Day 2!

We had such a busy day yesterday that Mary actually slept pretty well! We went to bed early around 10:30 pm, she whined to go out at 12:30 am and 4am. I took her out and she peed. Normally I limit the puppy's water at 7pm, but she came dehydrated, so I want to make sure she's getting plenty of water.

Today we worked on her name, sit, recall and crate training. She is really improving in the crate! A few fussy minutes, but then she settles down and sleeps with her toy.

It's funny, Mary eats very slow like her Great Grandma Chandra (aka Shawn). It would take Shawn 5 minutes to eat 1 cup of food. Mary eats each piece and makes sure she chews it all the way. I don't think I'll have to use a slow bowl with her!

Some snuggles before going to bed. A little bonding session too. 

Keys! It's great to get puppies used to all sorts of different items. Metal is something that they will have to pick up as a Graduate dogs. 

Puppy class wore her out! Today we just had people meet her and I held her on my lap. She fell asleep on the pool table while the basic puppy class was going over Q&A's with a wonderful Gold Rush Chapter Grad. 

Mary thought carrying the newspaper was great! She was very happy about her accomplishment. 

Checking out the Basic puppy class. These puppies are around 6 months old. 

A little rain won't stop us. Our contract trainer in Sacramento always says that Service Dogs work in the rain, so we will too! 

Mary loves this bed! I bought it about 3 weeks before Shawn passed away. I'm so happy that she will get to enjoy this bed that her Great Grandma did.
