Not So Sure

Well first off, DeSoto`s evaluation went very well. Celeste did say that he is still a puppy and has some maturing to do before going back. She did mention that his obedience is amazing, which I was happy to hear! This was a big thing for me because DeSoto has never really liked his nails trimmed and that has been an issue with him for the longest time, now though he is fine. Celeste was able to trim some of his nails with no hassle. Yeah DeSoto!! That was a great thing to hear! Overall he did great.

Over the past few weeks my friends and I including DeSoto went camping up at Nevada Beach. DeSoto was great, except he loved to eat sand. He did not eat that much but enough to drive me insane. This past weekend I went camping and Walker River Resort and DeSoto went with my friend Amber who was also a puppy raiser. She said he was really good, but did has an accident in Dillard`s. During the week we do not do anything too exciting. We have are usual Monday night meetings and we usual go to a few stores during the week. Wednesday some of our friends and I headed up to Wild Island (a water park) and we did not want to take DeSoto because it was going to be way to hot. So instead I made arrangements with Becky and long time puppy raiser in our club to take him for the day. He got an alright report. She said when she was in a meeting, he was over against the wall being good until one of her workers said "um I think your dog is eating the wall". He has only chewed the wall once when he was only 8 weeks old so that really surprised me. She also said that when someone knocked on her door he barked once or twice, which I knew about because he does that at home when someone knocks on my door or the front door. But other than those two things, she said he was great.

Also I have some good and bad news. The good news being I will be getting puppy #2 on August 2nd at the San Rafael Fun Day. The reason for getting it early is my mom and leader both agreed that it would be nice to have a few weeks to work with it before school starts. It is also a possibility that Emily or Kelsey or all of us will get littermates. I would really like a yellow male, but would also take a black male if that is all they had. So I put in my application today so as soon as I know the letter I will post! And the bad news being that DeSoto MAY be recalled on the August 16th recall list. My leader and I were talking about if he would be ready, I think he will, but I also think that a few more moths here would be good to. I am hoping that he goes back on the September or October recall. But I guess if it turns out that he goes back on August 16th that would be okay. One way or another he has to go, weather it`s August or October I will never be ready. So here are some pictures of his as a puppy until now.
