Quail's Legacy ~MsWildiful's Natural Raised Athletic Family

[✬MsWildiful✬]

EDIT: Blimey! I can't believe I've posted 24 pages worth of updates in my Duke's Group equivalent thread of my naturally raised dogz! I've been doing this for three years, but that still feels like a lot of posts xP I appreciate everyone who has followed my furry family and watched it grow <3 Naturally raising generation after generation is truly a special experience. Especially with the DG Summer Olympics that Thor started that took the fun to another level! I'm happy to unveil my new crew website that showcases profiles for every member of my naturally raised family You can visit it here. It's been a WIP for a while, but it lists most of my dogz <3




Meet Quail, the Dalmatian Labrador mix.
My first ever officially naturally raised pup, raising in progress




A while ago I finally made up my mind and decided which puppy I was to naturally raise on Duke's Group. I wanted a cute Labrador mix or Tamsin, so with the help of some breeding stock from Cirrutopia and a couple hours breeding from my lines I finally conceived just the pup I was looking for.

A grey halfie puppy with pleasing pointy wolf-like ears, and sweet pink eyes! When I look into those eyes it's like a sweet lollipop, sweet as cotton candy. She's also got white patches as you can see I was super excited to get her, I've named her Quail, because I like quails and Quail just fits her, reminds me of playfulness for some reason. She has a healthy supply of curiosity, although she's a bit timid of new food and toys. She's so sweet and excitable! I'm learning her personality and going to start teaching her tricks!

ッ I've had Quail for several weeks now and have been posting my progress and updates on Duke's group, but I've decided to also have a thread over here as well, so the first few posts will be catch up posts.

She seems to like to yelp with joy and jump around
This is an overview of how me and Quail's day went yesterday.
 Age 12 on brainslider. 9 weeks old.

Here we are, in our nice room with drapes

Quail: What's this? It smells like wood

MsWildiful: Yes, it's wood, it's a stick! Congratulations you found a stick xD

She's frightened of the stick, maybe she thinks it's a tree's detached arm, in that case it's creepy and I don't blame her. I guess everything can be spooky if you let your imagination run too wild, hopefully she's not a scaredy dog.

I try to encourage her to chew the bone, to support good dental health and for calcium! yum

She enjoys the brush, I should also try and clip her nails while she's young to get her used to it before she gets too old and starts disliking the clippers, this happened with my real dog and she should like getting a manicure

Ah yes, drink some hot chocolate, Quail

Quail: Nah..

MsWildiful: I thought all puppies like Hot chocolate! Wait, hot CHOCOLATE?! PF Magic is trying to poison our dogz! Well maybe it's Chocolate free Hot Chocolate, what...

She's quite fond of the leprechaun, I'm sure she wants some St Patrick's day Irish luck! She wishes she was born in March when she could have celebrated, don't worry Quail, we'll have to do something special for your Irish Affinity!

Quail: Rawr!

MsWildiful: Woah, is that some wild side coming out? Let's go outback and serve you some food!

She ran around with the bowl of kibble for a while without nibbling on any, don't you have an appetite?

here's a juicy succulent leg of meat, a protein rich meal, is this more suitable?

MsWildiful: Don't worry, Quail. It's not alive!

MsWildiful: are you rolling on the meat? You're just like my real dog, don't roll in dead things or play with your food, silly!

Yay, she likes it.

Aww she's frightened of the butterfly!

What kind of face is that? xD

Earlier she didn't have an interest in eating the tasty mashed potatoes and left over meat on a plate, not fresh enough I guess, but she did strike a pose! how stylish

I mean it's not the right way but it's still snazzy, she has showing potential

Awww, she's laying on her belly!

I let the Frisbee fly around a couple times, she liked it and chased it but didn't even try to catch it!

maybe when she's bigger.

Quail: Yikes, are those dog toes?!

MsWildiful: No they're only little tiny bits of ground beef baked into a pleasing biscuit treat

Quail: Sweet!

Quail: *Nervously: Yum...

She wasn't nervous after she tasted how good they were lol

I'd love to do a lure coursing trial with her to get her JC Title but she has to be 35 on the brainslider, so until then she can practice chasing the auto ball.

Day 2. Age 15 on Brainslider. 10 weeks old

I think Quail deserves a lovely piece of apparel that fits her well

I think a bandanna is a bit too tomboyish for her

She could wear these deer antlers and be my little deer! she is nimble like a deer

*Makes weird deer noises

awww

Quail: Yeah!

MsWildiful: Nah, that's for dangerous aggressive doggos, you're not angry enough for that

MsWildiful: Too girly

Quail: I agree, I'm not prissy enough to wear a pink bow! I'm a meat eater

MsWildiful: How about a simple red collar?

Quail: It's splendid! I think it fits me so well! makes me feel stylish

Quail trotted and danced around as she ran around in the grass

Quail: There's some bread, neat, but not enough meat! a plate of bread is better to jump over than as a treat!

MsWildiful: Now you're acting like you're part poodle strutting around

That face ^_^ aww.

Quail: Perhaps I am *Bark! Thank you for giving me tasty meat to eat and letting me have fun! I was afraid I wasn't going to get enough playtime. You offer the sweetest home

MsWildiful: You welcome, I shall let you play your heart out!

Quail: Oof, I tripped on myself, #Puppyproblems

Quail likes walking cute and fancy and showing off ^_^

Day 3. 18 on the brainslider. 11 weeks old

Yesterday I was practicing Quail's trick with her. As you can see I can ask her to wave and it's the first trick she's learned, she's on her way to learning some more tricks I'm impressed with her learning a trick this young, it only took a few times and she remembered it. yay! maybe tricks are her talent


Also I picked out her collar yesterday, so I suppose I should let her pick out her own. Until recently I had no idea you could let them play with the auto ball and they would dress themselves, how neat!

