Eight Week Stacks


It is obvious that we need to practice stacking puppies more often...

Boy One is a cutie pie, as are they all, of course.   He is alternately shy and pushy, depending on the hour of the day.

Baby Girl is infatuated with Dora, her half-sister from Sally's previous litter.  She follows Dora around like a... puppy.

I usually think of Baby Girl and Boy Three as "twins" because they are similar in both head markings and behavior.  He learned to climb out of the ex-pen shortly after his sister and, like her, comes running for you to tell him how clever he is.

 One day I went out to collect puppies.  There should have been five, but I could only find four.  I looked and looked, until finally I found Boy Four playing by himself on the far side of the yard.  He was content to be alone and someone miffed that I insisted on taking him inside.

  Boy Six is always ready for some attention, whether from the humans or the other dogs.  He is quiet but not a loner.  He usually stacks more nicely than this, but they were all tired, hot, and as cranky as an IRWS puppy can be.
