Wash's breeder had said to bring our jackets because the pups are exploring now, and she would have them outside to explore with us. As it turned out, the weather was gorgeous, and the jackets only slowed us down when we were chasing after a herd of waddling puppies. We had them out 3-4 at a time, Wash being out the whole visit, exploring and playing.
It's a bit disheartening to realize that outside, people are no longer the most exciting thing to a puppy, but they were nice enough to go explore for a bit, then come back for cuddles.
When we arrived the puppies were in a pen and all jumped up to greet us- much to our enjoyment.
Wash was very friendly this week. He came right up to me, nuzzled and nibbled my hand and bounced away to explore a blade of grass that had distracted him from me. He's still silent. I heard him make a low growl when he was fighting his brother for a toy, but otherwise, no noise. (I'm sure that won't last long).
His eyes seem to be getting clearer. Wash and the other pups were able to focus on us while we were playing, and came when we clapped our hands, waived or called.
I really missed seeing him last week. The little thing really isn't that small any more. The litter currently shares the house with a mature miniature poodle named Tess, and Wash is already the same size as her, 7 weeks vs 7 years, and they're the same size..... Wash's breeder keeps saying he'll be small for a doodle, but if I look at his paws I'd say he's going to be a big guy!
Lots of playtime, then lots of sleep.
