At 4 1/2 weeks in age, Enka has really changed over the
course of the past week. Her legs have finally gotten
longer! She runs, walks well and plays with the best of
them. She has a sweet personality & waits patiently to
be taken out of the pen in the morning. Oh, she has
learned to come over the short side if I don't have the
x-pen up against it!
Enka has been playing with her grandmother, Bec, over
the past week. She is happy to have another dog to play
with her, and I am happy for the interaction as well.
We have begun the weaning process.

At 5 1/2 weeks in age, Enka has really made some
important strides in her development. As you can
see from the pictures to the left, the week
began with her on the ground. She soon mastered
the climb up the steps. By the following day, not
only could she get up, but down the steps with
great ease. She will even come inside by walking
through the front door which is always a scary
proposition for puppies the first few times.
Enka bounds & pounces now, along with running at
a pretty good speed. She is constantly at my
heels when walking outside or inside the house.
She has no fear of the unknown areas inside the
house now & can go from one end of the house to
the other, including walking on the kitchen floor.
As with all our past puppies, Enka has had a great
time frolicking under the dining room chairs;
climbing over and under the rungs.
She continues to be a delightful pup, coming at
the sound of her name, playing with mom &
grandma, along with learning to eat "real" food.

At 6 weeks old, Enka made her first road trip as we went to visit
family 2 hours away. After the initial crying for about 15 minutes,
she settled down for the trip there and back home.
Enka's hair is beginning to really show some brown tipping, but it is
hard to catch on the camera. She is still sleeping with Kira
overnight, but spending a lot of time with Bec during the day. Bec
is very patient with Enka.

I have lots of pictures of Enka this week. A couple of the head shots are a
little washed out due to the flash, but they really show the brown highlights
around her eyes! Enka has been to the vet, along with a trip to Claire's for her
informal puppy herding instinct test. As soon as I download the pictures from
the other camera of that trip, I will post a few of them here.
Enka is now sleeping by herself & plays quietly in the pen until I get up around 7
am. She is eating dry kibble. She continues to be quite friendly, easy to get
along with & a pretty smart little girl. She seems to have the biddability of
Kira and more laid back, like Dillon. She prefers to be with you around the
house, but can entertain herself with her toys in the den. I am certainly
enjoying having her around & will miss her when she leaves on Friday to go to her
new home. She will be living with Dixie, from Bec's 2007 litter.
If pictures can tell a story, then you should enjoy the story of Kira and Enka
playing with the stick below.
