First day out!

Today Aunt JoJo, Uncle Dan and Mommy went out with Blanca!

We started our day by stopping at the Vet for a quick weigh in, and she is now 18.6 lbs (up a little over a pound since last week!)  Then we went to the Habitstore on Grant and I-10. Aunt Tammy met us there.  I was a little afraid of how she would react with strangers but she did extremely well!  She followed directions, was able to cruise around children and adults, and when she did bark, she stopped with little effort. I was so proud!


Then we went to Uncle Keith's house to check on his cat Lupita, and Blanca hung out in his backyard. She dug a couple of holes (better his yard than mine ;-)) and had lunch there. After that, the humans went to Chipotle to conquer their hunger, and she lied down (mostly) quietly by my side. I had to carry this huge bag full of toys, treats, food, water, towels, etc... never thought I'd see myself like that!




Last but not least, Petco!  Aunt JoJo and Uncle Dan are considering adopting a cousin for Blanca.  Unfortunately for them (but good for the puppy anyway!), the puppy they were interested in got adopted shortly before we got there.  But we still got to see other beautiful pups and Blanca had a chance to "talk" to them, only this time she was on the other side of the crate!  Free as a bird!  Mommy got her a soft brush, more treats and more poop bags, since you can never have too many of those!


When we got home she went straight to her bed and stayed there for almost an hour! Then she went outside for some private time and went back to bed.

What a day.  A dog's life, right?

She spent have the afternoon wrestling and playing w/ Blanca's brother, 'til they wore each other out & took naps.
