Awwww! Robyn, no fair!

What a beautiful puppy!

Ayla is adorable. That octopus is as big (or bigger) than she is! I'll bet she is a doted on little girl!!

Such a cute girl!! It's so sweet to see how she is 'pawing' at the toy
-
She's soooo cute!
-
I wasn't able to get anyone to come over to help with 5 week old stacked pics so here are some cute pics of Ayla
Cat toys make fun playthings for very young puppies

Ayla "explores" the most patient Basenji in the universe with my puppies, 11 year old Pippin. Pippin is Ayla's great-grandmother

After a long playtime adventure, a pooped out Ayla naps next to mama Bindi

Just turning 6 weeks, learning to be a showdog.

Ok, can I get down and play now?
-
She's so cute and chunky! She looks good though Robyn!
-
She looks great! All the photos of her are adorable
She is still quite a little butterball. & typical basenji, falling asleep upside down, wedged between her mom & a entertainment center :p -
She looks really good!! Lovely puppy!

What a cute little ham!! She certainly knows how to keep her audience entertained. Ayla is adorable and has so much personality.

I am a bit embarrassed to say that was me. :o

She was not interested in playing show dog and she didn't want to bring her ears up.
Ayla has proven to be difficult to wean off the nipple. Although she has pretty much stopped producing milk, Bindi still lets her nurse for brief periods. Ayla isn't overly picky about whose nipple she is attached too and she tries to nurse off Pippin and Jozie also.
Ayla with Jozie
She finally gave up on the "empty faucet" and snuggled with Jozie instead.
Steph and Chris brought their 13 year old Basenji Luna over a few days ago to meet Ayla. Luna wasn't very interested in her and basically ignored her. That is a considerably better reaction than when the adult dog acts aggressive. I think things will work out just fine.
Since Ayla has no siblings, we took her to another breeder's house to play with her puppies. They were 10 weeks old so they were bigger and more robust than Ayla so we only let 2 at a time play with her. Ayla was a bit appalled at those ruffians lol! I think Ayla prefers playing with my slow cats that just lay there when she plays with them.
This puppy has been a real joy to raise. She is extraordinarily clean and she has not pooped in the puppy pen, not once, in 3 weeks. She does not soil her crate at all. She is about 99% housetrained to do her poops outside and about 80% housetrained for her piddles. (The "oopsies" are usually my fault for not getting to her in time.) Bite inhibition training is almost complete and she is rock solid on startle reflex training. I'm really proud of how smart and easily trained this girl is. She has truly been a joy.

Glad to hear that Ayla is doing so well. She is certainly a cutiepie!
Also, good news that her first meeting with her new sibling went well
