Groovy is 10 weeks old!

Groovy is 10 weeks old already! Has she really been here 2 weeks? In some ways it seems shorter and in others longer!

Over the past week one of her big adventures was a leash walk to grandma's. Almost earned her a new name of Bucking Bronco but she got the hang of it eventually. She enjoyed visiting with grandma, AJ and Lulu and showing off her tricks. Today was her first trip to our vet. She came away with a clean bill of health though they did find a very small umbilical hernia - nothing to worry about however. Jack took her and said she was really friendly with everyone and even played with Dr. Hooks (our awesome vet). She weighed in at approx. 11 1/2#'s. I measured her last night and she is 12.5". It'll be interesting to see how big she gets!

This week we worked on sit (has it really well on a verbal), drop (doing very good with this too), down (still needs a hand cue), name recognition (has bouts of selective hearing!), nose touch to my hand and a retrieve.

She and Tali are quite the duo and so hilarious to watch playing. Tali couldn't be a better big sister! Jam is enjoying her more too and new this week she's gotten to be in the yard with Mickie. Old girl Mickie has actually initiated play a few times but the awesome thing is that when Mickie doesn't want to interact Groovy is excellent at reading her signals. Big thanks to Tracey for allowing Ebony to teach the pups such great doggy skills!!

Groovy has a playdate with some of Team Treat and likely the Duke Dogs on Sunday - stay tuned for pics or video from that I'm sure!
