Joy
At three weeks of age, Joy is doing a
lot of exploring within the confines of
the pen. She is steady on her feet
now, can do some running and is
beginning to grab toys to play with as
well.  She's quite a little love bug!

Four Weeks
Four weeks in age has brought a lot of changes for Joy.  She
is now walking and running - inside and outside the house.  
The only place she has not tried to explore is the kitchen,
otherwise, everything else seems to be fair game.  She is a
licker, easy to get along with, still likes to be held & cuddled.

Five Weeks
Joy has definitely become a little more vocal and squirmier
this past week.  However, she is still quick to come, loves to
be in your arms & quick to give "kisses" all around.  She is
enjoying the extra freedom of being outside & was the first
one up the steps.  She reminds me a lot of Kira at the same
age in head shape and eye set.

Six Weeks
Joy is always on the go looking for new things to explore,
with Jack right behind her.  Kira loves to play fetch with her
Kong ball.  Joy will stand nearby & rush out to try and herd
her mom as Kira returns with the ball.  It's quite funny at
times.  So far, she has been easy to correct, comes when
called & is right there in the middle of things.  She is a fun
pup, all the way around!

Eight Weeks
Joy left here weighing a little over 14 pounds.  She and Jack have
had a blast romping through whats left of the flowers, playing in
the leaves, climbing and pouncing on one another.  Joy definitely has
an opinion about most things, but is still fairly easy to correct.  I
can see a little of the "fun police" in her, like her sister Holly.  Joy
will probably be very into rules and enforcing them.  She has joined
a family in Fayetteville and will be exploring the new world there,
plus out of town family visits this holiday season.

Seven Weeks
Like Jack, Joy had her shining moments with the ducks at Kay's house. The
big thing was her willingness to work with Kay and to get up close &
personal with the ducks.  At the agility trainer's house, she definitely had
her own opinion as to which things she should try and when.  There were
times when we had tried to get her to do one thing and she refused, but
when we looked at her a little later, she was doing it all on her own!
