working time!!!!

Today was a field trip for Cappy and Mookie.... Mom and Kathleen thought that they should be getting out abit more, so it was off to the hospital......

First stop... the elevator. Both the puppies didn't see any big deal in that, and in fact, just sat and waited for the treats to arrive. Silly babies... I used to get treats too, when I was much younger... now, Mom says that "good dog"(and treats just once in a while) work for me....

After playing on the elevator, everyone moved to the stairway. Now all of us know how to do "stairs", but Mom and Kathleen really like these because the hallway echos, and the stairs, being tile can be a bit slippery.  Cappy thought this game was quite fun!!!!

And watched carefully as Mookie made his way up the steps. What the Mom's work on are things like going slowly... taking one step at a time, stopping on the stairs (both going up and going down). And waiting to not move until they are told. Sounds easy, but really, it takes time and practice....

And what was I doing while the puppies were off working??? Sitting in the front hallway, greeting people and being with Wanda. She got to answer alot of questions about "why" we were all there, and about the work that we are doing. 

Mom never tries to miss an opportunity... and here Cappy got to practice "under"......

After our trip to the hospital, we were all off to puppy school. That's Cappy, Mookie and Livy, greeting all their puppy friends....













Puppy school is always fun, so many friends to meet with, Mom says it's good that we learn not all the puppies in the world are labs.... course Cappy and I know that, because we live with the cockers... (and horses, guinea hens.. cats.... etc.etc...)


just more.. "days with Debbie" and "captions from Cappy!!!"
