Cerise bites off more than she can chew....

Cerise is adjusting happily to pack life. She even sleeps through the night now. And this morning she went back into the crate after her morning pee and slept for another hour. Bonus!

I've left her on her own in the crate a couple of times, just for an hour or so. She doesn't protest going in and both times she was asleep when I got back. I think we can safely say she's a crate-trained puppy.

We've been hitting the bike paths for the past few days, because Cerise has way too much energy to be carried. Today she fell into an almost perfect heel for over half an hour - she's learned that reaching the end of the leash, either by running ahead or falling behind, means a gentle tug that interrupts her little puppy flow.

We took her off-leash just once to let her fetch the ball, which is usually Ginny's full-time job. She looked so forlorn when Iggy got a turn that we just had to give her a turn too. She knew exactly what to do, and fetched like a trained professional.

And now she's having her giant post-walk nap, so it's time for me to catch up on some work.
