NOW I remember


Yes, how could I forget? Punky goes crazy when pups are around. Once I thought maybe she just needed to actually see the pups in the flesh. That drove her even more crazy. I very cautiously started to show her a puppy. Let's just say that it's not a good idea to let her in reaching distance of a puppy. She will be totally fixated on the puppies. She will stand outside the door, if she can get to it, and whine. She will whine anywhere else in the house or the yard, too.

What's interesting to me is how I came to remember how Punky is when there puppies in the house. For one thing, she discovered the whelping box where Gracie has started eating her breakfast. She walked the perimeter, or as much of it as she could, and indicated she knew exactly what that is all about. The second thing is that when I was showing someone a video of a different litter of pups - they were probably three months old so there was lots of movement - and Punky started whining and just about ripped the skin off my leg trying to get to the monitor. That was bad enough. Now what she does is beg (by whining) to see the video over and over again. I didn't know what she wanted at first. When I picked her up and she stared at the screen I did get the idea. I'd show you some pictures but I can't figure out how to get them in the body of the text instead of at the top. Next time.
