2 Homes, in One day..

First off - Sunday they finished their shots, as well as rabies.. so off to the beach we went.. :) What a blast.  Pacino loves the ocean, and wanted to run right on in.. (amazing he doesn't think like that at bath time.. All the others were just walking and observing except Hershey.. well she had a lot to say to everyone.. and not a moment to loose.. 

Then just yesterday (Monday) we found two homes for two of the little ones... Here is a synopsis of how the first day after shots unwound..  

Yesterday Pacino and Chubbs went around the block with their mom.. Pacino still needs sometime to adjust to walking.. why? Well, he is a just a little shy to walk anywhere, and from time to time, he will just stop.  Randomly.  It is as if he is telling me to pay attention.. (at first though, I didn't notice because I had put him on the Y link with his mom, and she pulled him down the street) Now, I put him on his own leash, and we stop for him when he stops.. to let him know everything is okay.   It is amazing how different they are.

Down the street we go, until we find ourselves at South Paw to have a bath at the bath house.. What a great day.. 

First off, they had baths.  Chubbs was first in the tub.  He was amazing. He was scrubed, and had suds.. rinsed, dryed and combed out to finish.  On the floor he goes. Pacino waited in the tub as a friend from our building stopped by the store to buy some treats.. Ms. Jackie.  

They were exceptionally good.  

Pacino was next in the line-up of puppies to be washed.. He went fast too.. in and out.. but combing him took a little time.. He had some issues around his back legs from being dragged by Chloe..

Well after we were done cleaning, they had the RARE opportunity to sit behind the desk with Shireen at South Paw, and met a set of Golden Retreiver sisters and a beautiful older sheltie. They didn't know how to react at first because they had never been out before.  Not to mention we have Mr. Shy, Pacino.  But, they did great!  

After a little while, we were off to the park to meet some other interesting charachters.. Captin - a vishla puppy (9 Mo.) who loves to play tricks.. and some others (two goldens who couldn't pass up the opportunity to steal their sqeeky ball..) They were exceptional at recall.  I left them on thier leashes and used treats to work on keeping them within a reasonable distance.  Chubbs doesn't like to play, but Pacino loves a little bit of a tumble.. as we found out from spending some time with Captin..We stayed outside for a good 2 hours, and back in again to get Mozart to come out and meet a few people.  

Here we were.  Chloe, Chubbs and Mozart spending time with two families and us learning about them.  We had a great time.  Everything worked out well.  They were so well behaved and even Kubo found his way to the park to scope out what was going on.. So the families were able to see both the Mom and the Dad..

Today we are missing them but we send our prayers out and ask God to bless them and their new familes.. I hope they are blessed throughout their lifelong journey.
