Thirteen Weeks and Going Strong

Today marks our first month with the girls. It's been alot of work but very rewarding at the same time. Abbie and Ziva are a joy to be around and are quick learners. Walks continue to be a challenge at times due to the girls preoccupation with their new surroundings. We found that a huge incentive for the come command is BB size pieces of balled up cheese. The girls are very responsive to us when we offer this special reward. House training is going very well. The girls are alerting us to the patio door when they want out. They are looking less and less like puppies and are growing rapidly. At first we were easily able to tell them apart but Ziva has been growing and now from a distance we sometimes get confused. Both have their own quirks as Ziva usually barks at her water dish before taking a drink and Abbie barks then turns her food dish over before eating. We usually monitor during mealtime as Abbie continues to try and dominate the food supply. We've been socializing the girls as much as possible and they are doing well with the neighborhood dogs. A few favorites of the babies at thirteen weeks.
