M & M - 7.10.2015

We had Mable come over last night (9 month old great dane pup from next door neighbors). Maya is definitely nervous about her (hides if possible) whereas Mindy is right up there, checking Mable out. Mable is a sweetheart but BIG (tall and skinny at this point). Her and Lola love to romp around and I'd like to see Maya be able to do so also but this is the only thing she's shied away from so far (Maya readily greets new people, at our place and at the vets the other day).

Got a few more videos of all the pups playing - it seemed like Mindy was trying to engage in the play a bit more. I wonder if she would engage even more if Maya wasn't here for her to watch over? She acts like she's her responsibility to protect/watch.

I was frying bacon (for myself:) in the background noise, along with watching Friends while I put together pup food. Gracie was the main policer in this round. Her and Ringo will have "bark-offs" that can be quite loud and prolonged.
