“Walking Tall”
Realizing
her mother had just left the room, she saw her chance. She tiptoed over to the
slat wall - her only barrier to the outside world. Standing upright and surprisingly
tall, she began her ascent. It was proving to be more difficult than
anticipated, but she was determined. Just a few more inches. But before her
escape was realized, Miss Chardonnay was apprehended. Increased security
measures were promptly implemented and another slat was added to the gate.
The
puppies have all managed to hone their motor skills as they stagger around in their
little den. They are interacting with each other as well as their stuffed
animal roommates; playing, snuggling and nibbling. The little ones coo with
delight as we pick them up and cuddle them. And picking them up is becoming a
workout in itself as the puppies are growing in leaps and bounds. That also
means they need their nails clipped every few days, but fortunately mom is
looking after the rest of their grooming needs for now.
The
gang is now set up in our living room with their whelping box beside Mango’s
litter. Ever the caring mom, Bailey even looks in on Mango’s crew on her way
past and is still occasionally helping out with nursing duties. Since they’re next-door
neighbours, the two litters have united for some sleep-overs during nap time
and have become fast friends in a world where no discrimination exists.
One
might have thought that Bailey was nicely settled in her new environment, but
alas, she is still on a mission to locate a new home for her little pack, often
returning from an expedition with feet as black as coal. In a bid to enhance
her off-duty relaxation experience, Bailey has established a new ritual. During
the day, she can be found napping with her entire head neatly tucked under the
skirt of an armchair thereby achieving total darkness and a blissful,
well-deserved rest. Whoever said that motherhood was easy?
That’s it for now, but be sure to join us next
week for another nail-biting installment of “Puppy Tales”.
