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.
