Ava's 7 weeks old!... 4/52 (explored)

It's fun to see Ava's personality and quirks emerge as she's getting bigger. She has 2 behaviours that are trademark of each of her parents. The first being how she lays down with one paw pulled in a bit closer to her - totally momma Nina's repose.

 

The other is water. Water brat. Water rat... it's hard to keep this puppy dry. She's in the water dish every chance she gets with both legs and starts to bale it out, hence all the towels on the floor near the low dish. I'm changing the pups to a hanging water bucket but she's still trying to get into that feet first.

 

The water bowl is her favourite place to nap with a leg or ear leather in the water getting wet or draping herself around it like a cat. None of her brothers abuse the water dish as they're play pool. The desire to splash water is completely daddy Chase's spiel. I may need to buy more towels.

 

We're in the midst of a deep chill, can hardly wait until I can get Ava and her siblings outside for pictures instead of everything in the house.

 

Ava stats: 50 days old, 10.65 lbs (almost maxing my accurate baking scale in weight) and she's wet as often as often as she's dry.
