Elkie comes for a visit

A few weeks ago, we did a puppy swap with Elkie who is one of Emmy's sisters! For three days, Elkie came to stay with us, while Emmy went to live with her parents. It certainly was fun to see what another dog is like and we had fun with Elkie. We could definitely see how dogs grow differently based on their surroundings. Being in a college residence hall, there is always noise of doors opening, people walking by, and we live near train tracks so that adds quite a bit too. Emmy has become so accustomed to it that we don't think about it much...but Elkie definitely noticed.

While Elkie was here we got a chance to go to a community picnic being held on Hope's campus and then we went to the first part of Hope's home football game! She did very well at the picnic and had a lot of fun!

Thanks for coming to stay with us Elkie!
