Teething.....4 Months Old

Penny is teething and everything in the house seems to be fair game! She has only gotten the furniture once and luckily it was the yard sale coffee table. She has already lost four of her small front teeth and her big dog teeth are poking through.

She apparently got spoiled over the holidays since Cynthia and I both had alot of vacation days in December. This was our first full week of work without one of us being home and boy did Penny hate being couped up all week. I decided to try out Pawtropolis and she LOVED it!!! http://www.athenspetropolis.com/daycare.html They have doggies day care and she got to run around with other dogs all day. When I picked her up she was completely worn out and all of the staff was gushing over her. Apparently she was a crowd favorite that day. I am hoping to take her back at least once a week so she has time to run with other pups and not be in the crate while I am at work. (P.S. they have web cams in the daycare rooms, totally addictive!)

Any who, heel training continues, sit stay and come are a daily exercise and retrieving is on hold until she is done teething. She loves to barrel after the dummies but has decided its way more fun to chew on them after she retrieves it then it is to bring it back to mom! I am also going tomorrow to observe an obedience class taught by one of the Atlanta Golden Retriever Club members to see if it would be a good fit for Penny and I. Puppy Boot Camp has begun.

As promised, pictures from Christmas are below....
