Rapscallions Princess Matilda o'The Emerald Isle (Tilly)
Month 5
Week 14
My little Pink-inator has left the family homestead and embarked on her life's adventure in Arlington, Virginia where she will be the center of attention and doted upon in proper Princessly fashion by her new family. Initial reports indicate she's making the transition with confidence and grace (I expected nothing less from this puppy) and she's already in the throes of subjugating everyone she meets. I will post pictures as they become available.
Week 10
At last an adorable picture of an ADORABLE and FUN little girl. Whenever I see her, I just have to sing Pink's theme song:
I'm comin' out, so you better get the party started!"
Week 8
The camera doesn't do Pink any justice -- she's just the cutest thing and I love her joie de vie. She's always on the go and ready to play, but she's equally at home on your lap and giving kisses. When I call the pups to come in, Pink is usually one of the first to comply. And when she sees me enter the room, she's always ready with a quick "yip" hello and a wag of the tail. When I pick her up, she lathers me with kisses. What more could you ask for in a puppy?
Week 6
Okay, so it's out of focus and I missed half the puppy, but this is rather indicative of her personality. She's full of life and loves to jump for joy! What a great puppy! She's one of the smallest, but she has tons of attitude and personality.
Week4
I love that little fleur de lis on Pink's head! She's another one who's made a lot of progress in the growth department this week. She had a slow start when switching to solid food, but she's made a lot of progress and is always one of the last to leave the food bar.
2 Weeks
Pink has gone from one of the smallest to almost joining the bruisers club, and the only reason she hasn't is because she's just not a big girl. Despite having the weight, I don't think she's got the heavy bone the other big puppies have. Still, she's got a lot of fight in her and could prove me wrong in the long term.
Personality-wise, she's showing a lot of interest in the outside world and is always one of the first to come running to me. Of course, I don't kid myself into taking that for affection. To her I'm just the alternate food source. When Momma's Milk Bar is full, Cindy's Bottle Feed Cafe is just across the whelping box.
This is one feisty pup! Even though she's one of the smallest right now, I've seen her systematically knock all of her larger siblings off their milk receptacles until she found the nipple of her choice. And, once latched on, don't expect to knock this one off! One day she mistakenly latched on to Bobbi's toe instead of a nipple and when Bobbi tried to shake her off, she literally lifted her leg as high as she could and stood there with Pink Girl dangling in mid air! I've even had a tough time taking the bottle out of this one's mouth once she's latched on.
