9-1-11 PO3 Goes Up and Over R5AY

Thank you Karen Turner for a great series of shots of this not so little kid climbing up and over mom. Also want to take this opportunity to thank Karen.... She has provided numerous shifts of sitting with mom and pup not just this year but last year as well.... and she does this while she is here visiting.  Wish we could convince you to stay year round as your service and dedication is invaluable...  

Also want to say there has been several conversations regarding R5AY being aggressive with the pup.... For those who have sat with her since she started giving birth in this area this seems to be R5AY's  "M.O."  What I would say to all of you observing this behavior is to note if there are any wounds on pup or mom and be sure to report them ( get photos if you can)....  One last thing.... it's not always mom being the aggressive one, reports have also been PO3 has been biting at mom and we're not talking just nibbles....  In the end let's hope all it is ... R5AY raises a tough bunch of bullies. 

 She's getting soooo big

Can someone confirm if all these marks are either changes to her coat or scratches.... she is definitely showing the change in the muzzle so I just wasn't sure.