I've laid out lots of collars as well as some bandannas to see which she will pick

First she pounced on the auto ball a few times, but then realized she could pick out some clothes!

Well what do you know, she picked the bandanna! I had thought it was too ruff and tumble for her (Get it? ruff and tumble?)
but apparently it's her style, perhaps I'll give her the option to dress up everyday and see what cool style she chooses.
She sports the lovely red bandanna that makes her look like a cowgirl as well as a traditional black and white collar.

I brushed her with a nice blue comb, she enjoyed the attention. Then I tried clipping her nails and she tolerated it but felt kinda funny about it, she was almost afraid
Quail: what are you doing? Don't cut my bones!
MsWildiful: I'm not cutting your bones, its ok, I'll give you a treat!

Quail: uh, ok! Yay. Humans are weird but nice? you confuzzle me! confuse and puzzle!

MsWildiful: You'll understand someday

She really likes chasing the auto ball, and pouncing on it, the frisky lass. She's quite energetic. Like a happy fun ball bursting with solar energy. She'd probably enjoy a companion to play with, maybe someday.

And Quail, what the heck are you doing? Licking the bloody sliver bowl! do you like the taste of metal or something? lol

Age 21 on the Brainslider. 14 weeks old.

Yay, Quail likes jumping through the golden hoop! Jolly good show Quail! although she still look quite frightened of it, but

she volunteers to do it so being scared is fun! Just like with people I guess, people go to haunted houses, maybe she's trying to be more brave!

Quail: Dog food? My word, I wouldn't touch that atrocity

Quail: That's more like it, nom nom. Jeez, I sure hope there are no cows watching me devour their brethren..

Quail can get paranoid at times xD

Quail: A bowl of fish! it's good to try new things.

MsWildiful: Yes, she's going to try fish! I hope she likes eating fish like I do...
Quail: Fishy goodness! Oh my cod, I would krill for this meal, it's out of this tunaverse!

MsWildiful: Blimey!

Quail: Are you really taking pictures of me eat?

MsWildiful: but It's your first time eating fish!

Quail: Well, that was super tasty and makes me feel so strong I could flip!
MsWildiful: Careful, don't get sea-sick from that sea-food!

Quail: I could do some nip!

MsWildiful: Sorry you're a bit too young for catnip
Quail: noooooo

*Whispers
I think the fish is making her a wee bit crazy, she's off her trolley now... it's changed her XD

Age 21 on Brainslider. 10 weeks old.

I let her have some more prime quality meat to eat.

Quail: Ooo, A beefy breakfast! why, it's nice to meat you! om nom nom

Quail stares at the bone

Quail: Why, what have I done?

MsWildiful: It's the circle of life.

I offered Quail a soft plush pillow to lay on, she sorta liked it

Quail: Oooo, what's this? it's so soft, and bouncy!

MsWildiful: But it's better for naps then it is for jumping on!

Quail: Weeeeee! it's springy

Maybe she'd prefer a roll of carpet better

Quail: Oh my, is this one of those wonderful magic carpets? I can already feel myself gaining special

wizardy powers!

MsWildiful: It's just an average- wait, wizardy powers?! whaaaat

Quail: I feel so empowered, I'm flying!

She certainly has a big imagination

MsWildiful: Let's try some Frisbee

Quail: That peculiar disc shaped thing? what does it do? it just flies around everywhere like a barmy bird

MsWildiful: You're supposed to catch it!

Quail: Arf, I missed it! and it nearly flew into me, what crazy person invented a frisbee?

MsWildiful: A crazy fun person!

Quail: Yay! I caught it, mum! yippeee

MsWildiful: Good girl!

Quail caught it a couple more times, glad to see she's finally starting to take more interest in catching Frisbees,

and it's bringing out the Labrador in her, I hear they have good Frisbee catching abilities.

Quail: YOOF, I missed it again! Buggery, oh nooooo, get in my mouth.

Quail: I'm thirsty from all of that rapid frisbee action, may I please have some thirst quenching water?

MsWildiful: Of course! Matter a fact I haven't noticed you drinking any water before, are you okay? are you

secretly part camel or something? nevermind, just drink! Hydrate!

Quail: Ahh, cool water! that was grrrreat.

MsWildiful: Don't run with water! silly

I know she's a bit young but I've decided it's a good time for a temperament test I can't for the life of me remember where I found this but it's a nice way to test your pet'z temperament.

Food Possession: A little bit, twice she let me take the meat from her and once she was possessive I made sure she ate her fill first so she wouldn't be hangry lol

Quail: Grrrr, don't take my meat!

MsWildiful: But you already ate!

Toy Possession: A little, she only wouldn't&nbsp; give me the ball of yarn once out of four times of taking it from her, so far she's pretty sweet and mellow. Once she let me have it and did a fun roll! awww

Quail: Sure you can have the ball of yarn, I'll just roll like a ball of yarn weeee!

Okay with cats: Yes, I introduced her to my show cat moggie Squirrel, Squirrel seemed pleased to meet Quail and first she was fond of him but then jealous when she had angry eyes, they didn't play but they didn't fight. They were good!

Quail: Grrrrr, what's that filthy oversized squirrel doing here?

MsWildiful: How'd you guess his name? he's my kitty, he's well groomed and you two are both named after woodland critters and I expect you guys to get along.

Obedience: Came after the first try!

Posing: Posed after a couple clicks, wasn't afraid

Quail: This is my good side, fancy enough?

MsWildiful: Both sides are your good side!

Fearfulness.. Oh boy, Quail's weakness
Jack o' lantern: Slightly spooked, but mostly brave!

Quail: muuuum, this pumpkin is laughing! what's wrong with it?

Fish bowl: Perfectly cool with it, she carried it around

Quail: A fish! Can we eat it?

