Aska, Buska and Yankee have left their whelping box and are now living in an X-pen (exercise pen) and sleeping in their crate. Buska's travel crate comes later this week.
Everyone visits them several times a day; mom is still nursing but less often.
Yankee, who used to be a bit of a bully because of his much larger size, has realized that the girls are more likely to play with him when he is less assertive. He often places himself in the passive position which invites play instead of discouraging it. He even lets smaller Aska be in the dominant position. It's so interesting to see how appropriate play patterns and attitudes develop.
Even Pila is enjoying playing with the pups now, teaching them to play but to be careful also.
