We are having lots of fun playing and learning. I am loving the clicker training approach, and am especially impressed with Leslie McDevitt's Control Unleashed book, so we are trying to apply some of those activities in her daily life. Classes have been on a break for the holiday weeks, so we will get back to that this week.
Her favorite game is tug, although this isn't our preferred toy for that game...
Posing for Miss America:
Unfortunately (from the dogs' viewpoint) the snow is gone for now, so she consoles herself with whatever little ice is left, which she loves to chew on:
"What's for me for Christmas?" 
The doggies had stockings, and one day Shadow (GSD, age 10, always a good boy) climbed up on the couch and got the dog stockings off the sill and ate the heel out of one of the stockings and ate a little sample tube of Natural Balance food, plastic and all...oh dear. I see all the things Debby has to go inside dogs for, to get things out of their stomachs and intestines, but this didn't seem to cause any problems.Sometimes Truffie seems very catlike. She often rubs up against furniture or a tree like a cat would do, and she bats things with her paws like a cat, and she climbs around anywhere -- here she is practicing her balancing skills on the edge of the deck.
Thank goodness we have Viva and Shadow to help us entertain Truffle, because she is nonstop. Luckily all the initial uncertainties of getting along have disappeared, and both the older dogs truly seem to enjoy her and seek her out, and also put up with her energy. Here is Shadow, his displays of teeth and growling totally wasted on Truffle.
Here is the whole Runestone litter, about 14 weeks or so, put together by Joann Secondino, the owner of the father, Kaffi.
