Well, she did it. Puppy class graduate! Doesn't she look proud of herself?
I'm not sure what our final grade was. Maybe a C-. We weren't the best in the class, but we certainly weren't the worst. Which is good, considering Minnie is almost 3 and everybody else isn't even 1 yet. It's ok. We had to start from scratch. We have issues.
Our teacher said we can start in an adult doggy obedience class now. I'm sort of intrigued by this "flyball" class, where they learn to do little retrieving stunts and doggy relays. We need to work on "come" first, though. A lot lot lot. But something like that would be good for Minnie. I think she's one of those dogs that needs something to focus on in order to behave. I know we need to go ahead and sign up for the next class, but I'm not looking forward to it because unlike in puppy class, they don't have play time in the beginning, and we NEED play time or we can't do our lesson. As you can see.
That woman's legs were in almost every picture I took. Her doggy is the brown one (Allie), and she was constantly fretting that she was going to hurt Minnie. I kept telling her Minnie can more than handle the roughhousing, but I guess she didn't want me to sue her if Allie chewed her ears off or something. That wouldn't happen, though. Minnie and Allie are BFFs now. Seriously.
I'll tell you what. Every Thursday I would leave work growling that I didn't feel like dealing with puppy class (handling Minnie around other dogs and people can be very exhausting), but I'm actually going to miss it. It is the most hilarious thing I've done in a while. Puppy class. I'm very proud of my little graduate. And myself for making us go to class each week.
Yip!
Yay Minnie!! And yay Minnie's mommy! :)
