Puppy School...

For the past 5 weeks we have been attending obedience school with Scout.  I would say she is one of the best dogs in the class.  We have all been going as a family, although Mike always does the training.  When the class starts I watch for a bit with the girls, but they are always more eager to head to the park right outside the gymnasium doors. I'll give a report when she graduates in 2 weeks. 

Obedience school will hopefully help with situations like this (markers--and crayons--are excellent things to run away with.  Actually, crayons can just be eaten like candy from the crayon bucket). 

Her biggest problem right now is jumping up to the table and counters trying (and often succeeding) to steal food.  We usually just put her in her kennel while we're eating. She's just getting so big, and still only 4 months old, so who can blame her when there is a big juicy steak fresh from the BBQ....
