Nellie has gone home to her guardians and the pups have not missed a beat. They play hard, investigate the play area at will and sleep well.
They all know how to negotiate the dogie door now so they go in and out at will. When I leave the house to do errands, I put them in an outside pen for safety. Sometimes, I keep them in the pup room if the sun has not reached the windows yet.
Often, I take turns putting one of them on the grooming table to brush, check ears, hold feet and open mouths to get them use to this process and to calm their fear of being off the floor. Repetition is key to them becoming comfortable in an otherwise stressful situation.
Daisy continues to be their role model now that mom is gone. She is a very tolerant nanny. I actually saw Molly flip on her back this morning with four feet in the air showing respect to Daisy as she cleaned up their bowl from breakfast. They learn lessons so quickly. :+)
