Pita - 9 Weeks

Here's Pita's best shot at nine weeks old! She always turns from the camera or comes running at it, so this is the best for now... :-)

Notes about her changes in the past week:
~ Comfortable with her harness
~ Eating dry food
~ Much more energy
~ More strength and coordination (in other words, she bites harder and doesn't trip over everything; also, she can stand on her hind legs for a second and jump over small items)
~ She had a strange white wart-like thing on the inside of her back left leg that went away on its own (sorry for the details).
~ Used to the sound of the trains and the dishwasher
~ Barks at any new item in the house (ie. Rebecca's backpack, shoes she has not seen prior, etc.)
~ Sleeps in the living room by herself now and does not whine until she is hungry in the morning
~ Goes to the back door and looks back at you when she needs to go out (this occurs about 85% of the time; the other 15% means that we have gone through numerous rolls of paper towels and cleaner)
~ Did NOT like her first bath in the kitchen sink, but did enjoy time out back in her new pool (the lid of the trash can flipped over and filled with water)
~ BMs have been inconsistent (for medical purposes)
~ Is very comfortable in the house and backyard (hence the flattened plants), but the hallway in the building and the back walk to the street were scary for her
~ Eats everything including tanbark and newspaper
~ Comes when called (unless she is in play mode) and knows her name
~ Is VERY good when given the warning sound to stop chewing on an item, then licks it...
~ Enjoys tennis balls and so do I since they play with her in return. She pounces at one, and it rolls away, and the cycle continues! :-)
~ Was kind and a bit shy when the maintenance men came

Here she is getting accustomed to the camera, more like just yawning then barking at it!
