My little boy graduated from puppy class! He actually graduated in August but... uh... I've been bad about posting lately. =P
Fozzie had a lot of fun in his classes. They were awesome, because 30 minutes was dedicated to just letting them play off-leash together, so he got good doggy socialization. The classes taught sit, down, stand, left side, heeling, wait, stay, come, release, and leave it. Most of that he already knew but it was awesome to practice it with so many distractions. Fozzie placed 1st in the final test, which included everything we had learned, AND in "musical pups"; which was where we walked around a circle with music playing, and when the music stopped each puppy had to sit & wait a few feet away, the last puppy left who did it the fastest after all the others were eliminated won. He got a blue ribbon & a toy for each win. He's so smart & a total chow-hound!
Ok, I have a ton of pics. Please excuse the wierd lighting in some of them, it was super bright outside!
Fozzie, the Corgi mix, and Poppy, the Cardigan! You can tell the differences. Except they're almost exact on size & age...

A beautiful Saluki, zoomed in from across the park. She was so so sweet.
