Charlie is right-off-the-bat sensitive to vibrations, heat and is active and squeely.  He seems to want to always be tucked under things.  For the turn over he tucked himself in tight and stayed stock still. Like a roly poly bug. For the dangle he was very stiff and grunty.   Placed back in the nest he cried out for help from mom who nudged him in the right direction. Took him a while fall back to sleep.

NS excercises seemed to have done wonders for this boy.  He still is sensitive to vibrations, and when his eyes and ears opened he didn't take to the change very well.  He would hide toward the back of the pile and darned if he didn't do that roly-poly bug thing again when stressed. By 21 days he is adjusting to life well.  As soon as he found out about solid food he seemed to switch on, no longer hiding but eagerly approaching the weaning dishes.  He's going to be a handsom fella, reminds me of his dad St. Stephen

He has earned the nick-name "Fun-Time Charlie".  Unless he's hungry then it's "Charlie Don't Surf".  cause he gets kind of "hangry".   I can tell if its supper time because Charlie will be down there bouncing on everyone.  Even his mom Moon rolls her eyes at his antics. Once he's full then he is really the funest puppy of the bunch. The most responsive as well, picking up on novel exercises quickly.  Still aloof to people, he is warming up quicker than he used to.  Shows enthusiasm for his recall, being one of the first pups to come running for recall.
