Good Morning
A Very cute Photos of Greenstone BoogieMan of Belglen, playing with Greenstone Born in a Storm, Foot and mouth is a much loved Icelandic puppy Game.. Its always so sweet to see the adults get so gentle and figure out ways to play with the puppies so that everyone feels safe.
It is also just as interesting to see how different the males vs the females play with the puppies as they grow, I swear at first the mothers let the puppies get away with anything, then slowly as they develop the mother starts to teach them manners , and then as they get old, bigger and stronger, the mother will watch while the puppies play with some of the other dogs, and the mother picks and chooses, who they get to play with at what age, and she still will come to the pups rescue if she thinks its required on the other hand, if she thinks its a lesson that was needed, she will just turn a blind eye.. when I keep a puppy, for the first four to six months, the dogs let them get away with so much, but around six months, the rules slowly start to change and more and more the puppy is treated as an adult in the group, and that means learning and minding the house rules..
So Tofra Dalla HI went to the vets yesterday for her yearly, and she was given a clean bill of health, was boosted and I was very pleased to hear that my teeth brushing means that her teeth are in great shape, and no cleaning needed, and she is almost four, part of that would be diet, part genitics, and part tooth brush helping.. The vet was very pleased that she has been at the same adult weight for a couple years now, she sits at 28-29 pds every time we go in, which for her is an ideal body weight, not to thin, not heavy and very healthy..
so otherwise, yesterday was a bit of shopping day, Got in supplies for the next few weeks, and the dog thought supper was amazing, I got five rubs of puppy joy, and I didn't have the heart to tell them that it was not that hard to mix up some new fresh banana's with whole organic yogurt, and put a heaping spoon on top of each doggy bowl and mix.. the dogs, where like...yes...but as they also got it in their face fur, you could tell who is the other dogs favorite as they groomed each others faces :)
I had to laugh at Jason, he came in after running the dogs, looking for a tape measure, so I helped him find one, how is it that we have five of them, and yet they are never in the right drawer.. well sometimes I find them and put them in, and then there are couple in there.. but slowly over time one ends up in the barn, upstairs etc.. anyway, out he went, and I have to admit I thought him, what does he want that for.. So he comes back in and after settling in the house, informs he that when the dogs are running, and playing out in the hay fields, do you know that Bjorn and Vaskur can have up to seven feet distance between their stride from front to back.. I had to chuckle, and my very smart reply was.. " and that would be because in the standard, it call for brick, free and effortless covering of the ground!" to which he snorted at me, and said, they are amazing to watch play and run..
I would have to agree, to see the pack at play, is poetry in motion!! They are so amazing in their movements and the speed has never failed to impress.
Well, guess, I had better get on with my day, have a good one..
