As Four Weeks Passes

It has been a busy week as we had attended two shows with the other dogs this week.  Lyric has been well cared for in the company of Sean and Christopher, who are such a great help if we go off somewhere.

Weaning had been delayed as we felt she just needed more time, Trio has been fantastic producing lots of milk, but not so much to risk having mastitis which had been an early concern of ours.  Lyric has alternated between all of the teats, so not leaving any one full of milk to fester. So with her doing so well we decided to pick up some puppy food at one of the shows we were attending - well our choice of supplier wasn't at either show sadly so it was ordered online and some picked up at our local pet shop to tide us over.

As you can see from the pictures Lyric knew exactly what to do and tucked straight in, she isn't eating much at the moment but she has enough and she'll gradually increase the amounts herself.

Lyric has also had visitors this week, and has enjoyed cuddles with our good friend Jan, and my parents.  Trio kept a watchful eye on them, but Lyric really enjoyed all of the additional fuss.

She has received more gifts and loves them all.  She tried on her new collar and thinks that purple was such a good choice of colour.  She needs to get a bit bigger to hold on to the gorilla toy, her mouth isn't quite big enough yet to hold it but Trio has been showing her how to get it call!

She even spent an hour outside on Thursday - she was not impressed and protested quite loudly!  As it was such a lovely day we decided to strip out the box and give it a good clean and that the fresh air and change of surroundings would be a benefit for her.  Trio has to go into the pen to settle her, as she was so cross about being in there whilst the others could come and go as they pleased!  

First retrieve!

She is starting to play now, and it's a delight to see Trio gently playing with her.  She picked up the little dragon yesterday, it doesn't seem long ago that she was about the same size!
