Puppies are Settling In

Saturday night Koyuk sorely missed her litter mates making quality sleep - hers and mine - nearly impossible. Life is now improving for both of us. By eliminating her water after her dinner, her pea-size bladder is not filling as frequently. Even though she is in the same puppy condo with the designated paper lined potty side, she insists on going outside - what a smart girl!
Last night, Koyuk even got an hour more sleep than I did. Unfortunately, when I let her out at 0400 there was a small herd of deer in the backyard. Cedar apparently knew they were there and bolted out the door with us. While Koyuk dreamed away, I stayed up until 0530 to let Cedar back in.

Yesterday Koyuk went to Cedar's agility class with her. She got to meet all 8 of the other dogs in the class; be held by all of Cedar's "aunties"; and lick the nostrils of the horses at the arena.

The puppies are settling in. A couple of my favorite remarks have been: "I learned to never give a clicker to a six year old." and: "She's (Willow) been going up/down the steps today by herself and she got over her fear of the kitchen floor (helped by Cora toddling around with the treat bag and dropping kibble everywhere).
Takotna is now Mulu. She is living in BC, Canada

Can't get any cuter than this:
