On Sunday, I had Holly sitting on my chest looking me in the face while I talked to her. As I talked to her, she was doing the puppy head tilt back and forth. All of a sudden, she lets out one big BARK and wanted to play with my face.
I had a friend that said, "you must have been telling her something very interesting." I said in response, "I was telling her how pretty she was." :-)
It's two days later, and I still haven't heard a real clear bark since then. Howling when their hungry, yes; and growling with they are playing with their littermates, yes. I am wondering if they will stay more quiet, Lassen's first litter were already barking at this age when it came to playing with each other or wanting something. Time will tell.
