I'm just back from taking Josie to the vet -- her final vaccinations for this period. That means she can romp and frolic outside our property for the first time -- meet other dogs and neighborhood people. That's going to be a big change. She enjoys our property, though we have to keep her away from the flowers, and we've been finding more and more ways to play with her, such as tying a rope up with a pulley from a tree branch. Great dog fun.
Best vet-visit yet. Calm in the car, calm in my arms (getting to be quite an armload) in the waiting room. She trusts me more and more. Last night I clipped her nails and it was the easiest time yet. She's on the brink of being 16 weeks old, the time they call "adolescent." But she's already had some strong teenage-rebellion moments. Apparently that's going to increase, if she follows the textbooks.
I was away last week, and am going away again for a few days tomorrow. Last time I came back after five days, she was totally different -- got that stripe of white over her forelegs, and grew noticeably. Don't know what to expect this time... She's great.
