Cinder spent the last few days at Camp Morga while we were touring with the Boss. Three days with Promise (her sister), Echo, the newborns, and the Morga pack followed by a puppy socialization class resulted in one tired dog this evening. She lies at my feet snoring.
We picked Cinder up tonight at our weekly puppy class in Janesville. It was like meeting her for the very first time. She wasn't paying attention or responding very well. Not sure if it was a dog problem or a trainer problem; I was still feeling the effects of long car rides, standing for hours, and sleep deprivation. She was also very treat oriented, which may have been caused by getting a late dinner.
She struggled initially climbing up the playhouse and walking though the tunnel. Too much pressure, because later she wanted to explore and she walked right up. I think she was searching for treats. At home, Cinder showed some trepidation as an oscillating fan that was drying the rug. We were entertained for fifteen minutes watching her discovery process. Eventually, she had to walk past it to get outside. Now it's no big deal.
Before class, we stopped by the green house in Janesville to visit Oliver. Unfortunately, he wasn't on site at the moment. We did talk to his sister (his owner's daughter); she said that is getting along extremely well - kids visiting and plenty of opportunitities to run.
