The Graduate

Today was the big day. For those of you who have been following the life and times of Sammy the Dog, today was the day he graduated from Puppy School. He completed all of his training, and he even has the certificate to prove it. The only class he didn't do so well in was "Loose Leash Walking", but that wasn't enough to keep him from graduating. Kearsdad says he thinks anyone who pays their $99 gets a certificate, but I still think Sammy was an excellent student. He wasn't so impressed with the certificate, or with the graduation cap he wore for his picture. But he did like the treat his teacher gave him. And he liked playing with his new friends, especially the dachshunds Bailey and Gideon. Gideon is the puppy I mentioned in an earlier blog. He and his owner have come a long way and we enjoyed getting to know him. Bailey is the itty bitty dachshund with the great big attitude. Overall, it was a great day for Sammy. On the way out of the store, we bought him a new box of treats, a new toy, and a new 25 pound bag of puppy food. Oh....he now weighs 39.5 pounds.

Yeah, I think I need to take the very small dog to one of these classes. She has no idea about obedience.

But hooray for Sammy.

Yes, I think the very small dog would indeed be a sight at obedience school. That would rock her world. Of course, when you weigh 40 or 50 pounds, you can't get away with as much as you can when you only weigh 5 or 10 pounds.
