What a wonderful Thanksgiving! I got to spend the long weekend at Mom and Dad's and had so much fun. We spent Thanksgiving night with the Means Family in Covington and I just loved seeing everyone. The Means are my second family and it was so wonderful to be surrounded by so much love on Thanksgiving. My grandpa is here so penny got to meet her great grandpa! They got along great and she just loves the tassels on his house shoes....so funny! It was a bitter sweet weekend, since we lost Jazz last year the day after Thanksgiving. Having Penny there this year was a great feeling and we know that Jazz is looking out for us all in doggie heaven!
We went for a big walk each morning and Pen did great, walking pretty on a leash is still as work in progress but it will come. The walks also tuckered her out so Mom and I could cook for the Holiday. She found the screened in porch at their house and we couldn't keep her off of it, she just loved watching the other dogs go by while laying in the sun - must be a tough life :).
In between cooking and decorating for Christmas we had a few Sit, Stay and Come lessons. Penny is getting so good at it! She had the jist after one lesson but we are working on consistency and the ability to do it with distractions now. I am continually so impressed with how smart she is. It usually only takes one lesson to pick up on a concept - top off the class all the way! Once she really has Sit Stay and Come down we will start working on it in conjunction with a retrieve! Can't wait to see what my baby girl can do.
Pics from the weekend are below - the one with Penny in the Red Wagon is my favorite, she jumped in while mom was using it to take the recycling out....so stinking cute!
