Tootsie

7 Weeks Old

Tootsie is a black tri female. She is confident and outgoing, adapts to new situations easily, and loves to be held. Around this time all ten puppies made a road trip to Washington (just over the border near Portland-Vancouver) for a structural evaluation by Pat Hastings of the Puppy Puzzle — 500 miles and 8 hours of driving each way — and they were awesome travellers.

Almost 6 Weeks Old

The puppies are now living in the shop with a 10′ × 20′ indoor kennel and a doggie door out to a large fenced yard. They are eating kibble, drinking from a water bowl, and spending less and less time with Mom. Already they have learned to go outside to potty about 90% of the time, and they have been introduced to several of the adult dogs — learning doggie etiquette and to respect their elders!
