Training a puppy is a joy, a lesson in frustration and rewarding-all wrapped up in a cute hairy package.

Yeah, I woke up wondering if Fuzzi would be working today, and if so, when she could get off to go get HER DOG!!!!
Isn't it noon where you live...

3:35 where I live and it's not terribly far from @fuzzi ... So I'm thinking she's prob on way home with Caleb, or very close to. Believe she was going home at noon, doing something kitchenish for tomorrow's meal, then to get the newest family member.
It's hard to wait!!

My guess, she's having a lot of fun with Caleb right now. Starting her Thanksgiving early with him.

Checking in!
Worked til 11am.
Came home, baked pies.
Picked up Caleb about 3pm.
Good as gold on the ride (30 minutes) home.
We've had
1 leash walk around the house (inside)
2 leash walks in the front yard
2 leash walks down to the stop sign and back (about 7 houses down)
1 leash walk around the back yard
1 off leash run in the back yard after dark
He saw the outside cats, wanted to "visit" very badly, but I wouldn't let him.
He's been very restless, anxious, but not worrisome. I gave him a Time Out in his day crate. When he yipped I left the room.
Debbie our cat came out of the bedroom once I crated Caleb. He yipped, her eyes grew large, and she walked back to the bedroom. Actually, that was good. She didn't run. She's sulking under the bed.
We played some with a furry squeak ball, working on "off", "drop", and sitting once I have the ball. When I tossed it at him 2'-3' away he easily caught it.
Now he's finally winding down, lying for a few minutes before doing a house circuit again, touching base with me for a pet, then lying down again.
I'm tired!

Time out again in day crate. He has a couple toys in there. Foster mom said he can chill out when I need a break.
And allow Debbie the cat some freedom. She's still sulking.
