So, evidently, the Puppy Class Instructor called us yesterday evening, but as I never know where my cell is (or it's not recharged), we missed it.
Of course it had to rain. As we're sitting in the parking lot, waiting for everyone else to arrive, H. sees nothing but HUMONGUS Golden Retrievers and FERAL Labradors. Oh yay, finally an overgrown Boxer.
"Turn the car around. We're going home. They'll CHOMP on EMILY!!!"
Evidently, no one else signed up for Puppy Class, and everyone else showed up for "Young Adult" classes, so we got private lessons under an awning, where two feet away, two guys started making beer. No really, this is Holland, this must happen all the time.
Emily could already "Come" when called, respond to her name, "Sit," so we learned "Down" and "Watch" (me). And we walked on the leash around the other HUGE EVOL DOGS (who belonged to Doggy Delinquents Anonymous, obviously). Ems was prancing next to me like a show puppy. (Happy Mommy didn't notice one of the black Labs tried to bite her)
So yes, Emily is a puppy prodigy.
Taking the advice of the intructor, we later took her out next to the Bio-Science Park, and went for a 40 minute walk. Oh. Wow. Ems sailed through that.
Yes, Emily's going to Harvard for sure. Wot? H. is a 진짜 한국엄마. tee hee.
