Being a puppy is tiring!

Sorry for the lack of pupdates. My internet has been spotty.

Yesterday was Audrey's first official grooming! I took her and Spencer out to Paws and Claws (our breeder owns and operates a boarding kennel) to get them groomed and let them play with some of their dogs.

Spencer, who I am clearly mistaken about, was a perfect gentleman with everyone. Usually I say that he is iffy around other dogs because of his reputation for getting picked on/attacked at the dog park. Even Wicket the Borzoi (who honestly, might be the only dog in the world I've ever been scared of at first sight because she's so huge and breathtaking) didn't phase him. He hung out/ran around with a Flat Coated Retriever, a Springer Spaniel, a Silky Terrier (more on her later), a Corgi, a Field Spaniel, and the Borzoi and Audrey.

Audrey, on the other hand, has this effect on other dogs. They all want to eat her. Everyone was fine at first but then the Silky decided Audrey would be a nice snack and was determined to eat her face. Then the Big Dogs decided to all sniff Audrey at the same time so she was flopped on her back, kicking her legs in the air and simultaneously showing her teeth just in case. Once we got the Silky put in another kennel run, we brought out Quest (the puppy that our breeder chose to keep from Audrey's litter). So Quest comes barreling out and also decides that Audrey needs to be eaten. After a few loud and toothy scraps we decide that maybe it's not a good idea to have them play together. Later though Audrey did get to play with a crazy, gorgeous 1yo Pomeranian who Spence even played with.

In addition to the socializing with other dogs, Audrey also heard a lawnmower, walked on a wooden slatted thingy, said HI to the cat, and got groomed. It was her 2nd bath, but her first time getting her nails clipped, her paw hair was trimmed, and her head, neck, and ears got shaved.

As far as people go Audrey's met probably close to her 100 people thus far. I had a small get together last week, she met my Aunt today, and I'm having a party tomorrow. She gets a car ride nearly every evening too. She's also gone to PetSmart once a week since I got her so I think we're doing pretty well.
