Still a Silly Puppy

This silly puppy continues to make me laugh on a daily basis.I had Katie help me with this video because I'm not very good at walking a puppy and trying to capture video. I know someday soon she will no longer be this goofy, so while she is, I would like to try and capture as many silly moments as I can (she usually has all four legs spread eagle, but this was close).

I wish I could record all of the noises she makes while sleeping, but to this point have been unsuccessful. I will keep trying.

She is doing great at work. We go out about three times a day to practice "hurry" and then walk a little to use up some energy. Then back to my office where she insists that she is already a "good" dog and doesn't need to get back in her kennel.

Something About My Purse :-)

Showing Just a Little Attitude Here

This little puppy has grown so much in the last week and a half, I'm beginning to get worried. It seems that each time she awakes from a nap she is bigger. Playtime is even different with the other dogs now that she is bigger (and a little more clumsy). She was running around the house with Bailey last night and Bailey stopped in the middle of the floor and Mariko, not paying attention, running full speed, ran head-on into Bailey's backside. Both dogs just sat at looked at each other, Katie, Joe, and I laughed until tears ran down our cheek. Oh puppies.

Today was the first day for me to try and hit the club in the morning and have the family help me with Mariko. Hopefully we will be able to continue until she is old enough to go with me. I got up 30 minutes before I usually do, took all three dogs out for their morning constitutional. Then it was time for everyone to eat while I put my workout clothes on. Then we all got some play time in, well, actually I think Ginger and I curled up by the couch while Mariko and Bailey ran around the family room. Everyone was back in their respective kennels by 6:30 for me to run out the door for a 7 a.m. cardio class. For the most part, we did okay, I think :-) I did have to go back to the house after about 6 blocks because I forgot my clothes, and then realized after I was already at the club that my hair brush and dryer were still at the house :-( Fortunately there was a dryer (pretty poor, but it worked) at the club and I had a small brush in my bag. I am really anxious for us to be able to go together so she can work on her skills in a more hectic environment (well, more hectic than our house is).

Each day we both continue to learn more about each other and I hope she is having as much fun as I am
