Jeff has been taking her to work with him and she is really bonding with us all. She has gotten to play at the dog park as well as meet several of the neighbor dogs on walks as well had a few play dates in the back yard. She has finally explored her entire back yard and knows all the places to run like the wind when she is excited and feeling playful, including around and under the pool deck, around the boat, behind the shed, etc. Although I am sure she can't wait until the rainy season is over as she is very particular at times with NOT wanting to walk in muddy wet grass (or in the rain in general). Several times on our morning walks, she has put her foot down (or more literally her butt) and stopped to say, "I don't want to walk in the rain anymore", looking up at me with her puppy dog eyes. She has a new purple rain coat that has helped with this situation but thinking a hat is in order or something as she doesn't like her velvety ears to get wet. ;-)
The kids continue to be reminded that she is still a puppy. We have had a few shoe and toy casualties but it is a good lesson for them to learn to keep their things put away or doors closed to their bedrooms while we are out of the house. Lilly really enjoys breakfast and dinner time, as well as playing with her new toys. She has been very inquisitive with all food in the house but has been getting better with her counter surfing.
Holiday photo of our family with Lilly, attached. She still is a nibble kisser but we love that about her. We are looking forward to starting obedience class with her next week with the whole family but overall she is doing great and we are so happy to have found her!
Maybe we'll see you next weekend at the dog show in Portland.
Cheers,
Shelly, Jeff, Rylie, and Logan Mix
