| Dubie Dubie was another one of my grandmother's sisters named by their Aunt Bertha. Dubie was the sixth pup to be born and weighed in at .85 pounds. She actually has more white on her than her brother, E. C., but is still black (or seal!) with minor white markings. The front white toe markings will probably disappear by the time she reaches 8 weeks in age. She does have white on her chest & on her back feet. She was one of the two born without rear dewclaws. I can always count of Dubie to seek me out while the pups are playing. She is a super sweet pup who doesn't mind being turned on her back in my arms. I am not sure how it happened that I didn't get a picture of her during the 3 week old time frame, but it did. I really like the personality of this particular pup. At 5 weeks, Dubie is coming into her own & is standing up for herself around her littermates. She is still a very sweet girl. She is beginning to show brown around her eyes, like her brother, E. C. I can always count on Dubie to be nearby while we are playing. Dubie is really developing into a beautiful girl, both inside & out at 6 weeks of age. She loves to play, but also seeks that contact with her people. I can usually find her at my feet looking to be picked up and loved on for a few minutes. She is a fairly confident pup & enjoys exploring new places. At 7 weeks, Dubie continues to impress me with her temperament and how she seeks me out when we are together. You can see her seal highlighting when the light hits her just right, especially around her eyes. This should continue to become a little more prominent all over as she gets older. Dubie will be making her home in CA with Val & Howard Carenza-Pack, plus a couple of cats for herding! |

| You can see with the camera flash that some brown is showing up in her fur. I suspect that she will be seal colored (black with brown highlights) instead of a true black. I tried to get some pictures showing her white markings on her chest, but didn't succeed. Maybe next week will show her markings better. |
