June 2, 2000 The pups made their semi-weekly visit to the vet on June 2 to get weighed and checked. The blue-collared pup weighed in at 5 pounds and 11 ounces and the red one weighs 5 pounds and 7 ounces. This is a typical weight gain of wild pups. They now measure 21 inches from the tip of the tail to the nose. Both of the pups are moving faster with a good trot if they smell their formula. In addition, they are begining to enjoy the outdoors more by wandering away from the handlers about ten feet and then returning shortly thereafter with a series of whines for reassurance. They will be taken outdoors more each day to simulate what they would be doing by their den in the wild. They are playing more with each other with play biting and growling which begins the survival training process.
