Day 238 - Week 35 GROWING UP

I have just returned from a 3 week vacation to the Philippines and Hong Kong.  This means that little Eve had to stay behind.  This time she stayed with Linnea and her failed puppy, 5-year old Dunbar. Linnea provided me with updates and pictures while I was away, and it was great to hear how she was doing.  Eve had a wonderful time having a play mate every day.  She went to concerts and rehearsals.  She even went to visit a seniors home.  Of course she was a hit everywhere she went.  Linnea really enjoyed her and let me know that any time I go on vacation to give her a call!  It's so great to hear such positive feedback on Eve.  Being my first puppy, I never can tell how she is really doing.

Eve was ecstatic to see me when I returned.  She gave me these little love bites on my arms.  It was very affectionate but it did cause a little bruising!

We are now back to our routine.  Yesterday we met with Puppy Maggie and they had a wonderful time on our 1 1/2 hour walk.  Eve was so exhausted when we returned home that she slept the entire day.  Sadly, Maggie has an issue with her elbow and had to be pulled from the Guide Dog program!  We are really going to miss her.

Eve is getting more gorgeous every day and behaving so well!  There was one girl at obedience class this week that was picking up her brand new puppy the following day.  Oh boy, am I ever glad we are past the puppy stage!  My baby is growing up so quickly!
