Fall, ears and kongs: 12 1/2 weeks old




All is well here in Winnipeg. Wednesday and Thursday was 'Take your pet to work day'...ok...I don't think my workplace actually has a day like that, but I smuggled her in to my office building anyway! She met over 30 people one day and 20 the next, and was the belle of the ball with all of them. She looks very beautiful in the fall leaves too. She's loves snuggling and jumping right into Elizabeth's arms! Our vet stopped in the other day to see her and claimed she was the best behaved/most cooperative puppy she's ever met.

About once a day, she goes absolutely wild with her kong and races around, circling between living room, dining room and kitchen. the photo of her racing around the corner on 1 leg (because the other 3 are in the air due to her speed taking the corner!) shows her agility taking the hairpin turn!She is such a nice dog and is quite a character. The other evening I was reading a book and her bed was about 15 feet away from me. I called her over to come sit with me, and she came over promptly and lied down at my feet. She was lying there for about 1min, and then she got up, walked over to her bed and dragged it to my feet and then hopped on it! She's getting good at doing the 'moon-walk' on the hardwood floors, but haven't caught it on video yet.

Her ears are ever so expressive right now. She has this incredible ability to cross them vertically over each other, almost at will. She starts puppy socialization classes on Nov 7th and puppy obiedence shortly there after.
