Alexis

 

05/17/08: I think that we have decided on Alexis as a name for Orange Collar Girl. Alexis means “defender, protector.” She seems to be settling in and is content as long as there are people around. If no one is in the room where she is, she doesn't like it, even if we are right across the dog gate from her! She loves to play with us, and we have to keep putting toys in her mouth to keep her from chewing on us! She plays hard, then needs to take a long nap, which she is doing right now. Here are a few pictures of Alexis. ~ Ann (Virginia, USA)

 

 

05/21/08: The boys enjoy her a lot, but the younger two are more wary of her because of her puppy teeth. I think she thinks they are her litter mates. I am having to crack down on her and not let her grab their ankles. I am also trying to tell the boys not to run from her because this just makes her think that they want her to chase them. Of course, they wouldn't mind that if it didn't come with the teeth! I have been surprised by Nathan (age 7) because I thought that he would have been the one to mind this the most, and not know what to do, but Alexis and Nathan must have some sort of “arrangement” because she doesn't usually go after him, and if she does, she listens to him. It is interesting to watch. [Photos below at 9 weeks.] ~ Ann
