Thanks Sarah

So for no. 2 we have a trip planned to the local pet puppy store (where I will pack her just in case) for her essentials. Leash, collar, crate, so we can work on no 1. Oh and some shampoo I think bath time will work for no 4. She is the dirtiest puppy I have ever seen. She seems pretty tolerant so far. I noticed her chewing something and didn't know what it was. So I popped her mouth open to have a look. She was amazingly fine with it. I had kind of expected a bit of a challenge. As for no. 6 my house is really containment unfriendly it's all wide open. So might have see if I can find a x-pen that would be suitable for indoor use. Will work on getting videos. I am babysitting this morning, probably another first for her so should be interesting.

Ah yes persistence! She's definitely not Bogart. This is going to be a challenge. Fun but still a challenge.

Oh Sarah how right you are. I feel so guilty not including Bogart.

Yesterday Cassie (yes she finally has a name) and I went to town.

She does very well in the truck. I bought her a crate a little to big for right now and will be a little too small later, but will work well for the time being.

We also found her her first collar. Which she thinks is very itchy right now. Hopefully it will get softer and more comfortable the more she wears it.

I also bought a x-pen for in the house. I was thinking more about how it would fit and how convenient it would be rather than how well it would work. It's only 24 inches high. She already thinks that she can jump it, and if not from the floor then definitely from the top of her crate. We'll work with this for the weekend and see where were at. DD may have just inherited a x-pen for her Chi's.

No bath yesterday I was to played out from puppy management and lack of sleep. I did give her a once over from head to toe. Once again very impressed at how tolerant she is. Pinched and pulled on toe nails, slight reaction on some of her nails but for the most part just indifference. Opened her mouth had a look at her teeth. Poked my fingers in her ears, just calm. It may be just uncertainty in her new environment so I will keep doing this on a daily basis.

I also introduced the leash. Just let her drag it for a while, then tried holding it at first I thought that I had found my first puppy that didn't balk on a leash when it was introduced. I was mistaken, we were just headed to the same place at the same time. Once she noticed that there was something attached to her neck she dug in. Lots of coaxing and cheering and she was soon running to me. Lots of scritches and then we tried again. We worked at it until she was moving forward with me.

Well I think that's it for Cassie's first day. I am going to move this down to plans and support now.

Thanks everyone!
