I am so pleased that Zanna is turning out to be just like her mother in the fact that she is such a relaxed mother.




She cleans them with such love and confidence.

she doesn’t get upset by screaming puppies that can’t get to the milk supply because they are behind their mother. She just patiently lets them do their thing till they get to their destination. They are strong puppies building up muscles due to their “hardships” ha, ha.

Here you can see how the pups suck themselves airtight. After getting a hikkie on my chin from Zanna when she was a puppy of about the same size I have total respect for these little suckers ;-)






Zanna spends hours and hours in the whelping box, but is confident enough to also know they are safe to leave alone when we go for walks.




But there is one thing she is very different in than Tieka was with her own pups. Tieka would stay in the whelping box with her puppies while I prepared her food, she knew she would get “room service”. But Zanna just can’t wait. If the puppies are drinking at the time… well that’s just too bad cos mums food comes first. And she just stands up and lets the pups drop off her.

Zanna’s always been like that, just loves her food. When I train with Zanna the best thing to get her motivated is FOOD!!
When I train with Tieka food is ok, but to really get her motivated I have a tennis ball. Tieka just LOVES tennis balls.

Must show you how sweet Sweetie is



And to finish off the photo session today…. I gave Hippie a good talking to and said he really has to do something about his image cos if he keeps this up no one will want him HA, HA, HA, HA….




Tomorrow I think Sun Bear will be our victim of fun.