MsWildiful: No, this is a goldfish, it's our friend!

Quail: Tell that to my mouth

MsWildiful: Nooo!

Quail: Just kidding, muhahaha

Watering Can: Enjoyed it. I know she looks scared in a couple of photos but she was liking it

Quail: Ahhh it's like a delightful shower under a waterfall!

Play
Ball: Liked it

Tug: Liked it, a bit too feisty!

Frisbee: We already know she's quite fond of Frisbee!

Intelligence:
Treat ball: Well I had a basket based treat ball in my game but for some reason I can't put a treat in it to see if she will bat it out but ah, it's okay. I'll do it some other day So in general I think she did pretty well on her Temperament test so hopefully she does good next time I test her when she's fully mature <3

Age 28 on brainslider. 3 and a half months old.

Time to spend some quality time with Quail, I'm sure she misses me after my short break from petz, sorry Quail.



Quail: Mum! I'm so glad to see you, hooray! I've missed you

Quail jumped into my arms with happy smiles.
Quail: I'd just love a bite to eat!

MsWildiful: How about before breakfast I let you pick out a new style?
I've laid out all sorts of collars for Quail to choose from, it looks like a dog thrift store threw up everywhere!

Quail: Yippie, I get to pick my outfit!
MsWildiful: Pick away!
Quail: Weeeee
Quail jumps into the pile of clothes and rolls around tackling the auto ball.
Quail: I chose a collar as red as a strawberry, with a blue one too! how do I look?

MsWildiful: You look like the bee's knees! pretty as a flower, nice choice. I'm just not sure why you always
wear two collars at once, but that's fine haha. Now for some protein, a meaty meal! or would you rather
have fish?
Quail: Well fish might be- OH YIKES! No thanks, I can't eat something that's staring at me, I'm giving it back!

MsWildiful: But this is a fish that I caught, you've ate fish before, remember? It was cod good
Quail: But this fish isn't in a bowl so, I'd rather have traditional meat.

Quail: So tasty and meaty! I'm going to eat all the way to the bone
MsWildiful: Good girl, eating all of your breakfast. I'm sure you'd like a good brushing session, your fur probably
needs it.
Quail: Woah, it's so bristly and strange, almost like it's trying to eat me!

MsWildiful: You've been brushed before, silly! now let's see about snipping the hair pertruding too close
to your eye...
Quail: Yikes, I don't lke scissors close to me eyes, but I'll try to be brave!
MsWildiful: Great! you did well I'm surprised, most dogz hate it when I try to cut the fur that's poking
them in the eye, but you were excellent!
since you did so good I'll let you have some catnip
Quail: Catnip? But I thought I was too young for catnip.
MsWildiful: Catnip never hurt anyone, cheers
Quail: Hmmm...
Quail cautiously checks out the catnip, she was hesitant but her curiocity got the better of her.
Quail: It smells funny, I'll have a taste..

Quail: ooohh, I feel woozy, maybe I need to sit down.
Quail plops down on her belly

MsWildiful: Are you okay?

Quail: I'm Quail, you didn't name me okay... I mean yes I'm ok
Quail blushes with embarassment
MsWildiful: hahaha
Quail: #hugsnotdrugs. yahooo, I can roll on my belly! I never noticed how soft the carpet was before.
The ceiling is awfully high, I wonder if there are any spiders up there. I'm sleepy, I'm taking a nap. Thanks for
a fun day, mum!
MsWildiful: Glad you enjoyed it, my sweet little puppo.

Today I'm going to especially exercise Quail and let her chase the auto-ball and have a ball!
get it?

Age 31 on brainslider, 6 months old. Quail's doing very well and she's quite perky! I was going to let her dress herself up
with something new but I decided it'd be neat just to let her wear her nice rosy red collar.

Quail: Yippe! Another lovely day for fun

I offered Quail some nice fishy snacks, she was willing to eat some.

Quail: Yum yum, they taste like the river!

Quail was so enthusiastic that while I was finding her some food to eat in the toy closet she swatted the
frisbee out of the display case.

Quail: Can I play with the frisbee, mum? pretty please?!
MsWildiful: Absobloodylutely! It'd be great practice for you to catch a frisbee, and the better you are
at catching frisbees the cooler you are!
Quail: Wow! I want to be cool
MsWildiful: You already are but you can be even cooler. Good luck

Quail was so precious as she wiggled around preparing to catch the frisbee! she patiently waited on the ground
as the frisbee soared over her.
She missed it a couple times, and had some goofy momments, like this one

Quail: GET INTO MY MOUTH FRISBEE! AHHHH

but then...

Quail: Yay! I finally caught it! not so rusty at frisbee catching now, am I?

MsWildiful: Jolly good lassie!

Quail held the frisbee proudly, just like she should

Quail: ta ta

and she didn't want to give it up without a fight

Quail: Nuhhh, my frisbee!

She also wanted something different today, she didn't want to eat a chunk of meat like usual. She wanted

a bowl of scrumptious fish!

Quail: Chunk o meat? no thanks, I'd like some Vitamin D rich fish please!

Quail still barks like a puppy but she's starting to sometimes bark like an adult dog, she's also more
aggressive with holding onto her toys,
I think she's
going through puberty but she's still the sweet dog I've come to love, she's just growing up.

I let her frolic with the auto-ball and she had a blast, but then got annoyed when I tried combing

her fur while she was trying to play.

Quail: But mum, you can comb my hair after I play with the ball!


haha

[✬MsWildiful✬]

Now we're all caught up. Each new update will be a new post

Age 35 on the Brainslider. 6 and a half months old.

Quail bounded out of the red pet door, peppy and happy as usual! very fluffy and soft, she was delighted to see me and
couldn't wait to frolic Then for some reason she batted around the pink pillow, paw punching it a few times and barking
these deep mature barks...

