Sorry it's been so long... law review, you know.
We went to the vet and got out LAST puppy shots! She weighs 12 lbs and she's a DOG now, officially. Also means we can go to parks, the river, the dog park and other places. It's very exciting and it leads me to the rest of today's news...
Today we walked all the way to the park down the street. It was our longest walk in terms of distance from home and we had to cross the street 5 times! The sitting before crossing and waiting for the OK will take us a while, I'm thinking. We'll see.
We also went to a dog park this afternoon. Two lessons: #1, dog parks aren't fun without other dogs and #2 take REALLY good treats because chasing a Shiba over 3.5 acres just isn't any fun. While there, Dippy lost her first canine! Bottom right (her right). She was a little upset and it cut our stay at the boring dog park short (which was fine with both of us, I think). We'll try again later when it's cooler and more people are home from work and might bring their dogs.
Meanwhile she's still our little angel. We have graduation from puppy training next Tuesday and she' doig great (except for "come" obviously which is not a Shiba trait). She knows shake now as well as sit, down, wait, and we're getting better at leave it (as long as Mommy has treats). She also learned a new word this week which is "ball." She will go get her ball when you tell her to, as opposed to any of her other 1,000,000 toys. She's so smart! I'm so proud!
