Personality Check

Yesterday was a busy day, with a couple friends stopping over to say hello and play with the pups, and more neighbors swinging by to take a peak during outside play time. Each pup's personality unfolds a little more each day.

Peaches
Peaches is one good lookin' puppy (even when her nose is dirty, like in the pic above!). Everyone is taken with her beautiful blue eyes and light coloring. She also looks the most like "a dog" of the three--her brothers still have that slight alien baby look about them, although they're losing it quickly.

She also seems to bounce around the most. It's hard to call what she does running, even though she is technically moving from one end of the yard to the other. It's more like a crazy lady hop, than actual walking or running. This wild woman also happens to be catching up with her bigger brother in the "no bites" department.

Big George
Georgie is quickly growing on me. Having exhibited the most aggressive puppy behavior of the three, he's had to learn commands like "no bites" and "enough" pretty early on. But he's also responding the best to those commands now. He now loves to be picked up and held so that he can cover your face in puppy kisses. He's also got these big old man wrinkles that are absolutely adorable. George, the bully of the bunch, is also coincidentally the biggest cry baby of the lot. He'll just sit at the edge of the fence and whine (even after play time and bathroom breaks) and cry until you come pick him up . . . which I'm trying not to do lest he figure out the magic formula for getting what he wants!

Peaches and George continue to match each other growth wise, and are definitely partners in crime, often snuggling together and playing together.

Ralphie
I'm convinced that Ralphie is no ordinary puppy. He is going to be quite the character as an adult dog. Most likely the runt of the litter, he's still smaller than his siblings and has eyes that are set a bit further apart, along with an overbite that makes his tiny mouth look like a beak. He looks like a cartoon character.

Unlike his siblings who seem to need either the company of each other or of people, Ralphie does not seem to mind being alone much. Often sitting in the grass chewing on a stick or sleeping by himself in the corner of the crate, he rarely whines or makes any noise at all. He's got that independent drifter thing going on.

While he definitely does rough house and has loads of energy like the others, he's better at calmly sitting in your lap or patiently waiting his turn to be cleaned up and put to bed--sometimes he'll just fall asleep in his carrier box before I get him back in the crate.
