11 Weeks and 5 Days Old

July 16, 2008:

Today Pandora went to a cafe. We got some really tasty gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and they gave her a little water dish complete with ice (It was a hot day). Right now there is a storm outside and she is sleeping in her box.

Pandora does not appear to be afraid of rain, which is good because sometimes it rains here (Yes, even in July).

Tomorrow, we plan to take her to the pet store to buy some food and perhaps some treats.

That's all for now.

11 Weeks and 4 Days Old

June 15, 2008:

Yesterday was a big day for Pandora. She had two puppy playdates, one with Oliver, who is also a Miniature Schnauzer, and one with Jewels the Havanese (Pictured). She also had her first vet visit, which went quite well.

Today was also sort of a big day. She met Monty the Standard Poodle and a Miniature Poodle whose name I didn't manage to catch. At first she was afraid of them but after a little while she came out of her shell. We also bought her some real bones (Not cooked bones - never give your dog cooked bones!) for her to chew on, which she liked. And we brushed her teeth for the first time. She really likes the toothpaste so that went good.

Here's a tip: Before you feed your dog, make him/her perform a simple command such as sit. If he/she does it, he/she gets his/her food.

11 Weeks and 1 Day Old

Guess what? We got Pandora! I would have updated yesterday (The day we got her), but we were quite busy with her. Already she is learning to walk on a leash and letting us know when she has to get out of her crate. I'll try to take a picture of her sometime.

We took Pandora for a walk this morning. She met her first dog that was not a Miniature Schnauzer. She was scared to death of him/her. Which is to be expected, as it was a big dog and she's only about 7 inches tall.

Pandora is definitely a mischevious one. But you'd never suspect, especially if you looked at her right now. As I am typing, she is sleeping like an angel in her box (Pandora's Box. LOL).

P.S. My brother is back home now. He got back from Japan on July 8.

9 Weeks and 4 Days Old

Here is an update on the Ol' Roy situation: The breeder switched her dogs to Actrium. We went out and got some the other day.

Can you believe it? Only 9 days before we get Pandora! I can hardly wait!

Do you have any puppy training tips you could share with me?
