Canada day long weekend - puppy party!

Note: Photos and video to come.

Stardust is a sweet little munchkin, and I was joking with a friend earlier about her not being the brightest.  “She’s pretty” my friend said.  Too true.  She’s also smarter than I give her credit for.  She was hungry the other night (and I was waiting for the visiting dogs to leave before feeding her) so she walked to the bathroom (where the food is kept) and started pawing.  She watched Deja eat straight out of the bag once, and I’m sure she was planning on doing the same.

She continues to miss Nova at night but is doing really well otherwise.  She is friendly with strange dogs in the house and shares her toys.  We had two guests this weekend who were suuuper shy and so after greeting them politely, she wandered off to play with her toys in the corner, and give them space.  She roughhoused with Deja but didn’t bug the shy new dogs.

I got a little irritated with the pawing at the door so I picked her up and sat on the floor with her in my lap and the nail clippers in hand.  Usually I grab treats, and have help but she didn’t even squirm.  She let me hold her paws and clip with no protestation.  I did both front paws before letting her go.  That had to be the single easiest nail clipping EVER.

Update: Nighttime sleeping has finally been sorted yay!  She sleeps quietly through the night.  We had ZERO disturbances last night, not even an early morning “I’m hungry and impatient”

Weekend update - a ball of happy

Check out the AARCS website for new photos! Stardust is such a sweet, happy, playful puppy and was (fairly) well behaved OFF LEASH for the photo shoot. Super cute and amazing photos by Marshmallow photography.

She is growing like a weed and in the clumsy puppy stage but is a joy to have around. She is not afraid of anything (loud noises or otherwise) and will happily chew on a kong or a bone after only half an hour running around. She is a really chill dog and gets cuddly if everyone else is (ie if Deja is lying on my lap).

Deja's a lap dog BTW.
