Mi-Ki Mother, Mi-Ki puppies

Quinn and Patti, his mom

Joy

 I realize we're several days after Mother's Day, but I had the chance to get this great picture and wanted to share.
Mi-Ki mothers like Patti are amazing in the way they seem to understand how to deal with their puppies differing personalities. Quinn, who looks very much like his mother and inherited her spunky personality, can expect quick and efficient discipline from her when his puppy antics get out of hand. With Joy's more gentle, cautious temperament, she actually invites her to play and is careful not to be too harsh with her. She's helping both puppies have a balanced, positive role in our little 'pack'--at least until Joy finds her forever home!
