First Walks and Fun

Cori (how they want to spell it) and Misty had their first walk around the block and their first Petsmart visit. We listened to a puppy class going on in Petsmart and just cringed. Let's just say, we were not impressed but it gave this duo exposure. This is a video of the walk around the block. I did not take any when we were in Petsmart. The duo did really well.

We are getting Cori ready for his Wednesday departure. He is heading to Perth to their cottage as they are on holidays. They spend as much time as they can there. Then he will head home in a week after that to his forever home. I guess their cottage is the forever home too. 

We had a really good day but I spent a lot of it grooming for departures. Reggie, Tenshi, Adele, River and Lexi depart today. Tomorrow Buddy and Tucker and maybe Coco and Meadow arrives. 

We had a wonderful time outside - mostly with Nathan as I was working but some with me too. Plants are still in the wheel barrel. 

We have a busy week. The air conditioner guy comes Tuesday. The garage doors are getting installed on Wednesday. Cori departs Wednesday. The schnauzers arrive - hooray - we have missed them! Ziggy comes Thursday. Pablo Friday and well Woofstock on Saturday!

Here is the gallery.

I need to plant. I want to fit in a garden center that is my fave that Nathan doesn't want to go to. The lights and the Polaris and it now seems a longer flex tube seeing my hook is too far up now. LOL The list goes on but I will ignore it all if we just get a day in the pool with the dogs. Can we have it, please?

Wish I was closer ... you know I'm always up for a visit to a garden centre. ... which one is your favourite?

Love the puppy bum wiggles! What great walkers you two are! Although I believe Cori was a little more sure of himself than Misty.

Yes, Cori was more confident during that video but after that video, tail was up for Misty as well. She was bothered by the roofers. They dropped a shingle as we were passing by and it fell close to us almost hitting Misty where Nathan was with Cori ahead of us. I think Misty halfway around the block expected another fallen shingle. How do I know? She kept looking up from time to time. Then finally she forgot about it. Tail was up and she was bouncing and jumping along. It was a great conditioning experience for her. Think we will take them out for another walk tomorrow.

They did awfully well for their first walk and Nathan managed to stay upright when they got under his feet. I remember walks like that with puppies.

I know. Nathan is pretty good at switches leashes to avoid tangles. I have to laugh.
