School is back in session. Puppy school, that is. We missed a solid month and a half, waiting for the state to scale back Covid restrictions. In that time, a certain puppy developed a few minor bad habits, but she didn't lose all her training. She actually did all right, even when we had to each stand up in front of the class and practice "line up." Her buddy Forrest was there again, plus three new guys. We had one bark at the brindle boy next to us early in the session. Then she was great. We are both glad to be working again.
We had the baby today. She gets smarter every time I see her. This is such a fun age. We were trying new foods, and while she sat in her high chair, she watched me clean the cat hair off a couple of the dining room chairs. I've had marginal success scraping the fur off with a silicone spatula, and when I offered the spatula to her, she leaned over and tried to do the exact thing she had seen me do. So clever.
I still have to watch the girls closely when they are together. Saoirse spends all over her time trying to lick the baby's face, and when I held her back too long, she got anxious and reached out with her paw. Baby did not like having a large dog paw scrape her cheeks. By the time we were back from puppy training, all was forgiven.
