Updates from 4

Good grief, has it really been that many weeks since a post was done?  Well I can honestly say that the M&M kids  have been busy.  Milo checked in with this cute picture and a few words.

Milo was at a pool party this weekend.  In the last hour of the last day the neighborhood pool is open they allow dogs to come in and swim.  Milo was a little reluctant about going into the water, but I had him swimming in the baby pool and even got him into the big pool.  There were maybe 20 dogs and they all had great fun running around the grassy area just past the pool.


From the look on his face I would say that he had a great time.

Then Ann sent the following about Ella...

Ella continues to be a joy & a challenge. She is a fearless ball of curiosity & seems to come up with something new every day. A few nites ago I walked in to the bedroom to find her proudly telling me that she'd prefer sleeping on our bed than n her crate. 

 

Nice try Ella but it's gonna be a long time till you earn the privilege of sleeping free!

 

Thanks for sharing with us Art and Ann!

Swing and Hank started handling class last week and wouldn't you know, the first night was a tad chilly!  The first night we went over the types of show leads that are out there and we worked on head control.  All of the puppies met the each handler and we did some walking on lead to get everyone up and moving and for our instructor to see everyone move.  Our second class started with a lesson on how to hand stack and then everyone was put up on the grooming table and stacked.  From there we went on to stacking in a ring setting with all of the others dogs.  Finally we did some gaiting on a down and back and finally an around the ring.  Even our Bouvier classmate did a nice job!  We'll try to get some pictures of the pups to post in future updates.  Both of them are growing like weeds and developing quite nicely and this weekend they all turn 16 weeks old.