Quail: Grrr ruff! I'm going to beat you up pillow

Maybe she has more anger now? she used to be a timid often shy puppy, and she still is but with a bit o anger... hmmm... probably just a phase, surely my timid puppy won't grow up to be an aggressive doggo, she also yawned on the pillow.

Quail: ahh, it's so cozy I could snooze, but I'm too hyper!

Quail: I'm so hungry I could eat a whole zebra!
MsWildiful: Wow, you must have a mighty big appetite there little lass, hold on, I shall serve you and satisfy your
hungerful soul...
Quail: Man, if she doesn't get back soon enough I might have to devour this pillow...
MsWildiful: Here we go, some fish in a bowl or meat, your choice.

Quail: Meat is my deleat! I mean delight, yummy!

MsWildiful: have some chips!

Quail: ooo, greasy chips, don't mind if I do. Who needs fish and chips when you have meat and chips?

Quail still prefers the meaty goodness over regular kibble she makes the healthier tastier choice and I like that about her.

MsWildiful: Have some dessert, a fish

Quail: ewe, slimy!

Quail pawed at the slimey fish but was intrigued

Quail: It's so gross I might just have to eat it, yum!

MsWildiful: Yay, Quail's a seafoodie!

Quail: mum! I prefer the term carnivore

MsWildiful: Oh, of course darling. My carnivorous canine princess.

I tried to get her to play with a feathery wand, because why not try something different and see how she reacts =P

MsWildiful: Play with this fun feather!
Quail: But mum, I'm not a cat! it's quite spooky, it's going to tickle me to death! and steal my fish, MY FISH!

Let's try a different colour...

Quail: woah, still a kind of creepy feather!

feather: Why do ducks have feathers? to cover their butt quack

Quail: Haha, this one tells funny jokes!
Quail smiled and smirked

MsWildiful: what a wicked wild imagination... I really need to let you socialize before you start having stuffed animal or feather  friends... Let's get you clean

Quail: Ahhh water! lovely wet water! weeeee!

Maybe I need to get a bathroom playscene like they have in Petz 5 so I can properly bathe her, lol.

MsWildiful: Clean as a whistle! Good thing you like water Now let's practice some tricks

MsWildiful: Wave!

Quail: Ello guvna

MsWildiful: Good girl Quail! I don't know where you heard that but I guess cause you're a Brit-pup! leap left

Quail: I'm like a cloud, no, a feather in the wind... no wonder that's my show-name!

MsWildiful: Yay! can you leap right?
*Quail paws the ground and tilted her head. Quail: Errrr...

MsWildiful: It's like leap left but the other way.. it's ok, We'll have to work on teaching you more tricks. Eat a treat

Quail: Ooo, a fish biscuit, what a delicacy.

Quail: now I shall chew this bone, sharpen my teeths. YOU wouldn't take my bone, would you
plush posso? good.

A bit more protective I see, just earlier she was threatened by the FEATHER out of all things taking her fish in a bowl
that she wasn't interested in, just like my real dogs, they only become possessive of food or treat they don't want when another animal wants it. I can't wait to see how she'll feel when she meets other pets who might actually take her toy
or food lol.

I think because I haven't  been raising her alongside another dog she's been an only child or only puppy and she's not used to the idea of sharing things, she may be prone to jealousy, I'll have to teach her sharing I was an only child too.

MsWildiful: Jump through the golden hoop, Quail! You can do it! I believe in you

Quail: Ha ha! I am swift and have jumping abilities, I'm like a kangaROOOOO

MsWildiful: Good lass, hooray. You definitely have showing and competitive spirit, and now you're old
enough so how about we try and get your Junior coursing title?

Quail: This bread is the best thing since sliced bread. And okay, what's that?

MsWildiful: It'll be fun, you see how fast you can catch the auto-ball and I know you love the auto-ball! it's competitive and has your name written all over it

Quail: Tail yeah! I could catch an auto-ball and do some fancy maneuvers

MsWildiful: Atta girl! let's give it a go

It took me a few tries just to practice throwing the ball right so it bounces off the top left and bottom without it going too crazy
and fast for her to catch it!

Quail: I caught it I caught it! now I'm going to lick it!

MsWildiful: Marvelous, and with great timing at 10 seconds! Splendid! yay

Quail: I'm going to be a champion!
Quail barked with glee

MsWildiful: I hope so! Your future's so bright you have to wear shades!

Quail: hahahaha, victory roll!

MsWildiful: There you go again, rolling into your food! well bread isn't the healthiest thing so it's okay to roll over bread

I'm tickled that you like Quail, I'm trying to get her Junior Coursing title now that she's old enough and I'm going to begin teaching her Flyball Duke's Group hosts several fun dog sportz.

[✬MsWildiful✬]

Quail's been a lovely wonderful dog so far, but she's been an only puppy for quite some time now and it's obvious that she
needs a play-mate, not just for play-time but to also learn valuable skills such as sharing and socialization and how to wrestle
with other dogz. I'm sure she's enjoyed having the play-scenes and treatz all to herself, but I think it's time she has acquires a little
brother.

Everyone, meet Duncan He's a Dali mix that I adopted from smonikkims on RKC, he was just such an adorable two-tone puppy,
I couldn't resist! He reminded me of Quail,
that fur reminds me of autumn and pumpkin spice! sure hope he's sweet as a latte. Also by the way, with permission from his breeder I hexed his eyelids to be brown so they match with his fur
He seemed please to meet me. He's 8 weeks old. age 12 on the brainslider.




