From average morning to risky business

Puppy did very well last night and only woke me up one at about 3am. We went on 20 minute socialization walk and experienced the random sights and sounds of the mission.

• pile of discarded carpet padding at the bustop
• lone woman sitting on a cement cube smoking
• joggers
• bikers
• man working on the frame of the first story of a house- walking around and aappearing/disappearing and speaking Spanish
• an ooooooold man slowly making his way down the street with a walker
• 2 school aged girls
• a man riding up on a lift gate
• pigeons
• people loitering

I left for work at about 8:15 and left both dogs at home with Tim. I got a call at about 10 telling me that Winnie had peed on the carpet and asking what he needed to do. Got another call about an hour later telling me that she had pooped on the carpet and asking what he should do.
Poor Tim.

After talking to Holly I decided to bring the pup and Dolce to work for th afternoon so that Winnie could socialize and we could leave right at 5:30 to get to conformation class.

Winnie was a hit at work and did really well. She was quite easy-going and friendly though a bit subdued so I suspect she was stressed. Marth (HDP) was very complimentary. Everyone told me how beautiful she is. Winnie met Willie, Mocha and Penny. Poor little poodle was a bit intimidated by them but after about 30 minutes was hanging out with them and trying to get Willie to play with her.

We had an easy drive to San Leandro for conformation class. We were the only ones there so I worked both Dolce and Winnie.

We worked on shaping a free stack, leash handling and gaiting (Dolce only), name recognition, and table work (Winnie only)

Winnie was a great traveller. She peed on a pad at the class and pooped/peed when we got home. I fed her 2 Primal nuggets but she seems to still be starving so I gave her what Dolce refused to eat which was another 1.5 nuggets.

Raw seems to be the way to go with her.

When we got home she got the zooms and sprinted around the kitchen for close to 5 minutes straight. She was literally bouncing off of the walls!!!
