Puppy Snuggles

I am bringing up this photo from quite sometime ago. These are Wasabi's pups. Other than it is cold in the environment, I was looking past notes I make and noticing just how striking her pups look in snow.

It's easier when it is not snowing as pups can only go out for short spurts when old enough when it is cold but there is nothing like pups jumping in and out of snow.

Pups born in winter look for a patch of snow to go on and are confused as to where that white stuff went when spring melt comes. They make the transition just fine but you do notice the confusion.

Pups born in warmer times look for that grass and aren't too sure about this white stuff where some just think it's the best thing ever.

Personally, I hate shovelling but a white draping of snow is quite pleasing with black and white pups scrambling through the drifts.

That's my memory moment.... sorry... but we are doing well. I have Abigail left to groom and Wasabi is stylin.

Moms are now relaxed enough to feed and come out of the whelping box and peer in allowing them to stay cool but be attentive. First time mothers rarely leave even though they are just there. Relaxed is a 'good' thing.
