Running and Playing

Just a few pictures from this morning's session on the ball field.

Puppy's First Bath

Faye had her first bath at Belly scRubs today.

Faye was not happy with the bath.

She did seem to enjoy meeting the staff and some of the other customers and exploring the place while we waited our turn. Afterwards, we went to McDonald's for some chicken nuggets. Faye is a good traveler; so far she just relaxes in the back seat, just like Siri.

Puppy's First Snow video

I only just figured out how to post a video here. This is from the other day.

Nine Weeks Old

Faye is nine weeks old and weighs 13.2 lbs. We went to the doctor for some more puppy vaccines and then to PetSmart for some puppy pads. She did pretty well in both places, not at all timid about exploring or meeting new people or puppies. She travels well, too, staying pretty calm in the back seat of the car after the first couple minutes.

More Puppy Pictures

These were taken today on what was the longest walk Faye has gone on so far, about a half mile, without being carried part of the way.

This time it was just Siri and Faye on the walk - Brea was busy chewing on a rawhide and not interested in leaving it. Walking this puppy and even one of the big dogs is exhausting, as I have to watch for traffic and other dog walkers, as well as try not to step on Faye, who tends to walk very close to me.

 Still, she's learning how to walk in a small group. She alternates between being under foot and wanting to walk alongside one of the big dogs.

And she's learning her way around the neighborhood and starting to recognize landmarks.

The first thing she did when we got home this morning was head straight for the kitchen and lay down next to the pantry where I keep the dog food. Can't get any clearer than that about what she wants.
