Joe was a hefty puppy at birth. even still in his sac, I remarked to myself how heavy and solid he felt.  At birth, he was a rich caramel, with a whitish face.  (See photo journal below).  For most of the temp test he wiggled and struggled to get away. Grunts and protest sounds.

Overall quiet, curious, soaking it all in.  Still and accepting for the dangle, loose and accepting for the turn over. Sustained eye contact.  Stayed right with me following as I moved backwards. Tried to play with my notebook and pen. Wagged a little for petting.  Wary of hands around his head, but not head shy.  Sat quietly for a moment when returned to the nest. Found the opening of the nest and tried t come out. When I pushed him back he cried then fell asleep.
