Walking and Playtime

Phoenix and his Mom selected our own Ciara as the February Pupsqueek 2010 pup. Thanks, that was very sweet of you. Phoenix is getting a new sister soon too and her name is Zara.




Several of you said you liked watching our videos so we put together another one. The first part is all about Ciara's first walk in the neighborhood. Then she takes the big step and walks along with her brothers. Mom says it wasn't too bad but Phantom wasn't too crazy about her walking next to him. But it was still fun. The second part of the video is more playtime between the half-siblings. Thunder does very well with her up to a point and then he just can't control his strength OR his big mouth. Mom has done a lot of editing here so you don't have to hear the puppy squeals.

Phantom is doing pretty well with Ciara but he has assumed more of the role of the pack policepup. He totally ignores her if he is alone with her, but as soon as she and TD starts clowning around, he is right there to yell at them. We will have to try to catch that on video too. Now for the video. Enjoy.





Woos, Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  1. Grand movie! We love seeing you two play. That group walkie looked most interesting....I guess she couldn't decide where she wanted to be. Silly girl!

  5. Ciara is so small and cute! Walking between her brothers is like when my Pops drives his little car between two buses... it's scary!

  6. She looks so little compared to the guys - hard to think she'll be almost their size in 6 months. We drive our Mom crazy with the walking back and forth.

  7. What's up with the editing? I say no puppy playtime is complete until the puppy goes SQUEEEEE! Maybe that's why my nephew Oliver doesn't come over to see me anymore.

    But it is important for her to be able to tell when the big dog has had enough, right?

  13. Clara is one well behaved puppy. The notion that you can already walk all three of them on leash at one time is amazing! Until very recently, our 'puppy' continually play attacked our older dog while walking on leash. It made walking very hard!

    It would be fun to weigh Clara every week and tell us how much she grows. I always do that with my puppies and it's astonishing how fast they convert puppy food into dog!

  14. Wooos! Ciera is absolutely adorable, even going on nice walkies, but mostly playing chase! I love that game, hmmm, maybe I do want a puppy... nah... never mind.

  15. Great job on the walkie, Ciara!! So brave - sniffing all those potentially scary things, even picked up a leaf!! Gotta watch that leash though, it'll get you hung up around things (hint: always walk in the same side of the tree as mom does). You are growing up fast!

  20. Congrats on the award! The video was great. I love where she nonchalantly picked up the leaf and carried it a bit. Too cute!!

  21. Ciara is a wonderful walker for a pup her age! With her brothers? She'll get it soon enough. I love that she is such a confident little pup, so fun to watch!

  22. Hi there Phantom, Thunder and Ciara,

    It so cutie how Ciara runs a bit to keep up with her brothers during the walkie.

    They surely are enjoying each others' company.

  23. Loved the video. It was lovely to hear you say Ciara as we have not been sure how it is pronounced.
    She looked so lovely trying to keep up with Phantom and Thunder - having three must bring back memories of Dakota.
    Phantom and Thunder look so good with Ciara. She is full of puppy energy.

  26. Hi Ciara, You are doing great on the walkies. I think you will soon have those big brothers trained so they do whatever you want. BOL You sure have a nice big yard to run and play in. My mom keeps planting flowers in my yard!

  29. Hello, Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara! Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your video. It's always great seeing the boundless energy of young puppies. Ciara is lucky to have two big brothers to watch out for her.

  33. Wow, she did great on her first walk. Most puppies pull backwards, but she was in front of you most of the time, way to go Ciara!

    Thunder is so good with her. That is so sweet.

    And so brave to walk all 3 at once, I am lucky to walk just one. :)

    and Sagira says...of course you guys can come play, I love having playmates!

  38. Oh that is so cute.. She sure likes walking with her brothers.. Phantom will give in pretty soon. He doesn't was Thunder and Ciara to have all the fun.. Callie always has to be out in front when we walk and she won't walk next to Louie. All is good if Gus is in the middle...

  39. We have been so enjoying the videos! Thanks for sharing this newest adventure in your lives. I am starting to think that having a brother is going to be just fine.

  42. So, Mr Thunder has assumed the role of the mature fun police. My M doesn't let us correct each other, she's afraid we may develop bad habits and eventually hurt each other. What does she know?
    Loved the video. Ciara is a joy to look at. The triple leash part was intriguing to us. It seemed to work perfectly whereas we can hardly manage the double.
    Thanks for the very entertaining video.
    Twink!

  43. Now we're talking! You get so much more "essence" from video. And it makes you want a Sibe puppy like mad.

  47. had this post up to watch earlier but couldn't download movie in time. I love how you walk 3 dogs. i've been considering a 3rd (someday after Europe) but have always wondered about the walking part. I pretty much do what you do, one hand, let the leashes twist and they can just untwist in one hand. but i still thought it would be hard! you make it look easy even with a PUPPY!


    Question: why do you knot your leashes? they look leather. (i like leather for the feel and strength.) but curious on why you knot them.

    and finally: i love how you praise Ciara for potty outside. so many people get this wrong. perfect. love how thunder goes and smells it (marks it even?) at the end...

    my word verification is bityrag... hmmm... a new toy for Ciara?

  48. What a great video! :) She did great on her walk with the boys! You are so brave to walk 3 at once!

  49. We love the videos, and watching you grow up, Ciara! We're not sure which we like better? Seeing you learn to walk on a leash and with your brothers? Or romping free and happy in your nice big backyard? We DO know you are a lucky puppy to be part of your wonderful family!

    Love
