I try to introduce several obstacles to the puppy play area each day now.
It builds confidence and adds a little variety to their life!
Also note their “play growling”. This is their way of asserting themselves within the pack. It never escalates but is awfully cute!

Buffy’s face looks just like Casper except she has some sable on her right leg.

Glenda…what a sweet face!
Glenda. Puppy Culture protocol. This is a VERY soft hold, I promise!
Agatha’s pretty markings.
Kristoff and Tiana mouthing each other while Balloo watches.
Tiana is manding!

Tiana says, “Mine!”
Good boy Eric!
Balloo (top), Olaf (1 o’clock), Tiana (4 o’clock) and Mickey.
Kristoff (upper left), Tinker Bell (top) Tiana (top right), Naveen (middle right), Olaf (middle middle), Eric (at the water bowl). Then left to right across the bottom Balloo, Moana and Mickey.
Beginners’ version of manding!
Olaf (top), Mickey, Moana and Balloo (left to right in the middle) all out of Luna and Tiana (bottom-out of Tango)
(Clockwise from the top) TinkerBell, Eric, Naveen and Kristoff all out of Tango.
Luna’s pups will be 3 weeks old Wednesday. Look how big they are already. I have moved them onto a sherpa style bedding now so that they get better purchase when they walk around. It is not good for their joints to be slipping and sliding a lot at this age. Left to right we have Mickey, Baloo, Olaf and Moana.
Just two days older we have Tango’s puppies in the video. What a difference, right?
About 20 seconds in we have Eric rolling into the water bowl, sisters TinkerBell and Tiana are having a serious “conversation”. Kristoff (mostly white) and Naveen are in the upper right.
Enjoy!!
This is Kristoff. You can see his eyes are beginning to open. Born fourht, he is all white but has a significant amount of pale red emerging. He weighs 380 grams.
This is TinkerBell. She was born first and is a little spitfire! She is mostly red with white on her paws and a little white blaze on her face. She weighs 399 grams.
Tango’s puppies, top to bottom…Tiana,Olaf,TinkerBell,Kristoff and Eric. I love their plump little bellies. Tango is a great Mom.
I am calling this little girl Tiana. Again she is mostly red with more white on her face and paws than TinkerBell. She also has a bit of a black mask. Tiana was born second and, at 414 grams, is currently the biggest pup. That is likely to change.
This is Eric, our little red boy. He has beautiful black markings on his face and tail as well as a nice white blaze and white on his paws. He weighs 398 grams and was third born.
Last but certainly not least is Naveen from the Disney movie Princess and the Pea. He is a beautiful red parti with some black on his face. (Nice for concealing tear stains!) He has a lot of white on his legs and a beautiful white blaze. Naveen weighs 380 grams and was the fourth born.
Back to Eric just to show you how his little peepers are beginning to open as well. Won’t be long now before a whole new world opens to them!
Tango’s puppies are two weeks old today! Since besides its beautiful beaches Florida is known for Disney World, I decided on Disney characters for their names.
Enjoy!
