Kharma is 15 weeks old now and we wake up in the mornings and wonder how she managed to grow overnight! We've let the collar out 2 notches and her paws now look almost small compared to the long legs that have arrived.
Best of all, she got her last puppy shot almost a week ago. We have been so busy now that she can go anywhere.
She has had a zillion walks around the neighborhood (and is doing great on the leash). She has had her first couple puppy playdates with our neighbor, Echo, who was a teensy puppy at this time last year and has matured into a large friendly lab. Kharma wasn't too sure about this very large dog at first (and neither was her over-protective mom), but we have both relaxed. Echo seems to know the limits with a younger pup and Kharma just loves playing with her. I enjoy watching them.
Home Depot is another favorite spot. We get dog cookies from the lady at the return counter and lots of petting. It's fun talking with other dog people and like any proud parents, we are happy to chat about the apple of our eye.
Maybe the most fun was taking her to soccer practice. She was so good about not jumping up on the girls and not using her mouth on any hands. She came when I called so that I eventually felt comfy letting her off leash. She decided that scrimmaging was the most fun ever as she chased the ball all over and pretty much outran and outmaneuvered my girls. In return, the girls were fabulous with her.
I will hate to see the school year end, but I'm happy that there are only 3 more days and then I can spend my days with Kharma.
