Papillion Warmer than Venice in February
This post is for Melissa who wonders if I'll ever write another blog post about anything other than Summer. Haha!
Unbelievable! We actually had a warmer day in Nebraska than in Florida last week. And it was in mid-February! I could live here forever if winter was always this warm. Must be global warming! 😂☀️ Except I don't believe in global warming!

Summer's First "Real" Haircut
I tried to trim around Summer's eyes so she could see better, but I did a terrible job. So now we can add Summer to the list of people/animals that I'm not "allowed" to cut their hair. Haha!
I took her into PetSmart today for a puppy cut and they did a much better job but I was sad to see some of that cute puppy hair gone around her face. She looks a little older now. But at least she can see.

Puppy Claases
Summer started her obedience training last night. We chose to put her in classes with the hopes that she'll do so well, that she can be trained as a therapy dog to visit hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. I also would like her to assist me with my tutoring. Dogs can be very helpful with children learning to read.
I felt bad for Mario when he saw the other puppies in the class. There are 3 puppy labs in her class of 6 dogs. One was the cutest chocolate lab puppy I've ever seen. Mario looked at me and said, "We could have had one like him." But as class progressed on, he realized how much work that puppy was and I think he became grateful for our little Summer.
The instructor told us to unleash all the puppies. All of them played together except Summer. She hid under my chair. If it were people she could play with, she'd be out there first. But she was completely unsure of all those big, rambunctious puppies. The instructor assured us that this was normal and she'd be out playing with the others soon. We sure hope so.
Summer loved the teacher. She kept giving out treats and Summer got to model some good behavior so she got some extra treats from her. While the other dogs stayed close to their owners, Summer was out in the middle of the floor as far as her leash would allow her. She wanted to be as close to the "treat lady" as possible. Or she was looking to be teacher's pet.

Summer is 15 Weeks Old
She's either getting bigger or fluffier. She went to the vet this week and he said he was expecting her to be bigger by now. So he expects her to be on the smaller side of a mini golden doodle. That sounded great to me since my boys have two friends with minis over 40 pounds.
She starts puppy classes this week. She loves people but we aren't sure how much she likes other puppies, so this will be interesting.
She loves short walks, rides in the car, going into dog-friendly stores, and ringing her bells to go outside. She keeps us busy but we all love her, including Mario. She has her little routine of going potty first thing in the morning and then running off to find Mario. He's the only one that knows her favorite tickle spot and he keeps it a secret from the rest of us.
