Happy St Patrick’s Day. I put their green linens in their castle to celebrate ;-). We didn’t find much in the way of green grass outside but they continue to enjoy the dormant bermuda in the dog yard (and on the patio and in the rubber room and everywhere else they and we track it). There are things budding out so the hillsides will be green soon.
The puppies notice the geese flying in and out of the pond. It’s probably because GrandPaw Deja is waiting to start chasing the gander back into the pond when they start nesting.
It was cold and windy today so I had to bundle up but they had a high old time. The wind blowing their toys around makes them extra interesting. It also makes dried out leaves that blow out of the woods a lot of fun (but those are pretty fun anyway according to the pupsters)
We continue to train crate behavior. But now we are working on entering crates with a little decorum and being willing to come back outside after being released. They come out nicely in the mornings because they have to go potty but after a meal, they aren’t quite convinced that everyone is really done and coming outside. They are convinced that they could get rewarded again if they go back into the crate. Or maybe if they go into a different crate. Or maybe something they haven’t thought of doing with a crate yet…
At dinner time, I put the 6th bowl of food on top of the crates (there are 5 crates there) and as I was arranging the puppies in the crates, the last puppy just climbed up on top to eat there (see something new to do with a crate.). Smart puppies are a lot of fun but they are also exhausting ;-). Nighty, nighty, nighty. Puppy breath to all!
