I had a really exciting week this week. I went in to see the Vet. First thing I did was pee on her floor..she didn’t mind too much though. She gave me a good check over, she looked in my ears and checked my teeth. She talked to my human about the food I eat. She also talked to my human about whether I get a vaccination and they decided I should, but I won’t need another one for 3 years after that one. The Vet was nice and she gave me treats without me having to sit.
I have been going for walks on the lead around my section. I am learning how to heel, which means I walk right beside the person taking me for a walk. Sometimes I go too slow and I am encouraged forward with treat. Sometimes I go too quickly and the collar around my neck pulls, so I slow down. I need to concentrate all the time to get it just right. That’s quite hard for me to do, but I’ll do a bit more practice each day and I’ll get it right. My human says its important I learn to walk nicely, so I get to go out on lots of fun walks.
And at the end of the week I did get to go out on a fun walk with a group of dogs from Animates. Once a month, on the last Saturday of the month, there are people that meet at the pet shop and walk down to Memorial park. I went with 2 other dogs from home, that were staying with us. It was too far for me, so my human ended up carrying me much of the way back, but it was great to meet other dogs and have a good time.
There’s so much to learn and experience when you are a puppy
