Piacere and her brothers and sisters made their debut as models in the April issue of "Aiken No Tomo" (Dog-lovers' Companion), which came on stores on March 25.
The six puppies at the bottom right of the upper photo are Piacere and her brothers and sisters, but we can not identify Piacere. The upper three photos of the lower photo also show them, denoted as "40 days old", and the bottom two photos show puppies of Marian, denoted as "50 days old".
Almost a fortnight has passed since the previous post.
While Piacere's left ear has become erected. When she hold up her face like this photo, her left ear is sufficiently ereceted, but when she looks downward, the tip of the ear hangs.
Piacere seems to understand that those who let her play with are Grandma Pizzicato and Grandma Leeds. When Piacere comes out of the cage, she immediately gets close to Pizzicato like this. Pizzicato, on the other hand, sometimes takes care of Piacere and some other time ignores her. This photo shows an example of the latter case. Piacere tried to draw Pizzicato's attention by lying on back and stretching her fore legs, but Pizzicato stayed unconcerned. After a while, when Piacere's endurance reached the limit, Piacere bit and pulled Pizzicato's beard, and she got yelled seriously. Pizzicato might have been in an evil mood.
Leeds bears off Piacere's persisting spoof. Recently, Piacere has found another joy of climbing onto Leeds' back.
As you can find from the photo, Piacere has grown so large.
We went to our second house in Yamanashi, on a highland with the altitude of 1,000m (3,280 feet), after a fairly long absence. It was the first time since mid-December, and this is due to Pieta's delivery of puppies.
As the first vaccination of Piacere had finished, we made a coach-and-five trip.
Piacere livelily runs around in the second house as well. Because she has not yet been vaccinated twice, her area of activities is limited indoor.
The ears are getting erected.
Her grandma, Pizzicato, plays the role of playing mate. Pizzicato should be used to handle a baby as she experienced growing Pieta. Piacere also looks relaxed with Pizzicato.
Ms. M, who came to our second house for trimming of Pizzicato after an absence for a while, said that Pizzicato was good at playing with puppies.
Pieta looks frustrated as she does not know how to handle a puppy, and is unable to play with her daughter.
Piacere never has her tail down, even if she is scolded by Leeds or Chilwell, and shows her strong temperament, which is good for dog shows, but excessiveness may be a fault.
Although it is hard to find in this photo, her eyebrow has started growing in the way that a Scottie should have.
Compare her size against Pizzicato's. Piacere has grown so large after three months. Her head alone is now bigger than the entire body at birth.
Pizzicato, proactively lying on her back, plays with Piacere. It seems that Pizzicato rather enjoys herself than entertaining Piacere.
During the second half of the previous week, she was shampooed and vaccinated for the second time. She was given a bandanna together with the adults, but it is so large as to looks like an apron.
The best playing pal is Pizzicato. Piacere sometimes fawn on Leeds and Chilwell, but Leeds would gnars botheredly, and Chilwell bawls and drives away Piacere. Piacere continues jumping to them without giving in.
