another field trip

My friend Penny came down from Bangor today. She brought her 6 year old Belgian Shepard down with her. Acadia is the sweetest, most well behaved girl I know...except for mommy's angel, Santana, that is!

We loaded all them up and headed over to PetSmart. I knew today would be way more busier than Thursday night and I was right. We brought Bryce in and everyone wanted to see him. He of course was very scared but overall, he didn't seem overwhelmed with it. He got to visit with a few of the associates and one of our trainer friends there fed him lots of treats! She thinks he is Chesapeake bay retriever mix....Im still leaning towards Australian shepard/lab mix. He did well and got to meet some new dogs.

Afterwards, we headed over to the nature trails behind Cony High. He seemed annoyed that the other three dogs got to run free and he had to be tied. But there was noooo way I was letting that boy go! He wasnt sure about Penny but after a while he started walking next to her and even sniffing her leg to see what she was all about! He was running and playing with KD, and Santana and Buddy. They all got to play in the dirty brook but that is ok! He got all wrapped up in his leash and fell over into the mud/water. It didnt phase him though; he got up and followed them back into the water. Gotta love dirty, smelly dogs!

We turned around and started to hed back when he discovered a big ol stick! So cute when he grabbed it on the end like puppies do. It was like a foot long and about an inch in circumference. KD took it from him but towards the end he got it back. He likes walking in the woods and Im looking forward to taking him back. Hopefully Ill take some pictures!

He is remembering how to be a puppy. He has learned to jump on me so now we start having to teach "off". Not so bad, cept when he's muddy and smelly!
