15 more minutes of outdoor time for the Arboks, then Argus and I will head off to the dog park for a good run, then on to White Castle for breakfast. Love our Sunday routine and Argus seems to know when it's Sunday.
A most productive Saturday with lots of cleaning, rug washing, and puppy socialization. Because Letty is not particularly outgoing, very brave about situations but not very interested in people, I'll put extra work into her as a pup. This is not a personality type I am used to working with, and one that I have not seen before in Argus kids (who normally love everyone), although Virgil/Herbie is very similar. Letty definitely has a mind of her own, and her life plan does not seem to include fawning over strangers the way most of my dogs do. She'll say Hi and accept treats, but does not climb up their bodies and cover them with kisses.
Yesterday she went to a new pet store and did well, was fine about being petted, and fearless as she stalked through the store checking out the merchandise. A small furry dog barked and her and she did not back down or panic as she had when a HUGE furry Goodedoodle loomed over her the previous week. Need to find some small friendly dogs for her to interact with. Where can I borrow a Cavalier?
Today is Lucas's day to go out. He's a soft, sweet, squishy boy who loves everyone and acts just like his dad, assuming that everyone wants to meet and admire him.
Later Jess and Laurie will bring the Crupens (Cruise/Penny) pups over so we can take pictures - a bit early, but it will be good socialization for them. Later Laurie and I will head off to Sea Salt for an awesome fish dinner.
Ron is fine, will be back in a few days. Coral misses him and wonders where he is. She's his special dog and she expects to spend her evenings sitting on the sofa beside him. I've made sure the oldsters get their daily walks, but I know they will be relieved when Ron shows up. Me, I've had a nice vacation of sorts. Some My Time, or maybe it's Me & The Dogs Time. I needed that!

That sounds like Audrey - very brave and confident and loves exploring- likes to sniff new people but doesn't like to be fawned over. I think it almost overwhelmed her as a pup. She absolutely squeals/squawks with delight at people she's got to know well and will smile, wag and wiggle like crazy. As she's maturing she's getting better and I've been using my older very outgoing boy with her at coffee shops etc so that she'll pick up that it's actually fun to get tons of attention - hope it will work but I guess like people you can't make someone outgoing with everyone?
