BESS (the mamma of the puppies) Update


 No new pictures of her yet.
Being with Bess has its ups and downs, mostly ups. She is very healthy and sweet, but hasn't quite got the hang of indoor play yet. Does not chase balls, nor spend much time with her stuffed animals. She hasn't quite figured out that lying on her back facilitates tummy rubs, which she adores. But Bess is all ears for going outside and is a veritable gazelle when running and leaping. She loves chewy bully sticks and has usurped a sofa. Her fur is better and we think she knows she's got a family.She is learning, I think, to sit. She knows where she lives.
We are using treats to train her to come when called outside. Sometimes she doesn't , but always finds her way back. Since there is very little traffic where we live, and she is mostly in the arroyos, we don't fear for her well being if she's romping for a few minutes out of sight.
