11 week old Precious at her 1st Puppy Class, playing with her classmates.
This is a flashback for us to a decade ago. She needs the schooling but so do we, as we're out of practice!

Precious May 8 & 10
Although the puppy is getting bigger, Precious still shouldn't go for walks. So she goes along for the family walk in her puppy pouch.

In the first segment of the following video, her bed can be more interesting as a toy than any of her real ones. In the second segment, Precious gets Sweetie to rough-house with her. Sweetie can easily knock her over with a flick of her head. Thankfully, Sweetie is holding back but I sense that Precious when bigger won't be such a push-over & given that they are 2 Alpha females, we will have sparring sessions that equalled the Monty & Sweeie bouts! No one ever lost an eye though...

The Precious & Sweetie Show
Precious is settling in to her new surroundings - getting into the gardens, eating rocks - all the things that puppies do! This required some chicken wire to keep her out of the forbidden areas. She's had a couple of accidents in the house, particularly on the Rec Room carpet but she would follow big sister Sweetie outside & has gradually gotten the idea to do her business always on the grass, instead of new territory indoors!
Still has problems going down the basement steps but one day recently she made it down 3 or 4 before getting stuck & crying for help! She's learning how to entice the 11 year old PWD into playing with her.

Puppy's First Day Home
Precious came home on April 28th, the day of the big wind storm in Southern Ontario.
The pup didn't seemed alarmed with the 100 kph winds even though they took down a section of fence & trashed our two gazebos.
On that first day Precious learned to use Monty's old deck ramp. Within a day or two she learned to handle stairs - at least going up - she still hasn't been brave enough to go down the basement stairs.
Sweety showed initial curiosity toward the pup but really didn't play with her until day 10. But she readily shares her beds & toys!

Precious - The new addition!
A new puppy comes home April 28th to join Sweety! Life won't be the same once the Sweety & Precious Show starts!
She is a Golden Retriever pup. Not a replacement for Monty, but Spring is a time for new beginnings...
