Kuuipo
Our
puppy is doing marvelously.
We named her Kuuipo. It's Hawaiian for Sweetheart. The two u's are
supposed to be pronounced separately, but we seem to sort of combine
them so that it comes out sounding like Kweepo.
Our younger dog, Gabby, has been learning how to teach Kuuipo to
play, and that's been really fun to watch. At first, Gabby would
run clear across the yard and expect the puppy to follow. Now she
gets the puppy's attention, then runs a short distance, and then
stops and waits for the puppy to catch up. So Kuuipo is definitely
getting her exercise! Hero's (the dalmatian) version is play is
mostly to "talk" to the puppy and play with head and paws.
She's less interested in active play but has been very protective
of the puppy. Gabby, though, will lie down and let the puppy climb
all over her. It's really been fun to watch!
