Just thought I'd say thanks again for the pup :). She's doing really well. Crate training is going well, she sits to go outside, knows sit really well in fact. Plays fetch, learning shake, and lay down. She's a really fast learner. Trying to get the nipping in line and get her to ignore dirt and stuff laying around outside. But all is well so far :).

First two times out walking she was nervous. But soon she realized that people just wanted to pet her non stop, now she wants to say hello to everyone. Keeping her moving can be a bit of a challenge.

She's been great on the short car trips, was great camping and has been getting along really well with everyone and all the other dogs around. Am looking forward to taking her to some puppy classes soon.

I definitely get the sense she's going to be the star of the class as she's obeying commands from others. Down, heel, and lay down are at slowly coming along... Decided to go with Terra (she is after all keeping me grounded, lol). Funny thing of course is she really seems to enjoy sniffing around and picking up all sorts of stuff in the dirt. I constantly have to keep up with picking stuff out of her mouth. I think after taking her to some classes she'll be walking nicely, right now she won't really heel and stay by my side or behind me because there's just too many new things and people to say hello to. She'll get a little annoyed and try herding me. I in turn make her sit, then a let's go, and start a little jog. She really loves that :).

I'll keep you posted as things progress. Everyone keeps asking where I got her, of course I keep saying from your shelter and to keep an eye out.
