| Where are the pups? |
 |
| Today, Figgy is giving them their last milk meal in the large playground. Like most dogs, Figgy has given me the signal that she wants them weaned. These signals include growling at the pups when they try to nurse, refusing to be with them for more than a few seconds and regurgitating her dinner for them to eat. An 'unsavory' historic pratice. |
 |
| As the pups explore the huge playground area, anxious Figgy watches intently. |
 |
| Red Boy bravely climbs the ramp to the sandbox. |
 |
| All four explore the cedar chips and clubhouse area. |
 |
| Royal Boy appears stuck between the tire fence. |
 |
| Teal Girl gives him a look that says 'You are suppose to go THROUGH the tire holes'. |
 |
| Figgy has some sweet moments with her babies. |
 |
| Then she gives the lowdown - 'Although I will be leaving, I expect you to behave and listen to your extended family, you hear me'? |
Figgy has been a very good mom and gave me two amazing progeny to move forward with: Emmett Piccolo and Charlotte 2-Step - both exceptional breeding stock and wonderful pets to their guardians.
They all look so precious. Royal Boy is just experimenting! I'm sad I didn't get to meet Figgy. I hope she enjoyed her time with you.

Figgy is an 'only child' at her guardians and does enjoy all the dogs here as well as checking out the chickens, pigs, various critters and such. Lots of people come and go which allows for extra attention and pats. Plus, her guardians only live 10 minutes away and came often to visit Figs. :+) It is always enjoyed by all my guardian dogs.
ReplyDeleteThese are such great pictures! It's so sweet to see Figgy with the pups, and to see them enjoying the wonderful outdoor play area.