MsWildiful: Welcome to your new home, little lad! I hope you like it here
Duncan: woah, your're my new mum? I can tell you'll be sweet! it's so nice here, but it smells different, I can smell a dog, fleas
air freshner... sort of scary!
MsWildiful: Don't be afraid! I'll get you something to eat
Duncan whimpers*
MsWildiful: Would you fancy some tasty beef on the bone? fish? or leftovers?
Duncan looks overwhelmed. Duncan: well... I... I guess I'll eat some of this..
yum! this mash is good, what is this stuff?



MsWildiful: Mashed potatoes and bangers which is pork, not the healthiest option but it sure is scrummy isn't it?
Duncan: Sure is! blimey, what's that?
MsWildiful: A good piece of meat
Duncan: Looks like such a revolting piece of flesh! You thought I could eat this? noo way!
MsWildiful: Your sister likes it just fine, she could eat meat all day
Duncan: My sister? I have a sister who eats a piece of carcass?
MsWildiful: You have yet to meet her, but you will soon. Try some fish
Duncan: Ooo, slimy yet satisfying!
Duncan is quite inquisitive and has a healthy supply of curiosity, he's less timid than Quail was when she was his age ^_^

More pictures and an introduction to Quail coming soon...

[✬MsWildiful✬]

My new little lad Duncan is settling in very well. He seems to prefer the plate of leftovers over meat and fish.
Let's see if he can catch the Frisbee! he's just bouncing with radiant energy, look at him! doing a handstand, the show-off.

Duncan: I feel so alive!

Duncan: What a strange yellow disk, blimey it flies! I hope it doesn't eat me, I'll have to eat it first!

.... he sure likes watching the Frisbee! Ooo yes, he's going to try and catch it! I love that face they make when they're preparing
to catch the frisbee! ^_^

Duncan: I could try to pounce and bite it!

Duncan: Blast! escaped my grasp!

It's still adorable even if they miss the Frisbee <3

MsWildiful: awh, so close! it was worth a try. You'll catch it someday!

He seems to really like running around holding the Frisbee, except when he trips with the Frisbee.

Duncan: Oof, oh buggery! the frisbee knocked me down

He's quite playful.

And he likes posing with the Frisbee, he's not scared of the camera shutter so he has potential he's stylish, rocking that two-tone
fur of his.

MsWildiful: What do you think you're doing with the cat dancer?

Duncan: I'll play with it!

MsWildiful: You're not a cat =P How about we introduce you to Quail, she's someone to play with

Duncan: oh gosh, I don't know about meeting another dog, is she friendly?

MsWildiful: We'll find out, it'll be fine! you two will get along just splendid, she's already been at the door a few times
just begging to be let out, this is her home too and I can't keep you as a secret forever. You two will be like peanut butter
and jelly!

Duncan: Okay...
I think Duncan is nervous! he has collywobbles and trembles

They seemed to be surprised at the sight of each other at first.

Quail: Who is he? what's he doing her? mum, who is this mutt?
MsWildiful: He's your new brother and he'll be great!
Duncan: Hi, my name is Duncan...

Quail pounced on him.

Quail: I'll wrestle the stuffing outta you, just so you know who's boss!
Duncan: No way, I'm too strong! you can't pin me down
MsWildiful: Now play nice
Duncan growls*: That'll teach her

Quail: Mum! he licked me, I don't like him

Duncan continued to bark at her
MsWildiful: You two be nice to each other! they'll get along eventually..
Duncan and Quail growls...

Quail's inner thoughts...
Quail: Dear diary I can't believe mum brought home this little ankle bitter! his fur is orange like cheese, out of all colours!
gross, and he smells like old cheese and he can't even catch a Frisbee or jump through a hoop properly. Let me show you how it's done. ta ta,

That's how a true sports
dog does it, and he eats the unhealthiest food, Mashed potatoes! I only eat protein rich fish and meat, we're like complete

opposites! But we can both agree that chasing the auto-ball is fun, except when he licks it! ewww

Duncan: Golly, she's scary, she keeps snarling at me!

MsWildiful: She's never met another puppy before, especially a boy, don't worry, I'll teach her to be nice
Duncan: Hey, don't sit on me!

Quail: haha, you little punk

MsWildiful: They're both being pretty immature xD lol.
I had a feeling Quail would be the jealous type, so
Whenever quail growls at Duncan I'm going to put her away and train her
to behave, same with Duncan until they like each other. No way I could use the dreadful
infamous spray bottle *Shudders, A+ parenting skills. lol.

So I splurged and got another puppy I'll be naturally raising, but I promise this one will be the last one for a while! lol, maybe I've got puppy fever.

Meet Acadia, originally named Ariadne, I adopted her from Miss Ann Thrope who's super nice and breeds really lovely non inbred
Dalmatians. So, now welcoming our first purebred to the kennel, she's also 16th generation by the way.


Such a friendly tail wagger

MsWildiful: Hi puppy!
Acadia: Hi hi, are you my new owner? Blimey is so wonderful to meet you! thanks for adopting me, I love it here already!

MsWildiful: Yes, I'm your new owner. Would you like a bite to eat, your majesty? Here, choose from the buffet I've laid

out.
My thoughts: Jeez I hope she likes me, I'll refer to her as your majesty xD lol
Acadia: Hmmm....
Acadia is very chosey about her food.

Acadia: The fish is healthiest, but the dog food might be good and have gravy but it's made with fillers...
I choose the meat! what a treat



MsWildiful: Splendid choice.

Acadia: Delicious, also Why did you choose to adopt me?
Acadia inquired as she playfully barked, her ears perked and alert

MsWildiful: You looked so sweet with your red fur, I knew you were something special <3 and you'll fit in here great
Acadia: Red fur? why do I have red fur, none of my siblings or parents have red fur?

MsWildiful: Maybe you're just so sweet your love just seeps out through your fur and dyed it red



Acadia: Why'd you name me Acadia?

