Puppy Pics

Sensitive content

What have I been up to, lately? Well ... not a lot of productive things, truth be told. Granted, there's some uni responsibilities I'm proud of having sent in before the deadline, and I have read a fair number of books (especially a lot more of Discworld, and all of Murderbot, which I read at a rate of one book per day). But otherwise I've just been reading countless articles and blog posts, watching videos, scrolling Reddit even when I said I would quit (again), doing a lot of comparing prices among shops for things I may not really need,
Why, though? Well, to give the best life to this puppy in the below pictures!
Everyone, say hi to Pika! She loves sleeping, food, her family, chewing, swimming, growling fearsomely while actually completely misunderstanding the game of tug (she thinks she's supposed to push the toy towards me and let me do all the tugging on my own), and all the belly, chest, back, neck ... just, all the rubs ever. And though she hasn't met you yet, she loves you, too.
Mind you, all these pics are a bit out of date. She's almost 4 months old now and a much bigger girl at 15 kg. I'll be sure to get you a more recent pic sometime, perhaps with her new favourite toy, a plushy carrot that, to my unimaginative hands, looks more like a fish. But until then, enjoy this little journey! I've added additional info in the alt texts where I could, but I can's see the pics myself, so some descriptions are lacking.

1/2 because apparently there's a pic limit.

Oh look, there's a beautiful black puppy, with a white dot on her chest and another near her backside. It's Pika, a little labrador/golden/border collie mix, hiding under the chair. There's something happening and she doesn't quite know what. Don't let her shyness fool you, though; she fell asleep in my arms on the ride home, as though that's exactly where she belonged. That's actually why I picked her -- the other two pups were all play, but this one just wanted to cuddle (well, and maybe gently mouth at my clothes).

Finally more Pika! This is the first of three shots of her playing with her favourite toy at the time, a plushie octopus from Kong. She didn't much care for the squeaker except when one of us squeaked it for her, but the rustle of the foil in the tentacles is still the best thing! The fact that it's technically made for large dogs certainly hasn't stopped her from chewing it, fetching it, or playing tug with me (again, this just means that *I* tug and she runs around, or lies down and lates me tire myself out while wagging her tail happily).

Pika's siblings! Another sister, with longer, more golden-like fluffy fur, and a short-furred, big-pawed brother. Black and brown, I believe? I cannot remember what they're doing on this picture, or if both were even captured, but they spent most of their time playing, running around, and splashing happily in their water bowl, so it's probably one of those.

More puppy pics! Again, info in the alt text, though more so fun facts than actual descriptions -- sorry!

Another pic of Pika playing with her octopus! It was in much better shape back then, mind you. One tiny hole on one tentacle, but that was it. Now it's missing two, I've had to remove the stuffing from two more, and even the body has a few holes. I'm so glad that she hasn't had any interest in eating the stuffing -- yet! If that ever happens, this is going straight to the bin.

And the third one! Honestly, I don't know what the difference between them is. My dad took three pics and sent me all of them instead of just picking the best one. But really, when has more happy, wiggly puppy ever been a bad thing? If it is though, let me make things better with another fun fact: while that wasn't the case at the time of these pics,another thing Pika likes to do sometimes is to make weird farting sounds with her mouth while chewing this plushy. It's the weirdest, and the best! And hey, so long as she doesn't chew us -- something she's been unbelieveably well-behaved about -- she can make whatever weird sounds she wants.

In this one, Pika is tired. You see, she'd just met an adult dog by the same name and had fun following her around. She was very good at respecting the shy older dog's boundaries though, perhaps because -- as we've found since starting puppy school -- she's a little cautious to approach other dogs, too. So fun was had from a distance, but it was still very tiring fun. Now she is in her crate, on a soft bed (though truth be told she prefers the floor), snoozing away and not caring at all how badly the camera might As a friend wonderfully described it:
"Sorry to inform you, your dog *has* melted. That lab's a liquid, that pupper's a puddle -- only possible explanation for what I'm seeing here."
