Nubee is 30 days old. Nubee and her littermates were all showing nervous behavior during morning programming. Staff is amazed how quickly Nubee's motor skills have developed in this past week. She very mobile now and is often initiating the contact with her littermates. She has been making more of an effort to assert dominance over her littermates. Although Nubee is still much smaller than Grizz and Groan when she is confronted by them she can readily defend herself. Today, when Nubee was in the outside puppy pen she romped around in an explorative manner as well as spending time greeting Malik and Shadow.
