This week is the last week for puppy school, and the puppies are getting nervous about the upcoming final exam and graduation.
Mr. C and Miss M completely stressed. Can't you tell?
Miss M: "You didn't say anything about a test. You said ride. You said puppy school. You said good puppy. You never said test." Miss B: "I can't take the pressure. I'm just going to lay on the floor in the middle of Petsmart." Mr. M: "That's okay Miss B. I'll just lay here too and use you as a pillow." Miss S: "Ooh. I think I see the treat aisle."
The puppies really like puppy school. Even Miss B who was scared of walking around the store at first, thinks she owns the place now. They know where the classroom is. They know where the water is, and they know where to go for potty breaks.
They are getting better and better at following directions. We've had them "leave it" at the beach walking past dead birds and fish so many times, that they didn't even bother going near the dead baby bird that we found in our yard today. We discovered that there is a nest in our grapefruit tree- complete with a mama bird. The baby was super young and must have fallen out during the high winds last night. We were proud of the puppies for not messing with it. This evening, the puppies were all playing with something that I didn't recognize. All five of them were pulling on it, but we couldn't figure out what it was. I told them all to drop it, and they all let go at the same time! It turned about to be one of Dad's mittens that had fallen on the floor when he was cleaning his closet. I was happy that we were able to save the mitten, but I was even happier that all of the puppies dropped the mitten when I told them to, even though they were really having a good time pulling on it.
So I guess tomorrow, we will have to make sure that all of their basic skills are strong so that they don't have any trouble passing their exams.