MsWildiful: My, I've never had a puppy ask me so many questions before! Well I love acacia trees but I've named many petz acacia before so I chose to name you Acadia, and you're heavenly like acacia trees
^_^

Acadia: aww, I'm special!

Such an inquisitive little pup, I love her already!

MsWildiful: You sure are. How about a treat?

Acadia: Yay, I want a tweaat

MsWildiful: Ok, I've laid out a huge pile of treats to see which one is your favourite, GO!

Acadia: Weeee, tweats! I like the candy cane, Yum a berry! and a sandwich, wow. I really like berries!



MsWildiful: Yay, now let's introduce you to Quail. She should like you, she's got some Dalmatian in her like you, and she can be a bit feisty but very playful! and don't be scared, she can smell fear.

Acadia: Okay, I'll try to be brave! I hope she likes me.
Acadia puffed out her chest and posed =P



She has more confidence and bravery than Duncan, that's for sure ^_^

MsWildiful: Wow, how brave!

Quail dines on some meat for breakfast in a separate room.

MsWildiful: Now Quail, we're welcoming another puppy into our home. She's so sweet and fun and you'll probably like her.

Quail: Another puppy? didn't you just get Duncan? That little furball is still pulling my tail! Om nom nom, I like this meat.

My thoughts: Quail's right, I might have a problem and be a Doggoholic



MsWildiful: It's okay, Acadia is different and polite. So just be nice please.

Acadia: Quail! Hi, nice to meet you!
Acadia smiled and grinned to try and make a good impression for Quail
Quail: Hey there, you must be the new puppy MsWildiful was talking about. I've been expecting you
Acadia seemed to love howling, I suppose she was so excited about meeting Quail she wanted to sing! Quail didn't like it though lol

Acadia: I have arrived and
Hey, that duck looks fun! it quacks.
Quail: don't touch my duck!
Quail Pounces on Acadia

Acadia growls: You're a pouncer! no fair, you're bigger than me!
The puppies tussled and laughed



Looks as if Quail tries establishing dominance over newcomers, just like she did with Duncan.

Quail: Acadia, what an unusual name. What do you like?

Acadia: Flowers, fun, balls, the colour red! and TWEATS

Quails: Tweats? don't you mean treats?

Acadia: Yeah! flavourful fun

Quail: you know, Acadia, You're not bad, you'll fit in here great!

Acadia: Yahooo! and my favourite food is meat



Quail: What? that's my favourite too! I need some, but I call dibs on all the meat first

MsWildiful: But Quail, you just ate

Acadia: I'll eat some potatoes then

Quail: Give me some potatoes!

MsWildiful: But you're eating from the plate only because Acadia wants it, jeez lol. Typical dogz being food greedy. I didn't even think Quail liked potatoes

They loved being brushed, and while I was brushing Quail Acadia started grooming her ^_^ Quail didn't growl at her once! Awww, they're gonna be besties they're so sweet



Quail: Mum, I know I didn't want us to have another puppy but can we keep her? pweassse <3



MsWildiful: Yes! of course

I'm so glad they get along

[Penny @ Just Dandy]

Ahhhhh, so big now! Quail is really growing up! <3

Ah, yes. My little lassie is getting so big, and she's having lots of fun with her new bestie Acadia I think she's 45 on the brainslider

[✬MsWildiful✬]

I apologize for the inactivity, I should definitely be giving my lovelies more attention <3 they deserve it

Today the pack is bright eyed and fluffy tailed! I decided to let them eat together, like friendly birds of a feather. Some
good socialization is important for all puppies, although unfortunately I sort of forgot about that with Quail when she was younger,
but better late then never. Perhaps being around some younger puppies that are Dalmatian mixies like herself will help teach
Quail to be nicer to others and set a good example for pups

Miss Ann Thrope your puppy's adventures at her new home
Quail -7 months old: Age 45 on brainslider
Duncan - 10 weeks old: Age 15 on brainslider
Acadia - 8 weeks old: Age 12 on brainslider


MsWildiful: You guys are all going to hang out together nicely as a polite pack
Quail: If this is a pack then I'm the oldest which makes me the alpha!
MsWildiful: The alpha of kindness!

I'm trying to raise them right, lol

They all bounded out together, such a friendly little parade of paws! I gave them many choices of food but they all preferred
meat, so I gave them extra meat. Then they all wanted to eat from the same chunk! trying to teach them cooperation, toleration

and niceness, not sure if it's working out.

Acadia: Quail, I want some!
Quail: Get your own
Acadia: But we should all be eating as a pack from the same meat! yours probably tastes the best too

Duncan: She's right, let's eat the same thing!

They were all about finished eating when Quail started gossiping

Quail: See Duncan over there? he looks like cheese and he's so clumsy!
Acadia: You're right, we should make fun of him!


They started harassing and barking at Duncan, grrrr meanies. Who knew puppies could be so mean?

2 minutes later

Acadia: Quail, this is too mean, poor Duncan we should stop.

I ended up putting Quail away because she
was the instigator

MsWildiful: That's not nice, you were clumsy when you were a puppy too! Time out, Quail
Quail: What? noooo

But a while ago before I put Quail away to teach her a lesson she got along pretty nice with Acadia, they wrestled and

Quail snatched the meat from her

Acadia: Quail! Come back with the meat!
Quail: muhahahha

later

Acadia and Duncan played together quite nicely, and enjoyed some good-natured wrestling.

Duncan: Good thing Quail's gone, she's always giving me a headache.
Duncan even waved at me with appreciation for saving him from Quail's annoying barks
Acadia: She says the same thing about you, but you're cool! you're good at play fighting
and your fur is so soft
Duncan:...

