We are not sure what this means but today Whitney, our old lady rescue has taken the time to just be with Sassy. It's the very first time she's gone into the x-pen and just slept near her. Whitney is 12+ years - a tad obsessive at times and had lots of babies and almost died from that experience, I am told.

We managed to get 98% of her quirks and behavior issues turned around but last litter we had Whitney just watched but didn't interact that much. This litter was relentless. They jumped in her bed, climbed on her and gave her kisses all the time. Sassy was always one of the first. She would touch noses, allow them to crawl all over her. Sassy was a bit lost today and Whitney took over.

She had her in her bed with her and then she is now sleeping in the x-pen with her. It's precious. It tells me, puppies can often bring that extra something out of a dog who has had a tough life. We have had Whitney for 6 years and wanted the time with us to be what great memories are derived from and here she is creating more memories for us. It's obvious she loves the puppies and it's nice that this old gal just did what came natural.

Now to see how Sassy does in bed. Reports tomorrow....

PS: We heard Sebastian did great on his walk. Sassy says - hey you beat me to the lead - heh!
