BANG!

So this morning much to my surprise and excitement, Cali played dead!

We learned it on Monday in class and she was getting there with much guidance, but still wiggling around and munching on her treat - therefore obviously not dead. This morning just as I ran out of my handful of puppy crack (dehydrated chicken), she lay still and didn't move. It was a very touching moment!

With any luck, she'll get better with distractions around and we can showcase her new trick to friends and family over the holidays. I'm so very happy!

In not so good news, the litter that Jenny & Mike were waiting for only produced 1 puppy and they seem to be second on the waiting list. I can only imagine how upsetting that must be, as I am upset and it wasn't even my new baby. Worst case, they'll have luck with a new litter in May. Just think - at least they won't have to do the bathroom breaks in the bad weather. Cali gets a bit confused by the snow about where to go and it's brutal trying to train her to walk nicely when the wind is bitter. I can't wait for spring already!

Ok - I'm tired - baking until 11 last night...probably the same tonight...I think I have a problem! ;)

Happy holidays!
