Week
Three: Thinking Outside the Box
Coming
out in every way: out of the box, out of babyhood. Personalities are emerging
and with them, a tentative pack hierarchy.
First
out of the box were Fawn and Jewel (the two livernosed girls). Here is Jewel
on one of her many forays into the wide world of the bedroom.
Billy
is quite content to stay in the box this week. So far, he has been an easygoing
presence in the litter.
Achilles
was the firstborn and the largest. We thought he might be alpha, but he is
developing a thoughtful, gentle livernose personality.
Billy
and spunky runt Ember face off in a yodelling context. Dixie (top right) is
wisely staying out of this one -- she already knows she will never be alpha.
Homer
is a big pup and already likes to run things. But at heart he is mama's little
boy.
Livers
often have a glowing color. This is Jewel, who looks very much like her brother
Achilles.
First
meal -- raw meat, cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, vitamins and Prozyme. I should
eat this well.
