Transitions

The pups start going home on Friday - then another Saturday - another Monday or Tuesday.

How did the time fly? The last one doesn't go home till December 3rd/4th. It happens way too fast.


If you are looking for toys for your little one, keep it to a minimal and change them out daily to avoid boredom. Teething toys are good and so are ones that make noises and move.



Here are a few ideas we had in the past.

The pups are playing outside on an average of 4 times a day with the last one before bedtime. When the weather gets nasty, indoor play and retrieve will be the key.

The pups are quite comfortable with the goldens now jumping up to play with them - climbing over them - it's rather nice. It still means that when you have their last shots, you still have to get them exposed to all sorts of new things and it will count how you handle it. Never coddle. Be positive and I use a keyword to let my dawgs know if nothing should be a concern. I use silly girl or silly boy in a funny cute voice. Find your keyword and help your pup get slow conditioned. They will be what you do with them.
