Zoe is the newest member of AAD and had to have her introductory picture taken in the littlest coat available! She's awful cute in it!
Zoe has joined the family of Nancy, Gunther and Monty - while Gunther has welcomed her, even though he gives me the, "can't you do something to control this whirling dervish?!" look! He's so very patient and good at showing Zoe the ropes. Monty on the other hand is still a bit put out that another dog has joined us - I think he thought everything was good just the way it was! As you can see...only Gunther has allowed Zoe to sleep snuggled up to him. Good dog Gunny.
Her first day of daycare found her in the land of BIG DOGS and babies! Being just 8 weeks old, she certainly doesn't seem to be too affected! Thanks to Deb for helping me out these first few months - I truly appreciate it.
Zoe is working on her potty training - which is going very well actually; crate training - going well, but not as popular and she's learning how to be a good girl with other dogs and children/babies. We won't start "official" service dog training for awhile. She'll attend a puppy kindergarten class soon to help with social interaction with other dogs and her public outings will help her find her place in the human world. This will be important foundation work for her being comfortable when her role as a service dog really begins.
She's an absolute doll and a joy to have in the house...even though sleep is no longer the priority!
