Every one of Bella's pups has either a wisp of white on their lower jaw or the white star on their chest - in Ebony's case, the chest star is also a wisp of white in a sea of black ebony...
Dulce and Ebony are now the most adventurous in the crew... They are the first ones up to the dinner plate, first ones out of the bedding area, first ones for just about everything and anything! Last week Ebony was a bit fearful and this week, she's gangbusters to see what is going on and to be the first at it with her sister, Dulce!
I have watched Dulce (with fascination) because from the very beginning, her coat was striking... The bands of brindle have changed along the way, but they have just given her more of an appeal (at least to me)... She was the biggest at the beginning, but the others have now caught up to her and about the only thing she's ahead of them is in her height (which in perspective, is not really that much different)...
Now that we have removed the opaque barriers, the pups and my crew readily look at each other through the 2 levels of gating... I felt that this would prepare these pups for seeing other dogs and gain the trust levels for good canine manners down the road... Bella watches carefully, but has relaxed her guard because she's now determined that although everyone can almost go 'nose-to-nose,' none of the adult dogs here can actually touch her puppies...
Dulce, on the other hand, would SO enjoy getting out and running around with my older adult Chihuahuas... We have a puppymill guy here that I thought would be my biggest problem, but he routinely goes and stands by the puppy Xpen, tail wagging invitingly and Dulce spots him from afar and charges to the side, stretching in the hopes she can actually touch him... It's really cute and dogs amaze me each and every day of my life!
Dulce promises to not only be a strikingly colored dog, but an outgoing one as well!
