The Pitter-Patter of Little Feet...

 

Steph and Dan get to have their new Guide Dog puppy for the weekend - it is being initially raised by another member of their group (the couple who had Rubina before she was transferred to Steph and Dan).  This other couple likes to have puppies to train, and it is better that they do the housebreak training, since eventually this new girl will go to work with them.

On with the photos: our first view, when Steph brought her around to our yard...


 Yes, Murphy is bigger than Dicha (the new girl).  She is barely 9 weeks old, so she will be growing quickly.  She is a little cutie!

Murph was curious and not a bit aggressive (like he has been with the bigger dogs) - I think will be good for both of them...


 

Nose to nose, no hissing or yipping; good start.  Dicha will grow fast from this point.  It will probably be a month or so that Steph and Dan will have her weekends.  During the week, they have Elsie, who they have puppy sat before (and the one Murphy chased all around the yard - she is a lot bigger now).  I won't be surprised if Dicha is as big or even bigger than Murph when she comes back next weekend.  For now, they will do the "weekend exchange" for a few weeks; it is good for the dogs to have different social experiences.

Thank you, Earl. But, Murphy and Dicha are looking pretty cute, too. Oh, wait... you meant... um, nevermind.