Awkward lol, maybe Acadia likes Duncan
Whatevers going on, they're definitely establishing some sort of hierarchy, a pecking order of some sort, but more like
a barking order. The lowest rank which happens to be Duncan gets barked at by everyone else lol
Alpha: Quail
Beta: Acadia (it rhymes! lol)
Omega: Duncan

Even though the pack ranking theory is a myth in real life, pretty sure it still exists in Petz anyway I just want them to all get
along <3

[griffy]

So cutee

[✬MsWildiful✬]

Thanks Griffy :3

Today I've decided I'm going to work on some basic obedience and commands with the puppies individually
It's not crucial to a puppies' development to learn commands such as sit and roll over but it's good practice and good etiquette,
especially for them to know something important such as when to come on command. My goal is for them to achieve their
Junior Trick dog title at some point in the future.


First up, the one and only Quail!
but first I've got to satisfy her ravenous apetite.

Golly, she's getting so big, she's blossoming into a good lassie

bon apetit!

Quail: Scrummy as always! thanks mum You know I love meat


Quail happily ate her fill, then she cheerfully bounced around with enthusiasm when I told her she was gonna learn some tricks.

It was like she was charged with electric energy! it was so delightful I created a gif of her jumping, enjoie.

soon after Duncan was just begging to be let out, I couldn't resist. These two are gonna have to learn to like each other
or at least get along,

I mean, after all they both have Dalmatian personalities so they can't be that different from each other

Quail: Grrrr, what's he doing here? he better not steal my meat

Duncan: I wasn't here to take your meat but if you think I'd do such a thing I'll show you!

Duncan and Quail growled at each other and was trying to be intimidating, they even had a staring contest, these two remind
me of our cats that don't get along xD constantly staring.

Quail leaped onto Duncan and tussled with him, which is a good sign although Quail's just trying to be the boss

over him. How did my timid little puppy grow into a bossy teenager? jeez, lol.

With no clear winner they broke apart and barked at each other, Duncan got worse than Quail so everytime he
barked that harassment bark at Quail I held him by scruffing him a few times until he stopped and then praised him,
then they tolerated each other good I figured mother dogs hold their puppy when they're naughty, so it worked! heh.
Hopefully through my puppy raising experience I can figure out some new training techniques and possibly pass
on my tips to others if other people's petz don't get along, but who knows, I'm no professional.

I'm sure they'll grow together as they mature fingers crossed they end up liking each other.

See? Look how good they're tolerating each other, I pet them with praise ^_^ They should be acting more mature as they age.

Okay, with Quail full it's time for her to learn.

Let's do some trick recital.

Wave

Quail: Yippee!

MsWildiful Awww... Hey don't get distracted with the panda now

Quail: But it's so plush and biteable! rawrr

She batted it out of the toy case =P

Leap left!

Quail: Yahooo.

She already knows a couple tricks. So let's she what else she can be taught!

I wiggled the fishie treat right a few times, until eventually she tried rolling over and I really liked it!

I captured the training process :3

Quail: Hmm, what do I have to do for the treat?... I'll leap right! no? Grrr I'll just hold onto the treat! what do you want me to roll

like an old barrel or something?

MsWildiful: Sure! that's delightful, keep doing that.

Quail: Wow!

5 minutes later, she's mastered the roll over trick, hooray! Jolly good lass. She gets some fishie biscuits for her good work.

She's a good student. More obedience with the other pups coming soon

[Miss Ann Thrope]

Lovely to see her progress ^_^ I'm so pleased you like her, and love the name!

[✬MsWildiful✬]

Today I'm going to spend some good quality time with Duncan and teach him his first trick Basic Obedience and learning
commands is good for all puppies, and while Duncan is still a young little lad, it'll help him establish a good supply of
curiosity and interest for learning and listening to commands as he matures.

MsWildiful: Top of the morning Duncan! I sure hope you are bright eyed and fluffy pawed cause today we're going to warm up on some new Obedience

Duncan looked pretty intrigued and enthusiastic, but he looks as if he should satisfy his appetite soon before we get into training.

Meanwhile, he  bounced around playing with the cat-dancer

MsWildiful: The choice is yours, I've laid out a variety of foods all prepared nicely for you in this all new cozily
decorated play-scene. But let's also groom that precious pelt of yours with this blue bristly brush.

Duncan seems to enjoy being brushed but also feels a little awkward, if a dog isn't used to being brushed it can
feel weird being rubbed with a bristly item, sometimes dogz may even go as far as to bite the brush! my real dog used

to do that, he still likes it as a chew-toy xP

With a properly combed coat, I showed him to our new lounge-like room.

Duncan: Oh my, it's so groovy here, the warm crackling fire is so inviting,
wonder what Quail will think... Speaking of Quail I'm gonna kick her butt! but I'll practice

on this scratching post first

*Duncan pummled the scratching post and batted it around

MsWildiful: Oh no mister, violence never solves anything. Kill her with kindness, even if she resorts to pouncing maybe you should
resort to... politeness.

Duncan: Hmmf, she can't boss me around and expect me to take it!

The hunger must be making him angry, he needs to just pick a plate

Duncan sniffed at the bowl of fish with curiosity and tried some

Fish is rich in Calcium, magnesium, potassium and Omega-3 fatty acids so it's great he's not too picky and willing to

eat some healthy nutritious food

Duncan: Wow! it tastes as good as it is healthful, no wonder Quail eats this stuff!

I just wont tell him that fish has some degree of mercury, so he won't be eating it all the time...

Duncan: I also like these potatos right c'here

MsWildiful: It's good to try different food

He's also interested in nibbling some meat off the bone, nothing like some hearty protein to top off a superb lunch

MsWildiful: Okay now you're treating this like an all you can eat buffet, party's over and time for training.

Duncan: Aww noo

MsWildiful: It's ok, you had your flavourful fun! jeez you remind me of my real dog who tastes and eats everything. Don't
worry, you can still earn some treatz! after all I have more treatz in the pantry than I have different kinds of foodz.

