Well, the gods were not with me and there was NO STORM last night. So, when Mom went home to feed everyone she left ME and Quincy right over in the kennel. I was not happy, but Quincy told me she would be back and to "buck up, baby!"
Sure enough, Mom DID come back and next she put my collar and leash on. Hmmm, this does not bode well! Pretty soon, other puppies started coming, accompanied by their people. Quincy seemed to know them all, and he was welcoming them.
All I could see was that I was smaller than any one of their tails, BOL! I am sure I would have completely broken if one of them stepped on me! Mom put me in my little pen while they were working on their walking so I helped by barking at them, BOL!
Pretty soon it was time to demonstrate the new work. This week it was learning to turn around and come to their owner when they called them. Mom took me out on my leash, she told me to sit and....I DID!!! She was SHOCKED so she asked me again and I sat again. Guess all those lessons those girls have been giving me have paid off, huh?
Anyway, I heeled along beside Mom, she called me and backed up and I raced right up to her to eat the kitty food she had. Pretty good!! Everyone was cheering me on, BOL! (Well, everyone except Quincy...he was jealous, hehehe)
The only other thing I had to do was heel around everyone while they were doing their sits and downs. Mom called it distraction training, BOL. I say, they were certainly distracted!!!! It was okay cuz after a few times they stayed right where they were supposed to be, for the most part.
Finally, it was puppy play time. Fortunately, Mom put ME back in my pen for that part. I KNOW they thought I was a squeaky toy!!!
