Though
it was time for an update on the puppies progress.
They are completely at home now and play together
beautifully. We thought at first that Daisy (Honi)
would be the dominant one, but as time passes we realize
that they are very evenly matched, Daisy thinks she
is in charge mostly because Huckleberry is too lazy
to bother, but if it is important to him like the
position on a lap then he makes sure he gets what
he wants in his own quiet way and Daisy usually ends
up looking a bit surprised and wondering how did that
happen. Daisy is the one who has changed the most
from being quite timid and fearful when she first
got home and a bit aggressive at times, she has turned
into a very loving very happy little girl, who cuddles
in her own way. She terrifies us at times the way
she leaps literally from the door to the lap in a
single bound, she is truly amazing.
She still has her moments, my Daughter brought her
service animal home last weekend for the first time
since they arrived. This is a big baby very well trained
but also very playful when her service jacket is removed,
She was terrified of Daisy, who let her know in no
uncertain terms that this was Daisy's turf and she
better learn her place. Huck of course just wanted
to play. Within a short time they were having fun,
we watch very carefully as Psyche is 50 lbs. and although
she is gentle she could hurt one of them by accident,
but she was so very careful with them it was as if
she knew she had to be gentle. They did play chasing
in the back yard, mostly Daisy and Huckleberry barking
and Psyche running and they would chase her for a
few minutes and then off they would go to lay down
the law again. Huckleberry loves to chase anything
that moves, moths at night, birds and any other bug
that flies he never catches them but he has a ball.
Daisy is learning to play, in fact this past week
she has had great fun with the toys, loves to make
them squeak and to fetch when we throw them for her.
Any way as you have probably gathered we are very
happy with both of them. Daisy, she is so full of
spunk and even when she is nervous she is so brave
and adventurous, Huckleberry is by far the laziest
dog I have ever known, he would lay on anyone's lap
all day and night if you let him.
They are both eating well and are healthy, they had
their first grooming a few weeks ago (we had a mobile
groomer come to the house) she said they were both
wonderful although Huck did not like getting his nails
trimmed. |