Duncan: Treatz are Grrr-refic! (Terrific xD bad pun)

MsWildiful: Okay, so here's how this is going to work, we'll start with the fun yellow cat treat and-

Duncan: But I'm not a cat!

MsWildiful: stay with me, dogz like it too! So then I'm going to wave it up and down and all around and you do some
fancy maneuvers, ok?

Duncan: Sounds good to meow!

MsWildiful: Oh, listen at you lol

Duncan: Like this? or this?

MsWildiful: let me get the treatz!

Duncan: boy I sure do love carrying this star ball around, makes me feel like I can shine like a star!

What funky thing is Duncan doing with his tail here is he part monkey?! smonikkims you gave me a monkey and you never told me! XD

Duncan loves waddling around, so precious ^_^ I just love his Scottie ears, and those few sweet spots he has, and that
brown and orange fur, so glad that smonikkims gave him to me

MsWildiful: Ok, here we go.

I gestured down a few times with the fishie snack, although Duncan only wanted to calmly lie down,
looking for something a little more flashy I waved up, first Duncan pawed at the treat, then he
began offering a really cute trick! A nice little beg with those paws up, tongue out and eyes so big! it seemed
perfect so I rewarded him, he was like a little Meerkat sitting up ^_^ I made a gif of him begging and it almost looks like

he's dancing as he's wiggling xP

MsWildiful: Jolly good lad, you're doing excellent
Duncan: Hooray! Now I can beg!

Now whenever I gesture up he begs everytime, he was a quick learner

I gave him pets and pats

Although he did try stealing the treat box once...

MsWildiful: Come back here with the treatz!

Duncan: They're all mine now! an infinite box of treaterinos woo hooo!

He's a bit of a handful, but I love him! <3

[✬MsWildiful✬]

Time to see my sweet delightful little Quail again, I would have sooner but life got in the way again (grrrr, hospital visits)

but I'm grateful to be well again and able to see and play with my petz

I got Quail to come out and see me, she was just the fun furry frenzy I remember! energetic and vibrant, she was so zestful
and happy to see me as she danced and glittered around and rolled out her tongue then she ran around with the starball
Quail: I'm so happy to see you! I'm going to shine like a shooting star
MsWildiful: Yay! You go girl

She didn't appear to have much of an appetite at first so I brought her out to the playpen with a few new toyz.
A weighted wooden toy, a floppy bunny, an octopus, and a towel! That should get the appetite flowing

Quail was frisky as she frolicked around, crinkling the tin foil toy in her mouth, and happily tackling the octopus with a sweet

smile of appreciation.

Quail: What on earth am I suppose to do with this?

MsWildiful: It's suppose to strike your curiosity and whimsical nature
Quail: What does that even mean? it's a piece of wood

MsWildiful: It's just an interesting piece of enrichment to encourage that growing apetite of yours

Quail: oh, ok. Smells like paint? and it's really heavy
Quail looked sort of puzzled and had no idea why I gave her this
MsWildiful: It's fresh wood, and you carry it for exercise!
Quail: But mum I'm a dog, just because you carry a weight while you walk for exercise doesn't mean you should

enslave your petz to do it

This is getting so off topic lol lol

MsWildiful: *rolls eyes. Have fun!

Quail managed to carry the wooden weight for a few steps, and even ran around with it, like a cute little pack puppy

Quail: This is quite a fun challenge carrying the weight
MsWildiful: aww, see what I mean? Work those jaw muscles, now someday you'll have a bite force like a hyena!
Quail: Grrrr, I could become a police dog! I'm gonna be able to bite everyone
MsWildiful: Uhhh no don't bite everyone xD
Quail: Rawwwrr

Quail furiously wiggles around on the floor shaking the weight

hahaha, She's so... different, and unique, and silly just like me, I love her XP

She also seemed to enjoy the towel, looking at it quite playfully and delightfully! she carried it around and I wiped her with the towel,
it seemed to fuel her healthy supply of creativity and liveliness like it should New toyz always do the trick, fills her heart with

wonder.

Quail: It's so soft and plush! it's like a fun blanket

MsWildiful: Let's bring out Acadia, but make sure to play nice with your sister!

Quail: Hooray!
Friendliness and playful nature shined in Quail's cotton candy pink eyes, and I couldn't wait to begin socializing her today.

Acadia: Hellooo Quail, whatcha got there?

Quail: My wooden weight, we can carry it around and become stronger! let's be muscular pups.

The two nicely scuffled and exchanged amiable affectionate glances. Acadia chose to eat some tasty leftovers.
Then I put them away so I could bring out Duncan
to eat in peace.

Duncan: What's up? certainly not my hunger slider so can I have some grub?

MsWildiful: Yes, foods!

Duncan decided to eat the vitamin D rich fish and he slurped it down.
Duncan: Uh, I think I ate too much fish!
Duncan held his belly
Duncan: But maybe you can never eat too much fish, I'm immune to overeating! my stomach is a black hole!

Not sure that's how it works lol

Now let's take out Quail so she can be with Duncan...

Duncan: Ah yes, here comes Queen Quail, let's hope she doesn't flap her feathers in my face *Sarcasm
lol

MsWildiful: You guys get along, you're more similar than you think. Sisi ni sawa means We are the Same in swahili, so keep
that in mind... (The Lion Guard reference lol)

Duncan bounded out and snacked on some meat, the two tolerated each other

Quail: Hey, he's almost as big as me now! grrrr

Quail and Duncan didn't play together at first, but they did look at each other with sibling rivarly angry eyes, but I think they've let it
go, they're not harassing each other so that's nice they do like having staring contests... and when I took some photos
they both were posing right next to each-other like the showoffs they are xP
