When Jake loaded in his Dad’s truck, Anara tried to follow. When Jake realized Anara wasn’t climbing in, he tried to get back out. Jake’s dad said it was difficult for him to watch. It was. Anara came home and kept checking at the gate to see if Jake would come back. Finally she came inside, sighed and settled down to lick and soothe her pups. Motherhood isn’t always easy. By the end of the evening, Anara was prancing around, nudging her pups and playing with toys. Tomorrow, Keona comes to stay and perhaps another friendship will be formed.
This week has seen a drastic increase in the amount of milk the pups are drinking. Chatty Kathy pup is still only at one eye open. They both are a lot more mobile and alert. Hoping the other eye opens soon before I start to worry even more that something is wrong. Perhaps Chatty Kathy Pup is secretly a one eyed pirate.
Tracy came cover today to visit Anara and the pups. After feeding the babies and playing with Anara, Tracy asked to meet Athena. Athena was overjoyed to have a visitor. After spending home time loving on her, Tracy and I took Athena for a walk. She wants so badly to run and chase leaves and play but she behaved like a young lady and decided walking on a leash would be the next best option. On the entertainment list for her tonight was a hard boiled egg to roll around and play with, a frozen kong and a squeaky toy. Music by Through a Dog’s Ear. Sweet dreams!
