A Bit Of The World Through The Eyes Of My Eleven Month Old Pup*

Yesterday was Dolly's first day of attendance at a Socialization Class for dogs. At first she was overly excited & a bit hyped up, but once she felt comfortable with the other dogs, with them allowing her to sniff them & she letting them in turn sniff her too. All in all, it was a productive day in dog ville, for afterwards I took her for a long walk along the river in downtown Putnam. The Quinebaug River was still rather high, but no more white water as of yesterday, yet a beautiful, peaceful, meandering walk all the way to the ancient, rod iron, railroad bridge & back. Walking one's dog on a beautiful sunny spring day, along with socializing with the other pet owners & their dogs, does allow one to think those deep, deep, thoughts which helps to figure much out.

The afternoon was 61 degrees, sunny & bright. Today it's in the mid 40's, gray, windy & feels cold. What a difference a day makes, for all of us, & that includes my young dog too. Hang in there Dolly, we'll be getting you "Invisible Fence" for your Birthday soon, so everyday can be a delightful, dog day afternoon. We're getting there, all in good time.
