Pippin 'quacks' me up
4 Attachment(s) It's been two weeks since Pippin joined the family! She's curious...She's reckless...She's fearless...I'm exhausted! :rolleyes:
Her little voice sounds like a baby duck so she 'quacks' instead of barking. What she thinks of as her growls now sound a lot like a tiny ewok. :p Since she loves to 'talk', I'm always entertained by the sounds she comes up with. :D She loves to give orders to me and the other pups, and isn't afraid to say when she wants something.
She's now 12 1/2 weeks and a weighs a little less than 1 1/2 pounds, although she's gained several ounces. :thumbup: She eats all the time and there's been no hypoglycemia scares. I've quit giving her Nutrical completely.
Pippin switched her food to Acana all on her own! She tried a piece of Acana a couple of days after she first arrived but she couldn't chew it - I free feed my others so the Acana is always out and available to them. A couple of days later she tried another piece and crunched it up like a big girl (it took her a couple of minutes, but she did it). :) After that, she wouldn't have anything to do with the Puppy Chow. I wasn't even going to try switching her for a long while because I didn't want to upset her system, but she had no problems with the transition thank God.
She wants to play with the others so badly, but I think she was taken from her litter so young that she doesn't know how. She's learning fast though, and will soon be terrorizing us all. :D
Here's a few pictures from the last few days with Pippin. :) Attachment 323588 A little quiet time... Attachment 323591 She loves to sleep on her back and I love to look at her tummy! Attachment 323589 Ready to play? Attachment 323590 You taste good, mommy. |
