Puppy walking

An adventure in looking after a puppy until it is old enough to be properly trained as a guide dog for the blind.

Peter calls this one "Rockwell the demure".

Sometimes I just stand normally and pee, but my parents don't like that because sometimes I accidentally pee on the back of one of my front paws. Then if we are getting into the car they get all upset. Humans are so wierd!

Thanks Laura, happy new year to you too! Some of the photos are by Peter even though I'm not giving him the credit here.
