Ivy's First Day

Ivy had a perfect day. Perfect means:
(1) She still smells like puppy pee and poo, but so do we from carrying her in and out of the yard this morning; and so does the TV room, from having her and the crate in it for 24 hours. So we don't even notice it anymore. As long as we don't have any company, it's just perfect. And tomorrow she'll have her first bath.
(2) She's free to run about now without her leash. She likes to come back in the house with Ginny, so we don't have to worry about losing her under the deck. And she'll let all of us approach her as long as we do it slowly. That means she doesn't fall down anymore from tripping over her leash, which is perfect.
(3) She pooped in the yard! And not in the house! You can't get much more perfect than that.
Tomorrow she's going on her first doggy walk. She'll have to go in the carrier, but I think she'll relax and enjoy it after the first little while, because she seems to love any kind of activity.

  1. Ivy has the most beautiful curious puppy eyes! Maggie, you really should publish the before pic where her eyes expressed such defeat that I mistook her for an adult dog. This transformation is amazing! Great Job!
