nyssa – Jun 30, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Nyssa is 49 days old. When the pups went outside, in the early excitement, Nyssa was ganged up on by Maya and Grizz. As the play continued, she was an equal participant in the chase in which the prize was a pig's ear. Nyssa did very well during the programs. She controlled some deer hide and vigorously defended it from Maya using growls and snaping at her. She chewed on it for the duration of the programs, and had to be taken out of the pen with it in her mouth. She was trying to run back into the pen after we took her out. Nyssa consistently seems to be the least phased by public programs, occupying herself with various toys, or sleeping next to a nanny.
