Siesta

Leti is taking a siesta today. She's been playing up a storm but I have dogs top wash for the show tomorrow. No time to click and update.

She also ate a greenie and oh boy I have some work to clean her beard up but oh she loved it!

Plowed Over

What happens when you get in the way of huge enthusiasm with Brewer and Cali? You get plowed over.

Poor Leti just dusted herself off and kept on going. She is a trooper, I tell you!

Got My Comfort

Leti has her comfort and she is busy saying, I am the 'winner' don't you know it? When they tell her no she isn't she says, yes I am. Oh my...

She also loves to aggravate Kat. As we are in a heat stage with Roxie he is focused on Roxie and Leti says play wth me, me, me - didn't you hear me, ME! He tells her no under his breath and she keeps at it to the point where we have to educate her. Listen to what others are telling you. They are not interested in playing with you everytime you want to play. Move on and find someone that wants to instead of just going after those that aren't interested. But she isn't getting it yet. I think she enjoys aggravating him. Wasabi likes to do that to Kat too even to this day.

She is a baby and the world is her oyster or so she thinks. hahahaha

Personally, I love the attitude!

Oh Leti, Oh My

She's an independent soul. She is not a submissive. She thinks nothing about winning with a larger dog. Who cares what size you are the toy is all mine! Oh that ice cube, it's mine you know.

Can't wait till classes with you little one. Oh and she LOVES liver as she had some today when I cooked some up for Abigail. Yum!!

But she was missing Cali today when she was out. How interesting.

Engaging in Play

Leti has learned the fine art of engaging in play. Here she is asking Adele to play with her.

So did they end up playing with each other? They do every chance they can get. Leti will be getting her 2nd set of shots and then she will start classes. I get to watch Nathan with Leti and click photos vs. doing one each.

I have a feeling Leti will be great in classes!

Leti Lessons

Risa rather likes Leti as Leti has learned to give Risa respect and not just pounce on her.

Leti and Cali are fast becoming best of friends.

She also doesn't take any grief from the bigger dogs. But she is also an independent soul in many ways. It is interesting to watch her personality unfold. Training begins soon after her next set of shots.

Dry One

Now look who is dry and who is wet. I think Leti is a princess in the making. No wet feet for her. I will use the pad, thank you very much!

She's also getting a round tummy on her and she hasn't been trained yet. We start training her to stack and all that fun stuff starting tomorrow. We wanted her to get acquainted before she had the fun of working it for treats.

I Met the Cooper

So, he's bigger than me - so what and guess what - I rather like him. Leti is chewing up a storm. It's that teething phase. It is toys like this that she CAN chew vs. the other stuff. So, she has plenty of THOSE!

Let's Checkup

She had her checkup today and goes back again on the 9th for her 2nd set of shots. She is in good health and is 3lbs 10 oz. She remains a little pistol who now has found phone wires - yank those portables off of whatever. We are busy finding solutions. :-) She is also teething in a big way.

Oh That Snow Brrr

I am not sure how much Leti weighs. She goes to the vet this Wednesday but if she is 3lbs, I woudl be shocked. So, it makes sense that with the lack of body weight she can't sustain long periods of time outside so its a quick out and back in for her but still each time she seems to go a tad longer so she is getting used to it.

She is still doing well. She is playing up a storm. She was happy to see Brewer. Now that he is coming every day she is going to be so delighted.
