Active puppy with a nice body and muzzle. Every time I look in the nest it seems like she's re-adjusting herself.   3 day temp tests showed her to be reactive to touch and takes a minute to think about perceived changes in environment before deciding she doesn't like anything at all ever.  Flinches when her head is touched.  Calms with gentle  swaddling.  Dove under her siblings when put back in the nest.

Lucy likes it when things are calm and quiet. When mom re-enters the nest after some time away all the pups will clamor to feed except Lucy. She seems to wait until things are calmer before trying to eat.  This is good behaviorally, but a concern that shes not getting the best of the available milk. ENS went well for her, with no struggle by the 3rd day.

At the six week temp tests Lucy excelled to high score, but truthfully she does not exhibit those scores in everyday life that I can see. Close but not quite. She is not as confident as they indicated, always hanging back to "see what happens" when I go down in the morning.  Nice solid girl with a pleasant disposition and warming smile
