August 2012 -- Day Six

The boys met two new dogs today. Rosario was the first new meet and greet. She is Thistle's daughter and very much like her mother. That meet and greet was a no brainer for both boys. Poni didn't even give her so much as a bark. Maybe he thought she was just one of the black labs?

Poni has briefly met Billings at a puppy social. He was a little snappy at Billings when they met at the puppy social but not today. The meet and greet went well. Poni still gets a little cranky on occasion with the other dogs but, for the most part, he's been pretty playful with them.

The game of the day seemed to involve being under the bed.

I'm not sure what everyone was doing under there but I don't think I was invited to their party.

I don't think Poni knew what he was doing under there but he was sure having a good time.

Poni usually spends his time on the outside of the play but today he was much more involved.

He's real good at shaking his toys and bouncing all around his friends.

He's also found it useful to use his friends for a paw up when needed.

All in all he is much more relaxed around the other dogs and his introductions to the new dogs today went much more quickly than they have in the past.

Kiko, of course, gets along with everyone.

But the really nice thing with Kiko is he is very attentive to the humans even when his friends are around. And he LOVES his friends.

He's happy to leave his friends in the dust as soon as you call him.

Most impressive, though, is how well he's doing maintaining his sit. He can hold it for much longer now and his meal prep is going really, really well. Tomorrow we're going to try doing meal prep with both the boys together.

I'm sorry, Kiko, you got over shadowed again, didn't you? But your ability to hold your sit really is amazing.
