New Experiences

Now that the puppies are getting older and bigger, we're starting to prepare them for their new homes. They've been spending full days outside in the puppy yard and are now sleeping in crates at night. Some nights have gone better than others, but certainly less clean up for me in the mornings! Plus, we're saving newspapers for Claire and Phoebe!
I took Puppy Boy with me to buy dog food last weeks at my sister's store in Berryville, then stopped by my parents' for a quick visit. He wasn't too sure about being without his siblings but quickly adjusted. He was great with the leash and collar.
Last night was Mahogany's turn. We met our son and daughter-in-law for outside dining at a favorite restaurant. The pup was the hit of the evening! He also did great with the leash and collar, was able to climb stairs like a veteran and ambled down the streets of Leesburg as if this was a regular thing. He was fussed over, carried around, got to see other dogs besides collies and met quite a few children. It was a wonderful socializing time!
