First Snow

Other than getting snowballs on her after jumping in and out of snow drifts, she enjoyed it but not like the adults.

Already it Begins

Nathan is already trying to work his magic to make her all his. hahahahaha

Motherhood

I already think I am one of the bigger guys but every now and then I enjoy the younger set and I get to go play inside the xpen.

Momma Roxie figures I am staying around. This is something new as this didn't happen before. She cleans me up, teaches me and she protects me if she thinks I need that.

Meet Up

Hi again,

Here's Holly meeting my brother for the first time. She couldn't get enough of him!

Caroline

Teddy and Corky

Teddy is progressing rapidly and has really bonded to corky especially when corky goes outside Teddy has to go with him they trail around the yard together. Whenever corky runs Teddy is with him inside or out He knows his name and always comes when called His eating has stepped up yesterday he ate all three servings down to the last kibble that's 3/4 cup a day Joe

Just Some Play

Okay, Ella you are bigger. Play gentle - will you?

She has no issue getting her feet black and hanging outside.

Now you are not on top.

Life is a learning process every single day. Ella is doing well. More than not she is outside of teh xpen hanging out with the rest. She also sleeps cheek to cheek with Nathan.

PS: Roxie believes she is staying. She has now resumed cleaning and mentoring practices.

Vet Visit

Ella had her vet visit and she is 4lb 12 oz. She was great with the pups and rode with them quietly all the way there and back. Now she is cuddling with them.

Ella is really coming into herself. She is now playing with the older dogs and truly making an even stronger bond with Roxie. It is nice to see. I do believe Roxie thinks she is staying.

Ella also loves sleeping cheek to cheek with Nathan. It's adorable and it really is special to him.

Her Daddy calls her Ella Fitzgerald. Lady Ella - Queen of Jazz!

Ella Had a Bath

I have to teach Nathan how to hold them for photos. She looks rather strung up here.Ella had a bath and she had a few tangles on her bum so when I gently pulled them apart she let me know she wasn't fond of me messing around there. Oh she didn't bark or growl - just turn her bum around so I couldn't get to it. That's a protest too but it had to be done. I sprayed grooming spray and pulled it apart, brushed and then used a comb.

So far today Ella has been less physical with the Panda crew. She will sleep with us tonight as its hard to take her to bed then say not tonight little one. She slept until Jesse started wanting to be up and then we settled them back down. So interrupted sleep but better than no sleep.

Tomorrow we weigh her at the vets and she gets her next set of shots. I will post her weight tomorrow night after the vets. Let me know what your pups are. Soon she will be in class. I have to start playing retreive with her daily just because I enjoy a dog that retreives properly.

Interactions

Ella was saying hello to grannie Risa. They actually touched noses. It was ever so cute and played for a bit. Tomorrow Ella gets her bath. She rather needs it. On Friday she heads in with the Panda pups to get her vaccination.

She is hanging out with the Panda pups and sleeping with them at night but during the day she heads out with the bigger guys till she needs to rest. If she is in your lap she climbs up on the pillow on our end table without fear. She likes sleeping on high.

Tomorrow her nails and pads will get done. I do believe she is adjusting to not having the siblings but I suspect when we can set up a playdate she will be so excited. Roxie is extra attentive with her but Leti is smitten. You see Leti misses playing certain kind of games with Cali and now she is attempting to do the same with Ella. How interesting. Leti, she's not big enough yet but soon....

Photos in New Homes

Here's some photso we have received.

Everyone seems to be doing really well.

Ella is missing her litter mates but she did sleep with Panda's pups last night. She is also napping with them as we speak. She gets extra outside with the big guys moments or TV time but she is adjusting. I think Roxie is waiting to see if she goes too. I wonder when it will click in for her that she remains. Perhaps when she starts coming to bed with us. For now we saw more benefit to stay with the Panda pups for them and for her. Perhaps by weekend she will be in bed with us. We want her to click with the younger set as it will help her to appreciate size differences.
