Puzzle is growing up! She is no longer the cute cuddly puppy that she once was but is now turning into a busy active dog. She has lost all of her baby teeth on one side of her mouth and the other side they are loose.
Puzzle is one of the best puppies I have ever had the privilege to raise. She is an awesome alerter and a joy to be around. She is starting to hit what I call the terrible 2’s in dog terms but even this phase is MILD compared to what I have seen from others I have raised. She is just a very sensitive and loving dog that wants so badly to please. She is young but the pieces are all there!
She does well with scent games and does even better with real time scent. I have had a horrible sinus infection. With diabetes when you are ill your BG often runs higher. On Sunday no matter what I did I could not get my BG below 200. With 4 alert dogs in the house it was getting annoying with all the alerting, so I put every one but Bravo in their port-a-kennel. I am laying in my recliner when I hear whining from my bedroom. I go in and Freedom, Radar, and Puzzle are all 3 whining and moaning in the kennels. Pretty soon I could only hear one dog whining…the whining gets loader and almost sounds like a moan. It continues to get loader when all the sudden it turns into howling. Not howling like a bored dog in a back yard. I go back into the bedroom and here is Puzzle with both paws half way up the kennel door, while laying down. As I bent down to see what the problem was she throws her head back and lets loose with this howl, moan, groan, yawn combo. Since this was a sound I had not heard before I opened her kennel door and she jets out and sits right at my feet and STARES up at me. She then paws at my leg. I reach down pet her and tell her thank you. I then put her back in her kennel. About a half hour goes by……..when she starts doing it again. I have got to get a video of this….it is a sound that I have never heard a dog make before. Cheveyo (her dad) has a sound that is unusual as well but this was even different that that. It was almost like she was in pain because I was sick.
Anyhow I am really digging this pup. She is now ready to start doing some more rigorous obedience and public access stuff. I have raised a lot of puppies in the last 15 years…but this one is trying really hard to crawl into my heart! She is a very special dog who I know is going to be for a very special person!
How can you not love this face!!!!!!!!!!!!
