That would be Comet, the occasional blob, showing a classic "c" shape. Since he was the only one unaccounted for, that was my next guess. Having a puppy that can pinch hit as an ottoman isn't a BAD thing.... Tara |

Well, Montana, it was nice knowing you while you were still alive! Paula |

Well, Montana, it was nice knowing you while you were still alive! It gets worse; he has been singled out by his mother as an obvious bad seed. His head spends a lot of time in her mouth. He plays... bitey face... with his MOTHER! And bitey ears and bitey collar and bitey tags. She plays bitey leg and bitey head and bitey neck and bitey face back. Both of the boys play bitey face with mom. And Dancer climbed on top of the big box repeatedly! Comet and Bear nearly made it (most likely will succeed tomorrow) but Dancer climbed on _and_ off. Well they darned well should be entertaining you constantly to pay you back for all you've done for them! Sammie plays bitey face with Molly the same way. He does a lion tamer act thing where he sticks his whole head in her mouth and she just goes along with it. Then she'll whap him with her muzzle and he'll bite her flank and growl and it goes from there. We should have named him Napoleon. Paula |

It started when she was moving the pups around to clean them, but it's branched off into a sport disconnected from cleaning. Sammie sounds like a pip! I had sworn off puppies long ago but when Sammie came along, there was a lot of pressure to take him in. I would not even let the girls meet him because I knew what their vote would be if they saw him. Fortunately, I had taken that summer we got him off work anyway because I was burning out and needed a break, so I had the time to devote to him. My response to his puppy antics is that it's a good thing he is so cute because otherwise I'd have to throw him away! But lately he is being a pretty good dog. He will be 2 in April. We even have a family saying because of Sammie the little pistol. Whenever one of my kids or one of their friends is getting kind of snotty or otherwise needs to be reminded to take it down a notch or they are going to end up in trouble, I tell them, "You're a bad bad poodle!" The unspoken ending is, "Am I going to have to throw you away after all?" And when my daughter whines about anything she doesn't like in our household, I whine back in an exaggerated whiny voice, "Well, your dog keeps licking me!" And when he is right there with the big dogs barking at new people coming to the door, we tell them, "Don't mind him. He thinks he's a German Shepherd." He's not lacking in personality or entertainment value, that's for sure! Paula |

The unspoken ending is, "Am I going to have to throw you away after all?" This is a classic. I was looking after some friends' kids and they were very busy and studied all the time and never had any time to talk with me. One evening, I found a wood yardstick and called the "children"(they were 11-13) downstairs for a "ritual beating." We went through the round of, "why do I need a beating?" "It's a ritual beating and I don't need a reason for it." There was more discussion, we had snacks and did the Limbo under the ritual beating stick. This happened every night I was there. Ritualizing behavior makes children happy! I tell my kids to come here because I need to spank them. They used to ask why but now they know the answer. I asked them why on earth I would have gone to all the trouble to have them and continue to go through the trouble of raising them if not to have someone to spank? I also make them suck up to me when they ask for something. I will tell them I am thinking about it and it is a cue to start hugging and kissing on me and then ask if I have finished thinking and decided. I'll usually say I've almost decided and get one more round before I give in. If it's something that I'm not going to say yes to no matter what, I don't tell them I am thinking about it so they never suck up for no reason. They really do like to have rituals. They like the bonding of in-jokes and the security of rituals. And they like the fact that I would find a funny and fun way of dealing of the frustration of puppy behavior I didn't catch in the act to correct and then turn it on them instead of just yelling at them to knock it off. Sammie still wags his tail when I tell him he's a bad bad poodle. That's not his correction phrase. It's my letting off steam for finding the results of his puppyhood and realizing I got myself into this phrase. And now it's my friendly warning to the kids phrase. I'm weird, but my kids don't know any better so they still love me. Paula |

Puppies - Day 29
I'm back at the computer after 3 weeks in Calgary. I couldn't wait to
check in to see pix of pups with temporary collars made from my very own fabric stash. That's very, very, cool. Thanks. --Lia |
