First month of fall! Back to school and back to regular puppy classes for us! We didn’t really take a break over the summer, maybe just a few little breaks in classes here and there, but it’s nice to get back in the swing of things, and I love the cooler weather and the leaves on the ground when we run around! My friends and I have done some fun hikes, we’ve been up around the Cleveland Dam and all sorts of new hiking and swimming places.

Fall also means we’re heading back inside for more mall walks, and we’ve been practicing our duration downs. We even had a little audience and some clapping when we were released after a really long time!

But at the end of the day, I am still just a 14-month-old puppy, and whether it’s a mall outing, class, or hike, my raiser makes sure I get my snuggle time with my stuffie and a good nap!
