This morning we went to the pet shop where they have scales and weighed Saffy and Ruby. Saffy is 5.3kg. She is 53 days old today. Ruby was weighed at 53 days old and she was 5.2kg so they are very similar in size.
Weighed Ruby and she is 22.5 kg now.
Saffy had a walk round the pet shop and looked at the toys. She said hello to all the shop girls who thought she was very cute.
Saffy slept most of the time while I worked. She is really starting to settle down now. She is trying to play with the other dogs with mixed success. Dora would play but Saffy keeps going round to play with Dora's tail. It is so long and fluffy it must look like a tuggy toy.
Saffy came dog training tonight. I put her in her crate and she slept through most of the lesson. We then went into Anne's house with Saffy, and Lexy Anne's 12 week old Border Collie and Rio her brother. Rio and Lexy immediately started running round chasing each other. Saffy sat and looked around taking it all in. She watched the collies for a bit and then obviously decided that they were having lots of fun so she joined in with the game. all three of them had a really good time. Saffy also met Ellie the Dalmatian and Dash Ruby's border collie boyfriend. She wasn't sure about Dash as he seemed to be trying to lick her all over. She also said hello to several people at training.
At home I have introduced the clicker and we are starting to train touch and sit. We practiced standing on the table and being handled.
She is eating well. She likes her food but is not sure about the titbit's I use for training the other dogs so I use her normal food.
The other dogs had bones today I gave Saffy one but she wasn't sure what to do with it. she pounced on it and stalked it but didn't do much chewing. She has a much softer bite than I remember Ruby having.
Ashleigh and I tried to take pictures of Saffy standing yesterday. Much more difficult than it sounds
