All photos were taken 11-28 in a 90 minutes period as the sun was going down, some with flash and others without. Therefore, the vagaries in lighting and color.

On the TV show M*A*S*H, Hotlips hated it when Donald called her "sturdy." Sonic doesn't mind at all for she is indeed a nice and sturdy girl. Sonic is Oslo's daughter in every way.

Seiko has an altogether different look. All three puppies in this litter look very different from each other. This photo clearly shows why Seiko reminds me so much of Nexus at this age. She looks just like a feminized version of Nexus who is her mother's brother.

Both girls love to track! Their latest track was 210 yards long with an acute turn and a right turn, through two changes of cover. Fun!

You can see that Seiko, who has more coat and undercoat than Sonic, is just beginning to turn color from brown to red, starting with her face.

Sonic has a shorter, sleeker coat and has pretty much turned red all over.

Now romping and chasing near the pond, Sonic broadsides Seiko.

Seiko follows up with a mouthful of Sonic. That's her rogue look that the camera caught, she changes form like a screen saver.

Sonic listens to a farm dog bark in the distance. Camera angle here does make her look a bit, um, sturdier than she is.

Sonic has tremendous working potential. She will go to a home where it will be developed and used.

Seiko is biting weeds. Everything goes into the mouths of puppies. Everything.

Seiko will stay with me.

Sage is in Illinois with her new owner Maxine Brinker.
