Teething

Poor little baby girl is losing her puppy teeth and not feeling good :( She's been trying to devour my hands, so got her some ice cubes instead and now she's wolfing those down instead. Freezing up some bread for her to munch on later.

She's also had a bad reaction to some ear cleaner, so her ears are very sensitive today, and we will not be using that stuff again. Feel so bad that she's so uncomfortable!

She wants to go play outside, but it is so hot, and I don't want her to get her ears back in the water quite yet, so going to try to keep her entertained inside for now....

Wiki Goes Swimming

Note: I suggest watching videos without volume as my parents were talking in the background.



Wiki went swimming all by herself today for the very first time. She went in with some help from Grandpa for a little bit, and then with the incentive of a Water Wubba, she started doing some real swimming. She is not delicate about it. LOTS of splashing! But she is very brave and has a good time. Now that she has gotten lots of practice, and can probably outswim me, she is one pooped out little puppy.

(In other news, she also lost a baby tooth and looks to be on the verge of losing some more.)

Father's Day Picnic

Wiki went to my family's annual father's day picnic/multiple birthday celebration. We stuck her on a long lead and let her roam around, play ball, run the park, sneak some bits of hamburger and hotdog...she was a pretty happy camper. Next time we just have to figure out how to get her to understand the frisbee. Here are a couple shots my dad took:

Fruit

We have lots of fruit trees in the backyard. Wiki is particularly fond of apples, but she'll eat pretty much anything she can find. Here, she tries a nectarine for the first time. Of course she has to carry it underneath me for protection. Wouldn't want any big hungry bears to come steal the fruit away.

In Memory of Stick

Wiki found the greatest stick ever in the backyard. A few days later, she snapped in half. But before that, we got a lot of good fetch out of that stick.

Post-Bath Exhaustion

Wiki got a bath, which she does not like at all. It was her first one since the day she moved home, so definitely needed it. She looks and smells very nice without all that extra dirt! Then she ran around the house tearing up recyclables, made it up to my bed, and conked out. She's been snoring away and looking so adorable.
