Drooly P

Since Penny's first shopping trip with Thomas and I to Broad Ripple went so well on Friday (minimal drool), Dave and I took her shopping for a larger crate on Saturday-mistake. We met the Drool Monster! And she upchucked-twice! SO Saturday night and Sunday were much more low key than the first two days for Penny here in Indy. She is slowly learning our vocabulary, and just like a Pointer she uses her selective hearing very well!

Dave has a little white shadow with him most everywhere he goes in the house and I swear today she was looking for him around the yard! We've started working on the in-ground fence training. The first few days are the toughest, the nice thing about Penny is she kinda sticks near you in the yard, unlike Thomas who, until he understood the fence, would spend as much time 2 yards down as he did in his own yard!

On our first jog down the Monon on Friday the three of us got lots of compliments! Ok, they got lots of compliments, I was just holding the leashes!

All in all these first few days have been good, I'm still looking forward to when she knows all of our words and is less timid-we see signs of this already-she has growled at Thomas when he looked at her and her bed too long!
