Day 2 and it's right to Immersion Therapy? Right to the show, the Miniature Pinscher show at On The Run. Of course, being a seven week two day old berner, Shasta was quite the hit at the show. Nothing like the berner puppy teddy bear look to get lots of attention. Shasta did great all day, I was really happy to see. Could I already be a proud pap on day 2? ;-) She was a brave girl all day, had no trouble meeting everyone. Was even quiet in the crate, well, after the very first couple of shrieks early in the morning. But she was friendly and interactive with everyone. Didn’t even sleep all that much.
Toni started showing her the rollover trick. She sure doesn’t mind being on her back so did quite well with it, considering treats are good but not to die for at this age. She spent a lot of time with Shannon Houg and Reeva, chewed a lot on Reeva’s leather leash. Also spent quite a bit of time with Cami Roland, even had a good game of tug with Cami for a while. It was her first real sign of any toy drive.
First night of sleep last night went pretty good. She belted out her cries for about 30 minutes but the rest of the night went well. I feel bad for them their first night without their littermates, it must be so traumatic. But she survived it.
It’s amazing, again, to remember and realize just how much work they are at this age, the constant attention that is needed. I value my daily routine so much, I am so bad at adjusting to changes to it. And this is a big adjustment for me. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can get back to a new daily routine.
