Hi, I’m Delta!

Hi! I’m little Delta! I am Apple’s puppy, born on 12/11. We do not know the breed of my father.

I am five weeks old now.  I am a smarty pants and already know my name and come running when I am called.  I love playing with my toys…tackle dummy bears for wrestling, tennis balls, chew bones and even knots tied into pieces of rope.  I get tired and crash after about 30 minutes, but toys are great and a home with a good supply of these would be a dream for me!   I like going in my toy box and picking up and carrying off my toys, then Foster Mommy picks them up, then I take them out again!   I like this game!

I have learned to drink water and am eating softened dry dog food to supplement my cereal with puppy milk replacer. I am eating my dry mixed with a little canned dog food to entice me.  At five weeks, I still nurse a couple of times per day.

I am very intelligent and human responsive, as most single pups are. I have a great appetite. I am growing physically and mentally so fast it is hard to keep me challenged. I sleep alone part of the time and with Apple about 1/4 of the time. When I wake up, I go to the kennel door and “speak” /cry to be let out to potties. If Foster Mommy is not around, I use the puppy paper at the far corner. Foster Mommy thinks that I will quickly learn to go outside….once the weather warms up.

I have the extra skin of a Pei pup. I’ve got enough skin for 2 puppies! You can see the wrinkles on my nose/muzzle.   I did need to have my eyes tacked when I was 6 weeks old.

I am very excited that I was transported to my new home on 3/16!
