Day two of Puppy Kindergarten, and I swear it was just like bowling for puppies- and our dog was the ball. ::sigh:: After the first few minutes of interaction they divide the class into two groups: high-energy and -low, with the idea that by doing so the lower-energy pups won't be overwhelmed. What that actually means is that on one side we have Isis and Bernese puppy (ie, big enough to stay standing during the enthusiastic greetings of Isis), and then on the other side are all the other puppies. She's exuberant, our pig. It makes me feel like a terrible dog mom because my puppy is so completely unaware of the fact that she's just Way Too Much for most of the other puppies.
At least she calms down after the first ten minutes or so, and quits bouncing so much. (She really is a
Tigger of a dog- doesn't
quite get that not everyone is as thrilled by bouncing as she is... but we're working on that...)
Also? Man our dog is
gassy. Possibly we could use her for some biological warfare...

Furthermore, my life is now the sort of life that involves cleaning freeze-dried-liver out of my backpack. Yep.
Oh puhleaze!! Gassy? That's just your husband using the age honored excuse of puppy presence.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it would help if you took her for a long walk, or had a play period at home right before she goes to class?

Sadly Isis out-does Nathan on the noxious-fumes front. Truly, hers is a manly colon. Also, we actually DO wear her out before class. She is just too full of beans, I suppose...
