Puppy Class & Reunions

Puppy Class @ Paws

Today we went to puppy class which is always exciting, but today was especially exciting. First of all, Bill is done with church activities on Wednesday nights (at least for the summer), so now the three of us can go to puppy class instead of just Emmy and myself. Second, we were able to see several of Emmy's siblings- Emu, Elwood, and Emma! Emmy and Emma haven't seen each other in a while and they enjoyed being able to "catch up"! We can't get over how much the two of them look alike, especially since most of the rest of "E" puppies look different than each other. We were also early to class so we were able to take Emmy out to the fenced in play yard to let her run around. Boy does she like that!

Emmy is doing very well in classes. We have been working a lot on heeling and staying recently and Emmy is really picking up on it. We did have to laugh though. At one point we were asked to get the dogs excited by rubbing them, talking to them, etc to give them some physical love as an affirmation. Most of the dogs got really excited and jumpy...but Emmy...well, Emmy just loved the rubbing and actually just put her head down on Bill's knee and looked like she would fall asleep! Silly pup!
