4 Month Mark

Normandy hit 4 months this past Thursday! We will be able to start taking him out in public starting October 5th. School has started so Normandy is spending his lunch break with our neighbor. The lunch break will be temporary since my mom is planning to take him to her office. He will start going to the office during the day after his last set of shots around Sept. 8th. In recent news Normandy threw up his lunch today because he has been eating his meals too fast. :( We are currently fixing the problem and will be calling our puppy manager tomorrow. Otherwise Normandy is doing great and learning his manners everyday.

Going to the Pool

This weekend like all the other weekends we went to puppy class. We started learning here, side, heel, and staying calm during excitable greetings. Normandy visited the vet for more shots and threw up his new heartworm medicine. We took Normandy to a pool on Sunday. He loved it and wanted to go deeper so i let him doggie paddle as i was holding him. Normandy has lost another persons toes to lick in the house because Will went off to college this morning.

Doggie Wash

It has been a doggie fun filled weekend! On Friday Normandy had a play date with Jack (11 month old beagle) and he ran his little heart out. He was extremely tired and sluggish that night and Saturday morning. We had puppy class the next day and all went well. We met the cutest Golden Retriever puppy who was so fluffly. I am definitely going to take a picture next time! That afternoon we visited the self service doggie wash. It was a nice place and Normandy was very cooperative when we bathed him like always. Sunday was also filled with more doggie training! So Sundays are the specific CCI training classes with all aged CCI dogs not just puppies (these take place about once a month) and Saturdays are general puppy classes with non CCI dogs(every week for six weeks). During the Sunday class you work on your own commands because all of the dogs are at different levels in training. All in all it was a tiring doggie weekend and we can't wait for more training next weekend!
