Primrose Puppy Log

I wish Quinn was slightly less of a pushover - she gives up anything if Prim wants it

Just like Fred with Annie, even now at 7 and 5

 

[Atemas]

Aah, a lovely read. Love the relationship already between the two

That's lovely to read Ashley, your love for both your girls really shines though along with your enjoyment of Primrose.

Those photos - too perfect and gave me a great chuckle this morning! Favorites are the last "I'm chewing on your head" photo with Primrose getting progressively more chewy and Quinn looking progressively more peeved (yet patient). And of course, Señor Carbón approves of "Jose Perro, Muy Especial" (Joe Dog, Very Special). Heh, heh, those bleary sleepy eyes looks like she's been at the real thing.

 

[M.F.]

So sweet!!

Curious to know why they sleep separately?

 

[Joy]

I so enjoyed reading about the relationship between them, and great that it's going so well.

That is so lovely to read @Ashley . Gorgeous photos too, especially as she seems to be cuddling Quinn on one of them.
Do you think Corona restrictions have made it easier or harder raising puppy Primrose with big sister Quinn? Or just no difference at all as you know raising a puppy requires dedication, effort and love (oh yes and elephant skin and knowing you will have a tiny wrecking ball in your home!)?

Looks like they have a gorgeous relationship!

Quinn sleeps in our bed and Primrose sleeps in a crate in our bedroom (like Quinn did when she was a puppy). We have a daytime crate on the main floor for naps/eating/home alone. I bring Prim up to bed later (she is active at night and we go out for a late potty break).

She’s so patient! Primrose changes so fast - this week is standing on Quinn and biting her head, last week was laying on her and before that it was tail biting you can feel Quinn’s eye roll waiting for each stage to pass!

In many ways easier- not only are home from work but we also have no social things so no juggling having someone watch a young puppy or alter schedules and no guilt or worries about leaving her. I’m also here and able to spend time training and playing and taking Quinn on separate walks. That’s the best part - I haven’t missed anything in the puppy stage!
The downside is that she is not being exposed to much in terms of other people, their homes/yards/older dogs. We had a brief time where stores were open and we took her but socialization has taken a hit. I’m glad dog training was deemed essential so we at least had that experience.

What beautiful photos, especially of the one of Primrose on her own.

 

[MellowYellow]

Lovely photos, and so nice to hear that the two of them are getting along so well!

Beautiful Primrose. and Quinn is a total star.

Big Prim at 17 weeks! Has some adult teeth but still biting like a demon! This morning she wore one of Quinn’s harnesses and she’s looking so old

 

[Jacqui-S]

Still a puppy face

 

[Loraseal]

Puppy face... Oh yes
