My friend Cara and I went to Hampden with Poochie. She did a super job. She even let a few kids approach her. She only growled at a few people and that was when a single person popped up out of nowhere or they were tall and wore a lot of black... Can't wait to socialize her some more. After that, I can take her to training classes and by then she will have learned enough that I won't have to waste money on puppy classes.
Speaking of such...
she's getting a little better about lunging and screaming at our neighbors and people that walk by. It is getting easier to distract her from doing it. I'm starting to master the timing of stopping her before she even tries to.

New Sweater & New Friend
Excitement!
I finally retaught myself how to knit... but.. I kept messing up so my mom ended up taking over...
The sweater turned out beautifully despite it having been well over 20 years since the last time my mom has knitted anything. It's a bit iffy, but still really great for a first sweater. It's a little too long and the belly part is a bit too loose; can't wait for the next one. She was sleeping when we made her try it on.. so.. she was really tired and out of it. Even so, she sat and stayed so I could take a photo.
Poochie's made a new friend! I got to watch my friend's family dog for the day, today. They said that Kaiser, the beagle, is known to be pretty territorial. He chased a giant great dane around the house... I thought perhaps it might be okay since Poochie's similar in height and a female. Surely enough... Poochie ended up chasing him around and they played all day. It was great :)

Pooped II
I took hundreds of photos.. so.. I tried my best to shrink the list down.
Oh yes, and what was even more exciting was that Poochie also behaved like an angel.
