New Years Day - 1st time outside


First outing
It was so nice and mild after the cold time we had that we all went outside today for the first time!  We had a great time exploring the outside world under protection of course as one never knows what dangers may be out in that great wondrous world!  Things like owls and eagles, coyotes or other dogs, skunks, raccoons, mushrooms, bad water with coccidia and giardia or bad people for as puppies we are very vulnerable and curious.

We were encouraged outside 5-6 times today to potty in the great outdoors instead of in our area pen on the newspaper which we have been using about 75% of the time for the last two and a half weeks.

A busy day today to top it off with the vacuum cleaner during positive reinforcement.  We were ready for a nap and we quite happily choose this spot on top of a grooming table collapsed on the floor.  Our foster mom saw the moment so put the rest of us to complete that special moment!
