Happy 11 Weeks to the Roanna Puppies and Happy 12 Weeks to the Ting Boy!
This week just flew by! It has been quite busy with the puppies! They are doing wonderfully at their training. They are doing their sits, downs, wait, and they shake hands! We are doing some leash work and have introduced the “Leave It”. We continue to work on their puppy manners and socialization!
With the nice weather, we have been going outside to potty and play. I get them outside right away in the mornings. This morning they were up before the dawn at 5:30 AM so they went out in the dark! They were all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, even Mommy Roanna who goes out with them! They are usually sleeping a bit longer but they went to bed early at 9:30 PM, as I was exhausted from the busy day. They usually go to bed around 10-10:30 and they have been sleeping until usually 6:30 or 7 AM.
I am not moving very fast these days as I took a bad spill and hurt my knee. The Dr. sent me in for a MRI as he thinks I have torn a ligament. He says there is too much laxity in my knee and it hurts! I knew you had to hold still for the MRA but I did not realize how hard it was to hold that still! My leg kept twitching and even when I thought, “Don’t twitch!” I then twitched! So then, I had to try and not think about twitching at all which is hard to do when your leg continues to twitch! I think my puppies can hold still better than I can! However, I am not really bribed with tasty liver treats!
I did treat myself to McDonald’s oatmeal cookies, of which I am totally addicted too! I had to laugh as the lady at the first window just exclaimed over Andy and brought several others over to the window to see him. As I waited my turn and then pulled up to the second window, there she was with, must have been, the rest of the staff, all peering out the window at Andy! It was a window of faces! They handed me my cookies but I had to remind them I had a drink too, and then that I also needed a straw! As I drove away, I was laughing at loud at the silliness of it and all the attention my silly Andy guy gets!
My daughter and I did some fun pictures but *arg* they did not come out! I am really sitting her grumbling about it, though not twitching. I am going to post them anyway. I would go and redo them but the puppies are napping and we do not mess with puppy nap times! :)
