learn and will quietly sit behind his brother and sisters and is content there, not competing for attention. He prefers to watch and take it all in. Badger is going to be an active intelligent boy who will be keen to learn. We're not sure what his ears are doing. |
Barnaby, or as I have nicknamed him 'Barnaby the Explorer', loves to go and investigate everything and is always the last one to come when called and has the shortest attention span. Everything in the world needs checking out!
He is active like his brother and sister's. Unlike tall elegant Mum, Barnaby has short legs with a longer body. Barnaby is a bit of a free spirit and lead training is not his favourite activity, but he has picked it up, and will sit for a while until he sees something he must investigate He and his sister Cheeky get on really well and seem to complement each other. |
Long legs and finer frame, she is a bit like her Mum. She will be a sweet elegant Audrey Hepburn girl.
She is so soft and gentle, but then has a playful side. I think Sophie would have to be the softest of all the pups, she has the sweetest nature, and as much as she puppy plays, she is just gentle and loving. Needing kisses and cuddles. She loves to please people so will be easy to train and would enjoy a home where she can just be adored and follow her human around. |
Cheeky is another Audrey Hepburn. So delightfully dainty and sweet.
Cheeky can be reserved at first, and watches the room before deciding what to do. (Or pondering a plan of attack when it comes to rumble time.) After that she is off and ready to play, she is fairly gentle when she plays and gets pushed out of the way when playing with Minty. Actually they all get pushed out of the way when playing with fat little Minty! Cheeky is so soft you can't help but scoop her up and cradle her puppy cuteness in your arms. |
Daisy is such a darling girl. Almost the odd one out. Small, short and wide. Maybe Penny found her in the cabbage patch.
Her little forehead has always had wrinkles. Curiosity brings her ears forwards and her little wrinkles scrunch up .... she looks like she is thinking hard. Her small stature do not hold her back, she loves playing and running amok. It's just a funny style of running, like the little kid at school trying to keep up with her mates. Once Daisy as finished playing, she loves curling up like a doggy donut with another dog on the lounge and having a rest. Watching her run in her sleep is hilarious. Daisy has mastered sitting, is being taken out and finding out about the big wide world, and learning about car rides and harnesses. |
