Eve and I spent our first week apart as I flew off to Colorado for a business trip. Thankfully she was left in great hands with Rupert and Bev. If you are going to leave your puppy with anyone and you can score Rupert and Bev you are very lucky! Well I got lucky. Eve had a wonderful time and she has come back a new puppy. Even Ellen asked what was wrong with Eve. She does not jump on people any more, she is a lot more calm (or is that because she is sad that she missed her puppy buddy Purdy?), she is incredible to take on a walk and no longer drags me to the dog park, she barely barks and the best part of it all....SHE RIDES ESCALATORS!!!! She really does. I have taken her five times now and she doesn't even hesitate, just walks right on. I'm so proud of her. They told me they practiced a lot with two other pups. Purdy in front and another pup behind her who kept pushing her butt from behind to get her on the escalator. I can't thank Rupert enough...he is just so great with these dogs.
Today after work I took Eve to Coopers park to have a little play with the other dogs. It was a nice evening and there were 21 (I counted them) dogs. She had a blast! Now she is passed out she is so tired. I love her! She's really going to enjoy hanging out at the bars for the next two months as we cheer on the Canucks on their way to the Stanley Cup!
This is a picture of Eve and Linda of BC Guide Dogs months ago when she was trying to get Eve on an escalator!
