When we arrived at the drop off site, there were several families with their puppies standing around talking to Dan and each other. It reminded me of parents getting ready to drop off their child on the first day of school! Several of the dogs were hanging out with their families; Paz had no such plans. As soon as we walked up the to group, she was trying to play with the other puppies. She was a little wary of some of the people at first, but warmed up to them quickly. It didn't take her long to get her leash all tangled up with some of the other puppies. When her buddy Pfieffer arrived, they both got excited and picked up where they left off a couple of days ago: lots of ear pulling and wrestling before they were crated up!
The puppies had grown so much in just 2 weeks! I was amazed how much bigger the puppies from the O litter were than the puppies from the P litter, and they are only 1 week older than Paz! What a difference that one week seems to make in size and development!
After visiting with Dan about Paz's progress over the last couple of weeks, we took off her hot pink collar and crated her up. She didn't fuss much when we left. It was kind of sad to leave Paz behind, but she didn't seem to mind. It seems like we minded it a lot more than she did! I guess that means we're doing our job!!!
When we returned home, we let our older dogs Jed and Ding back inside. They spent several minutes combing the house looking for Paz. This is really ironic because all they've done the last 2 weeks is try to get away from her!
And now it's a week off for all of us. We fully expect to have to play dog referee for a few days when she returns as Jed and Ding are creatures of habit, and will quickly slip back into their old ways! They're in for a real awakening on June 27th! I wonder, will Paz be housebroken by the time she gets back?????
