5/25/2018 0 Comments First Baths, Blow Outs, and ToyWhile the puppies have had 3 sponge(wash cloth) baths already, today the puppies had their first baths and hand held blow dries.
Part of the bath process was to relocate them until it was their turn. Brown particolor, black tricolor, and black male did not like that at all. They sang and sang. For the record these three usually are the ones singing, with the black male regularly enough to be noticed but not often(every few days), the black tri routinely(~2 times a day), and the brown part in between them. Black white nose doesn't make noise. Buff sings when being held. Black white face makes smaller sounds for mom when she comes by or when she gets out of the den then is left alone(which has been about every other day.) During their separate baths,... Black white face was tolerant. Fell asleep after and stayed asleep. Brown parti didn't like the blow drying part. Black tricolor grumbled complaints the entire time. These three did not have any automatic response to being partially submerged other than holding their head up. Black white nose was fine, then wanted to play with the towel during drying. Her automatic response of swimming movements was very brief but present. Black male grumbled complaints a bit less. His automatic response of swimming movements kicked in almost immediately. Buff was half asleep. (Did not test auto response.) Puppies are playing longer than just seconds now, it lasts a few minutes at a time. Canine teeth are no longer little bumps but rather sharp, well erupted points, so it was time to introduce a toy. It's a rope tug with a rubber plastic case around the middle. All of the puppies were teased with the fluffy rope end and smelled it or mouthed it.
