Believe me when I say the lack of updates is due to just how much is going on. We have a lot going on today, but I have a few minutes to fill you in on as much as I can.
ZIVA
As of this week she is officially at play care with the others. Since bringing her home we've brought her up there a few times to get used to the gals who work there. They've watched her twice when we needed & allowed her to become acclimated to the surroundings.
The thing is, she is such a chill pup--it doesn't phase her. SO after receiving her final shots on Tuesday, we took her to daycare for her "trial" so to speak. That was an hour and half of getting to go into the play area & sniff/meet the others.
Wednesday we introduced her to the farm. I had discovered last week that water does not phase her (the hose) so of course she had no fear with the pond. Glad we bought her a life vest because she has one awkward doggy paddle.
Thursday she did a half day at day care. When I brought her home, she passed out most of the day. Friday-yesterday- she ended up doing almost a full day. Girl did not sleep until bedtime. So today since it's open, she's spending the whole day with her siblings.
From the reports of the gals that work there, she's having a blast. She loves meeting new people & dogs so this is perfect for her. She gets to run around & play & have a good time.
Siblings..... Lada has attempted to play with her a few times. I actually recorded one such time, but other than that--not really much. I'm hoping Lada will play more with her now that she goes to daycare. That happened with her & Volos so we shall see if it happens with Z.
Volos & Z. Pretty much the same. They're side by side a lot (Ziva's doing). He tolerates her taking stuff from him & being around him. I think he grudgingly likes her. As I have said before--she ADORES him.
She also tries to play with Lada --but as I said above--the reciprocal is not so often.
She is HUGE. She towers over Lada. She's about to surpass Peryn. AND ...to top it off, if you're not paying good attention you can mix Volos & her up.
She is 36.5# as of Tuesday. She's still a beauty. She really has made dealing with a puppy very easy. She has such a laid back personality, doesn't let much bother her. She loves people. She loves dogs. She likes water. She is still teething, so that is the worst part. She allows you to just pull her to you and cuddle. She really is a joy. I love this girl with all my heart.
Daycare, particularly Jen, has taken some BEAUTIFul pics of my girl & even got a full COUCH CREW initiation pic. I'm going to work on the photos & adding them to this in a few. Keeping my eye on the clock & listening for Rich ....
The others are doing well. Volos has become even more of a cuddle bear. His favorite thing to do first thing in the mornings is jump up on the couch & cuddle with me. i love him so much. Ziva has definitely brought out an even cuddlier side to him.
Peryn--- Peryn is still a jerk., an AH, & just a plain ole PITA. seriously he lives to annoy. HOWEVER... I think I have caught him "taunting" Ziva a few times with a toy. Volos was nearby so I don't know if she was just in proximity or if he really is trying to get her to play.
Volos & Peryn got into it over a toy. Peryn taunted, Volos responded. The two of them went at it with the object, an alligator, in their mouths while they wrestled hard for it. It gets tiring (& messy)l.. Their personalities are in direct opposition. Luckily (if you want to say that) they only fight over toys.
