4 Months old and teething again!

Vie, the vampiress. Just when we were making progress on the chewing and biting thing, now its back! Poor puppy is losing her milk teeth and just under the inflamed gums are the adult teeth and some new molars too.

Grizzle around eyes and ears

Big girl collar now -- note the grizzle on the legs.

Puppy coat is coming out with every combing now.

Replacing it from underneath is a shinier, silkier grizzled coat. About 1 inch of it already!

Vie now lies quietly on the bench to be combed and to have her nails clipped. 

She gets a lot of treats there so she looks forward to it.

Almost 4 weeks old.....

Congratulations to Lexie

Week 12-14

Week 12 Sprouting like weeds!

Killer Vie!

Attacking  those Crocs, socks and boots.

Sprouting like a weed, legs now long, muzzle elongated. 

Learning "sit", "down", "here", "outside", "relax" (for grooming and exams), "crate",

"collar" (approach to have a leash put on). 

When she is not outside playing, or taking a nap in her crate ("Solo" time), 

she is tied to my waist in the kitchen or at my desk, in the garden or whatever. 

Why? 

(1) This is part of our bonding time to me and 

(2) when she signals that she needs to go out by tugging on the line I can put her out in a heartbeat,

(3) she is learning "with me".
