Nick
As in Saint Nick!
Nick put in his appearance around 5 am that Sunday morning. He is a lovely tri-color with his white muzzle and blaze that connects back to his collar. Nick has a full white collar, chest, front and back legs and a tip on his tail. He was born with rear dewclaws, but they have been removed. Nick weighed in at 1 pound, 1 ounce.

Nick is a quick study when it comes to doing new things. I introduced the "puppy" tunnel in the play yard this week, but just walked off & left it there. It didn't take him too long to realize that he could go through it, play in it and even take a nap inside of it! Of course, nothing beats digging or pulling up part of plant while the boys are outside! He is quite a fluff ball as you can tell from his picture. He is definitely going to have his daddy's wavy hair!

Nick quickly learned how to find the door opening in the outside pen. Sometimes that is a hard skill to master for a young puppy. He knows his name - you can watch his head pop around when he hears it. It was interesting to watch him use his paws to touch & set in motion some of the things on the activity box. I love working with smart puppies! You should be able to tell that Nick is losing some of his black markings on his face. The tan eyebrows are becoming much larger & there is more tan showing up around his eyes now. I suspect he will have the open face like his father, Truman when all is said & done.
