Petsmart!

Stella had a REALLY big day today! We took a trip to Petsmart for some socialization. Since she's still contagious and hasn't had all of her shots yet I took a doormat with me and put it in the bottom of a cart. Then I plopped her in there and we walked around the store. She met a couple of employees and she was pretty shy but very very good. I am all about some positive interactions right now. (Not so much about Petsmart though, they really push the puppy classes, and I'm taking her somewhere else.)

Stella loves to chew. She will chew and chew and chew on anything that she can find. So I've been coming up with ways to keep that little teething mouth occupied. I got a Kong ball at the store that I can fill with some of her food and she can roll it around and try to get them out. I also got her some peanut butter dental chews which she LOVES.

She does this funny thing with her chewtoys where she'll hang out in the living room chewing on them, and then come into the dining room and lie down on the doormat (yes, the same one I took to Petsmart, she seems to find it comforting) and chew for a few seconds, and the go back in the living room for a while. She does this over and over again. So I took video of her running around with her peanut butter snack! Such a happy puppy!



PS Sorry the sound on here is so terrible. I have other videos that I took with my phone but I can't get them onto my computer! So I took this with my camera.
