Truffle is 13 weeks now, and weighs about 12 lbs. 10 ounces. She went to her first puppy kindergarten class this morning, and had a ball. It is in a barn with a concrete floor and hay bales stacked around to make little "rooms" and little tunnels where the puppies can get away from each other if they feel intimidated. Truffle certainly doesn't give the impression of being intimidated, but she did feel most comfortable playing with Bridget, the smallest dog. Towards the end of the class she played some with the big puppies, a GSD and an Old English Sheepdog. She barked at first, but that soon stopped, and I was happy with the class. But outside, there is a flock of about 100 sheep, and other dogs coming and going, and she was barking her head off. All in all, it was fun for everyone.
Here are some December pictures, earliest at the bottom and most recent at the top. Some with Shadow -- I almost put the one with her whole head in his mouth, but I didn't want to alarm anyone :-) Click pictures to enlarge.
